How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Peggs

1. Remove accessible water

4. Dry and verify

   Measured progress determines when dehumidification ends. The final Peggs report documents the dry-out and any removed material.

• Keep people out from under bulging or dripping ceiling drywall.
