How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Onyx

1. Remove accessible water

   Visible water is recovered first, then the technician checks for concealed spread. The Onyx dry-out is based on material readings.

2. Map the wet materials

   Cabinet bases, wallboard and the appliance opening receive separate checks. This map helps the Onyx crew place drying equipment.

3. Open trapped-water areas

   If flooring traps moisture against underlayment, the technician may lift affected sections. The drying plan at the Onyx property follows the actual assembly.

4. Dry and verify

   A drying record lists the equipment, materials and readings. That evidence helps the Onyx property owner plan finish work.

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