How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in New Lenox

1. Remove accessible water

   Visible water is recovered first, then the technician checks for concealed spread. The New Lenox dry-out is based on material readings.

   Cabinet bases, wallboard and the appliance opening receive separate checks. This map helps the New Lenox crew place drying equipment.
