How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Garnett

1. Remove accessible water

   A pump or extraction tool removes the liquid that a towel cannot reach. The Garnett crew starts with the wettest accessible areas.

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

4. Dry and verify

   Cabinets, subflooring and wallboard can dry at different rates. The local team monitors each affected layer at the Garnett address.

• Stop the dishwasher and close an accessible supply valve if the area is safe.
• Keep people out from under bulging or dripping ceiling drywall.
