How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Bunnell

1. Remove accessible water

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.
