How Dishwasher Leak Into Cabinets Cleanup Works in Colfax

1. Remove accessible water

   The crew collects liquid from seams and nearby cabinets to limit continued absorption. A Colfax assessment defines where work begins.

2. Map the wet materials

   The first puddle does not define the damage boundary. In Colfax, readings reveal where water followed seams and cavities.
