How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Dexter

1. Remove accessible water

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

2. Map the wet materials

   The first puddle does not define the damage boundary. In Dexter, 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 Dexter technician documents each material taken out.

4. Dry and verify

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

• Stop the dishwasher and close an accessible supply valve if the area is safe.
• Keep people out from under bulging or dripping ceiling drywall.
