How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Thetford

1. Remove accessible water

2. Map the wet materials

   Dry-looking surfaces can hide damp materials below. The crew records those concealed points before drying begins in Thetford.

   Opening only the necessary wet areas gives equipment a path to the structure. The Thetford technician documents each material taken out.

4. Dry and verify
