How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Leland

1. Remove accessible water

   Dry-looking surfaces can hide damp materials below. The crew records those concealed points before drying begins in Leland.

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