How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Rantoul

1. Remove accessible water

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

   Dry-looking surfaces can hide damp materials below. The crew records those concealed points before drying begins in Rantoul.

3. Open trapped-water areas

   A damaged toe kick can block airflow around wet cabinet bases. The Rantoul crew opens access when material conditions require it.

4. Dry and verify

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

• Keep people out from under bulging or dripping ceiling drywall.
