How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Sawyer

1. Remove accessible water

   Visible water is recovered first, then the technician checks for concealed spread. The Sawyer dry-out is based on material readings.

• 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.
