How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Hornitos

2. Map the wet materials

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

• 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.
• Photograph the kitchen floor and lower ceiling from safe positions.
