How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Arkansas City

1. Remove accessible water

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

• Stop the dishwasher and close an accessible supply valve if the area is safe.

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

• Photograph the kitchen floor and lower ceiling from safe positions.
