How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Flat Rock

1. Remove accessible water

   Visible water is recovered first, then the technician checks for concealed spread. The Flat Rock dry-out is based on material readings.

2. Map the wet materials

   Dry-looking surfaces can hide damp materials below. The crew records those concealed points before drying begins in Flat Rock.

3. Open trapped-water areas

   Swollen composite parts sometimes cannot be saved by airflow alone. The technician identifies removal needs in the Flat Rock kitchen.

• Keep people out from under bulging or dripping ceiling drywall.
• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.

• Photograph the kitchen floor and lower ceiling from safe positions.
