How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Steinhatchee

1. Remove accessible water

   A pump or extraction tool removes the liquid that a towel cannot reach. The Steinhatchee crew starts with the wettest accessible areas.

   Swollen composite parts sometimes cannot be saved by airflow alone. The technician identifies removal needs in the Steinhatchee kitchen.

• Keep people out from under bulging or dripping ceiling drywall.
• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
