How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Medina

2. Map the wet materials

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

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