How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Mc Kee

2. Map the wet materials

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

3. Open trapped-water areas

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