How Dishwasher Leak Into Cabinets Cleanup Works in Star Junction

1. Remove accessible water

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

2. Map the wet materials

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

3. Open trapped-water areas

• Leave wet plugs, outlets and appliance wiring alone; an electrician handles hazards.
• Remove dry contents from neighboring cupboards without pulling fixed panels apart.
