How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Grantsburg

1. Remove accessible water

   The crew collects liquid from seams and nearby cabinets to limit continued absorption. A Grantsburg assessment defines where work begins.

2. Map the wet materials

• Stop the dishwasher and close an accessible supply valve if the area is safe.
• Keep people out from under bulging or dripping ceiling drywall.
• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
