How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Afton

1. Remove accessible water

   A pump or extraction tool removes the liquid that a towel cannot reach. The Afton crew starts with the wettest accessible areas.

2. Map the wet materials

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

3. Open trapped-water areas

   A damaged toe kick can block airflow around wet cabinet bases. The Afton crew opens access when material conditions require it.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers and dehumidifiers draw moisture from exposed materials. Daily readings show the Afton crew whether drying is progressing.
