How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Gibson

1. Remove accessible water

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

2. Map the wet materials

3. Open trapped-water areas

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

4. Dry and verify

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