How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Kennard

1. Remove accessible water

   The crew collects liquid from seams and nearby cabinets to limit continued absorption. A Kennard assessment defines where work begins.

• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
• Move loose belongings away from the drip without standing below a sagging area.
• Photograph the kitchen floor and lower ceiling from safe positions.
