How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Norris

1. Remove accessible water

   Water behind the toe kick may need access before extraction. The local team opens the necessary area in the Norris kitchen.

2. Map the wet materials

3. Open trapped-water areas

   Opening only the necessary wet areas gives equipment a path to the structure. The Norris technician documents each material taken out.

4. Dry and verify

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

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