How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Lamar

1. Remove accessible water

2. Map the wet materials

   A leak from an upper floor may reach insulation and a lower ceiling. The assessor checks both levels of the Lamar home.

3. Open trapped-water areas

   Contaminated porous material may need removal after a used-water release. The Lamar team cleans and sanitizes affected surfaces as appropriate.

4. Dry and verify

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

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