How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Candler

1. Remove accessible water

   If used wash water escaped, the technician considers contamination during removal. At the Candler property, cleanup follows the affected materials.

2. Map the wet materials

   Dry-looking surfaces can hide damp materials below. The crew records those concealed points before drying begins in Candler.

3. Open trapped-water areas

   Contaminated porous material may need removal after a used-water release. The Candler team cleans and sanitizes affected surfaces as appropriate.

4. Dry and verify

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

• 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.
