How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Congress

1. Remove accessible water

   A moisture meter shows whether the subfloor remains wet beneath finished flooring. The Congress technician compares affected and dry areas.

3. Open trapped-water areas

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