How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Protem

1. Remove accessible water

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

2. Map the wet materials

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

3. Open trapped-water areas

   Contaminated porous material may need removal after a used-water release. The Protem team cleans and sanitizes affected surfaces as appropriate.

4. Dry and verify

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

• 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.
