How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Silver Lake

1. Remove accessible water

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

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.
