How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Pomona

1. Remove accessible water

2. Map the wet materials

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

3. Open trapped-water areas

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

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers and dehumidifiers draw moisture from exposed materials. Daily readings show the Pomona 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.
