How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Colorado City

1. Remove accessible water

   Visible water is recovered first, then the technician checks for concealed spread. The Colorado City dry-out is based on material readings.

2. Map the wet materials

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

• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
