How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in South Range

1. Remove accessible water

   If used wash water escaped, the technician considers contamination during removal. At the South Range property, cleanup follows the affected materials.

2. Map the wet materials

• Move loose belongings away from the drip without standing below a sagging area.
• Photograph the kitchen floor and lower ceiling from safe positions.
