How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Presho

1. Remove accessible water

2. Map the wet materials

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

   A damaged toe kick can block airflow around wet cabinet bases. The Presho crew opens access when material conditions require it.

4. Dry and verify

• Stop the dishwasher and close an accessible supply valve if the area is safe.
• Keep people out from under bulging or dripping ceiling drywall.
• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
