How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Ivesdale

3. Open trapped-water areas

   Contaminated porous material may need removal after a used-water release. The Ivesdale team cleans and sanitizes affected surfaces as appropriate.

• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
