How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Pimento

1. Remove accessible water

   A pump or extraction tool removes the liquid that a towel cannot reach. The Pimento crew starts with the wettest accessible areas.

2. Map the wet materials

   The first puddle does not define the damage boundary. In Pimento, readings reveal where water followed seams and cavities.

3. Open trapped-water areas

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

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers and dehumidifiers draw moisture from exposed materials. Daily readings show the Pimento crew whether drying is progressing.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Drying begins with liquid removal because a standing puddle keeps feeding the wet structure. The local crew measures the Pimento floor layers and places equipment for the remaining moisture.

• 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.
