How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Tunas

1. Remove accessible water

3. Open trapped-water areas

   Opening only the necessary wet areas gives equipment a path to the structure. The Tunas technician documents each material taken out.

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