How Dishwasher Leak Cleanup Works in Castalia

A cabinet base made from engineered wood readily absorbs a leak. Early extraction and dehumidification shorten the time that the material stays wet at a Castalia property.

1. Remove accessible water

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

2. Map the wet materials

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

3. Open trapped-water areas

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

4. Dry and verify

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