How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Medon

1. Remove accessible water

2. Map the wet materials

   Cabinet bases, wallboard and the appliance opening receive separate checks. This map helps the Medon crew place drying equipment.

3. Open trapped-water areas

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

4. Dry and verify

   A drying record lists the equipment, materials and readings. That evidence helps the Medon property owner plan finish work.
