How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Trafalgar

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 Trafalgar home.

3. Open trapped-water areas

• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
