How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Cornwall

1. Remove accessible water

2. Map the wet materials

   Dry-looking surfaces can hide damp materials below. The crew records those concealed points before drying begins in Cornwall.

   Air movers and dehumidifiers draw moisture from exposed materials. Daily readings show the Cornwall crew whether drying is progressing.

• 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.
