How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Luzerne

1. Remove accessible water

   Visible water is recovered first, then the technician checks for concealed spread. The Luzerne dry-out is based on material readings.

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

• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
• Move loose belongings away from the drip without standing below a sagging area.
• Photograph the kitchen floor and lower ceiling from safe positions.
