How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Sturgis

1. Remove accessible water

   If used wash water escaped, the technician considers contamination during removal. At the Sturgis property, cleanup follows the affected materials.

4. Dry and verify

   A drying record lists the equipment, materials and readings. That evidence helps the Sturgis property owner plan finish work.

• Keep people out from under bulging or dripping ceiling drywall.
