How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Sims

1. Remove accessible water

   If used wash water escaped, the technician considers contamination during removal. At the Sims property, cleanup follows the affected materials.

3. Open trapped-water areas

   Swollen composite parts sometimes cannot be saved by airflow alone. The technician identifies removal needs in the Sims kitchen.

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