How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Seneca

1. Remove accessible water

3. Open trapped-water areas

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

A cabinet base made from engineered wood readily absorbs a leak. Early extraction and dehumidification shorten the time that the material stays wet at a Seneca property.

• 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.
