How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Genoa

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 Genoa home.

   Contaminated porous material may need removal after a used-water release. The Genoa team cleans and sanitizes affected surfaces as appropriate.

• 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.
• Move loose belongings away from the drip without standing below a sagging area.
• Photograph the kitchen floor and lower ceiling from safe positions.
