How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in East Bridgewater

2. Map the wet materials

   Dry-looking surfaces can hide damp materials below. The crew records those concealed points before drying begins in East Bridgewater.

3. Open trapped-water areas

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

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