How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Pilot Point

1. Remove accessible water

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

4. Dry and verify

   The crew checks comparison materials before declaring the wet structure dry. A Pilot Point rebuild contractor can then scope finishes.
