How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Durham

1. Remove accessible water

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

4. Dry and verify

   A drying record lists the equipment, materials and readings. That evidence helps the Durham property owner plan finish work.
