How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Accident

1. Remove accessible water

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

3. Open trapped-water areas

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

• 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.
