How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Mekinock

1. Remove accessible water

3. Open trapped-water areas

   A damaged toe kick can block airflow around wet cabinet bases. The Mekinock crew opens access when material conditions require it.

4. Dry and verify

• 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.
