How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Poteau

1. Remove accessible water

   A pump or extraction tool removes the liquid that a towel cannot reach. The Poteau crew starts with the wettest accessible areas.

2. Map the wet materials

3. Open trapped-water areas

   A wet ceiling cavity can hold insulation above the visible stain. The crew creates access at the Poteau home when that layer cannot dry closed.

4. Dry and verify

• Keep people out from under bulging or dripping ceiling drywall.
• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
