How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Brothers

   Cabinet bases, wallboard and the appliance opening receive separate checks. This map helps the Brothers crew place drying equipment.

4. Dry and verify

   Cabinets, subflooring and wallboard can dry at different rates. The local team monitors each affected layer at the Brothers address.

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