How Dishwasher Leak Into Cabinets Cleanup Works in Alden

2. Map the wet materials

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers and dehumidifiers draw moisture from exposed materials. Daily readings show the Alden crew whether drying is progressing.

• Leave wet plugs, outlets and appliance wiring alone; an electrician handles hazards.
