How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Superior

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

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

An upstairs leak can wet insulation out of sight. A Superior restoration crew checks the ceiling assembly rather than trusting the stain to show the full extent.

• 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.
• Move loose belongings away from the drip without standing below a sagging area.
• Photograph the kitchen floor and lower ceiling from safe positions.
