How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Oldham

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 Oldham.

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

• Keep people out from under bulging or dripping ceiling drywall.
• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
