How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in San Andreas

1. Remove accessible water

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

2. Map the wet materials

   A leak from an upper floor may reach insulation and a lower ceiling. The assessor checks both levels of the San Andreas home.

4. Dry and verify

• 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.

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