How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Eaton

1. Remove accessible water

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 Eaton home.

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

4. Dry and verify

   The crew checks comparison materials before declaring the wet structure dry. A Eaton rebuild contractor can then scope finishes.
