How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Fountainville

1. Remove accessible water

2. Map the wet materials

   The source and duration help interpret moisture patterns. A local technician documents the Fountainville property's wet layers.

3. Open trapped-water areas

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

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