How Washer Overflow Cleanup Works in Bolt

Anything that stays wet past the first two days turns into a bigger job. Pad and drywall that might have dried in place can become tear-out.

1. Pump out the standing water

   Recovered wash water goes into the machine's tank and out to a proper disposal point. It is never sent toward another room or a storm drain.

2. Map the moisture

   The map sets the drying class, from 1 to 4, which controls how much equipment the room needs. A small spill on tile is Class 1, and soaked plaster or hardwood climbs higher.

3. Clean and pull what cannot dry

   Soap film is rinsed from floors and wall bases. Left behind, it stays tacky and holds both dirt and moisture.

4. Dry and verify

   Wet materials can start growing mold within 24 to 48 hours, so the first day of equipment matters. The daily readings show the moisture falling.
