How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Driscoll

1. Remove accessible water

   A leak from an upper floor may reach insulation and a lower ceiling. The assessor checks both levels of the Driscoll home.

3. Open trapped-water areas

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