How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Remlap

1. Remove accessible water

   If used wash water escaped, the technician considers contamination during removal. At the Remlap 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 Remlap crew place drying equipment.

3. Open trapped-water areas

   A damaged toe kick can block airflow around wet cabinet bases. The Remlap crew opens access when material conditions require it.

4. Dry and verify

   Measured progress determines when dehumidification ends. The final Remlap report documents the dry-out and any removed material.
