How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Catlin

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

• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
• Move loose belongings away from the drip without standing below a sagging area.
• Photograph the kitchen floor and lower ceiling from safe positions.
