How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Tuolumne

1. Remove accessible water

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

2. Map the wet materials

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

3. Open trapped-water areas

   Contaminated porous material may need removal after a used-water release. The Tuolumne team cleans and sanitizes affected surfaces as appropriate.

4. Dry and verify

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

• Keep people out from under bulging or dripping ceiling drywall.
