How Dishwasher Leak Under Floor Cleanup Works in Dyke

1. Remove accessible water

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

2. Map the wet materials

   A leak from an upper floor may reach insulation and a lower ceiling. The assessor checks both levels of the Dyke home.

3. Open trapped-water areas

   A wet ceiling cavity can hold insulation above the visible stain. The crew creates access at the Dyke home when that layer cannot dry closed.

4. Dry and verify

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

• Keep people off soft or lifted flooring to avoid further damage.
• Avoid using wet outlets, cords or the appliance; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
