How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Collins Center

2. Map the wet materials

   A leak from an upper floor may reach insulation and a lower ceiling. The assessor checks both levels of the Collins Center home.

• Stop the dishwasher and close an accessible supply valve if the area is safe.
