How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Andrew

1. Remove accessible water

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

2. Map the wet materials

3. Open trapped-water areas

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

4. Dry and verify

   The crew checks comparison materials before declaring the wet structure dry. A Andrew rebuild contractor can then scope finishes.

• 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.
