How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Boody

1. Remove accessible water

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

2. Map the wet materials

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

3. Open trapped-water areas

   Opening only the necessary wet areas gives equipment a path to the structure. The Boody technician documents each material taken out.
