How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Belt

1. Remove accessible water

   A pump or extraction tool removes the liquid that a towel cannot reach. The Belt crew starts with the wettest accessible areas.

2. Map the wet materials

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