How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Witherbee

1. Remove accessible water

2. Map the wet materials

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

3. Open trapped-water areas

   If flooring traps moisture against underlayment, the technician may lift affected sections. The drying plan at the Witherbee property follows the actual assembly.

4. Dry and verify
