How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Sugar Grove

1. Remove accessible water

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers and dehumidifiers draw moisture from exposed materials. Daily readings show the Sugar Grove crew whether drying is progressing.

• 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.
• Move loose belongings away from the drip without standing below a sagging area.
