How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Carrier Mills

1. Remove accessible water

   If used wash water escaped, the technician considers contamination during removal. At the Carrier Mills property, cleanup follows the affected materials.

2. Map the wet materials

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

3. Open trapped-water areas

   A wet ceiling cavity can hold insulation above the visible stain. The crew creates access at the Carrier Mills home when that layer cannot dry closed.

• Keep people out from under bulging or dripping ceiling drywall.
