How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Melstone

1. Remove accessible water

   Water behind the toe kick may need access before extraction. The local team opens the necessary area in the Melstone kitchen.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

An upstairs leak can wet insulation out of sight. A Melstone restoration crew checks the ceiling assembly rather than trusting the stain to show the full extent.

• 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.
