How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Aredale

1. Remove accessible water

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

• 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.
