How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Tidewater

1. Remove accessible water

   If used wash water escaped, the technician considers contamination during removal. At the Tidewater property, cleanup follows the affected materials.

2. Map the wet materials

   Cabinet bases, wallboard and the appliance opening receive separate checks. This map helps the Tidewater crew place drying equipment.

   Opening only the necessary wet areas gives equipment a path to the structure. The Tidewater technician documents each material taken out.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers and dehumidifiers draw moisture from exposed materials. Daily readings show the Tidewater crew whether drying is progressing.

• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
