How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Clarksville

1. Remove accessible water

2. Map the wet materials

   A leak from an upper floor may reach insulation and a lower ceiling. The assessor checks both levels of the Clarksville home.

• Stop the dishwasher and close an accessible supply valve if the area is safe.
• Keep people out from under bulging or dripping ceiling drywall.
• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.

• Photograph the kitchen floor and lower ceiling from safe positions.
