How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Interlochen

1. Remove accessible water

2. Map the wet materials

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

3. Open trapped-water areas

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

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

• Keep people out from under bulging or dripping ceiling drywall.
• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
• Move loose belongings away from the drip without standing below a sagging area.
• Photograph the kitchen floor and lower ceiling from safe positions.
