How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Wheatley

1. Remove accessible water

2. Map the wet materials

   A moisture meter shows whether the subfloor remains wet beneath finished flooring. The Wheatley technician compares affected and dry areas.

3. Open trapped-water areas

   Contaminated porous material may need removal after a used-water release. The Wheatley team cleans and sanitizes affected surfaces as appropriate.

4. Dry and verify

• Stop the dishwasher and close an accessible supply valve if the area is safe.
• Keep people out from under bulging or dripping ceiling drywall.
• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
