How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Lewis Run

1. Remove accessible water

   Water behind the toe kick may need access before extraction. The local team opens the necessary area in the Lewis Run kitchen.

2. Map the wet materials

   The first puddle does not define the damage boundary. In Lewis Run, readings reveal where water followed seams and cavities.
