How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Stratford

1. Remove accessible water

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

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