How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in La Crosse

1. Remove accessible water

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

2. Map the wet materials

   Cabinet bases, wallboard and the appliance opening receive separate checks. This map helps the La Crosse crew place drying equipment.

3. Open trapped-water areas

   Contaminated porous material may need removal after a used-water release. The La Crosse team cleans and sanitizes affected surfaces as appropriate.

4. Dry and verify

• Keep people out from under bulging or dripping ceiling drywall.
• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
