How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Westport

1. Remove accessible water

   Water behind the toe kick may need access before extraction. The local team opens the necessary area in the Westport kitchen.

4. Dry and verify

   The crew checks comparison materials before declaring the wet structure dry. A Westport rebuild contractor can then scope finishes.

• Stop the dishwasher and close an accessible supply valve if the area is safe.
• Keep people out from under bulging or dripping ceiling drywall.
