How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in South Windham

   The source and duration help interpret moisture patterns. A local technician documents the South Windham property's wet layers.

• Stop the dishwasher and close an accessible supply valve if the area is safe.
• Keep people out from under bulging or dripping ceiling drywall.
• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.

• Photograph the kitchen floor and lower ceiling from safe positions.
