How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Lakota

1. Remove accessible water

   The crew collects liquid from seams and nearby cabinets to limit continued absorption. A Lakota assessment defines where work begins.

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 Lakota home.

   A damaged toe kick can block airflow around wet cabinet bases. The Lakota crew opens access when material conditions require it.

• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
