How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Canton

1. Remove accessible water

2. Map the wet materials

   Cabinet bases, wallboard and the appliance opening receive separate checks. This map helps the Canton crew place drying equipment.

3. Open trapped-water areas

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