How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Drummond Island

1. Remove accessible water

   The crew collects liquid from seams and nearby cabinets to limit continued absorption. A Drummond Island assessment defines where work begins.

2. Map the wet materials

   The first puddle does not define the damage boundary. In Drummond Island, readings reveal where water followed seams and cavities.

3. Open trapped-water areas

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

4. Dry and verify

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

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

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