How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Humboldt

1. Remove accessible water

3. Open trapped-water areas

   Swollen composite parts sometimes cannot be saved by airflow alone. The technician identifies removal needs in the Humboldt kitchen.

• Keep people out from under bulging or dripping ceiling drywall.
• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
