- 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.
- Move loose belongings away from the drip without standing below a sagging area.
- Photograph the kitchen floor and lower ceiling from safe positions.
