How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Monona

1. Remove accessible water

   A pump or extraction tool removes the liquid that a towel cannot reach. The Monona 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 Monona crew place drying equipment.

3. Open trapped-water areas

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

4. Dry and verify

   A drying record lists the equipment, materials and readings. That evidence helps the Monona property owner plan finish work.

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