How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Crandall

1. Remove accessible water

   If used wash water escaped, the technician considers contamination during removal. At the Crandall property, cleanup follows the affected materials.

   A leak from an upper floor may reach insulation and a lower ceiling. The assessor checks both levels of the Crandall home.

3. Open trapped-water areas

• 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.
• Move loose belongings away from the drip without standing below a sagging area.
• Photograph the kitchen floor and lower ceiling from safe positions.
