How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Coronado

1. Remove accessible water

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

2. Map the wet materials

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

4. Dry and verify
