How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Manson

1. Remove accessible water

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

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