How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Pelican

1. Remove accessible water

   If used wash water escaped, the technician considers contamination during removal. At the Pelican property, cleanup follows the affected materials.

2. Map the wet materials

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

3. Open trapped-water areas

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

4. Dry and verify

   The crew checks comparison materials before declaring the wet structure dry. A Pelican rebuild contractor can then scope finishes.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

• 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.
• Move loose belongings away from the drip without standing below a sagging area.
• Photograph the kitchen floor and lower ceiling from safe positions.
