How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in College Station

1. Remove accessible water

2. Map the wet materials

   Dry-looking surfaces can hide damp materials below. The crew records those concealed points before drying begins in College Station.

3. Open trapped-water areas

• Photograph the kitchen floor and lower ceiling from safe positions.
