How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Carroll

1. Remove accessible water

2. Map the wet materials

3. Open trapped-water areas

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

4. Dry and verify
