How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Rowland

   Cabinet bases, wallboard and the appliance opening receive separate checks. This map helps the Rowland crew place drying equipment.

3. Open trapped-water areas

4. Dry and verify

• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
