How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Taos

1. Remove accessible water

   Swollen composite parts sometimes cannot be saved by airflow alone. The technician identifies removal needs in the Taos kitchen.

• Move loose belongings away from the drip without standing below a sagging area.
• Photograph the kitchen floor and lower ceiling from safe positions.
