How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Albertson

1. Remove accessible water

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

2. Map the wet materials

   The first puddle does not define the damage boundary. In Albertson, readings reveal where water followed seams and cavities.

3. Open trapped-water areas
