How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Rio Dell

1. Remove accessible water

   A pump or extraction tool removes the liquid that a towel cannot reach. The Rio Dell crew starts with the wettest accessible areas.

• Keep people out from under bulging or dripping ceiling drywall.
• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.

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