How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Frontenac

1. Remove accessible water

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

2. Map the wet materials

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

3. Open trapped-water areas
