How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Falcon

1. Remove accessible water

   The crew collects liquid from seams and nearby cabinets to limit continued absorption. A Falcon assessment defines where work begins.

2. Map the wet materials

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

3. Open trapped-water areas

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

4. Dry and verify

   The crew checks comparison materials before declaring the wet structure dry. A Falcon rebuild contractor can then scope finishes.
