How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Westfield

1. Extract the accessible water

   The Westfield crew removes pooled water from the kitchen floor. A technician also checks the edge where liquid may have entered nearby rooms.

• Avoid piercing the ceiling to release trapped water.
• Photograph the kitchen spill and lower ceiling from safe locations.
