How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Tomahawk

1. Remove accessible water

   The crew collects liquid from seams and nearby cabinets to limit continued absorption. A Tomahawk assessment defines where work begins.

2. Map the wet materials

   A leak from an upper floor may reach insulation and a lower ceiling. The assessor checks both levels of the Tomahawk home.

3. Open trapped-water areas

   A wet ceiling cavity can hold insulation above the visible stain. The crew creates access at the Tomahawk home when that layer cannot dry closed.

• Keep people out from under bulging or dripping ceiling drywall.
• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
