How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Woodland Park

1. Remove accessible water

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

• 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.
