How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Pikeville

1. Remove accessible water

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

• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.

• Photograph the kitchen floor and lower ceiling from safe positions.
