How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Banco

1. Remove accessible water

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

4. Dry and verify

• Keep people out from under bulging or dripping ceiling drywall.
• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
