How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Berrien Springs

1. Extract the accessible water

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

• Keep people and pets out from under a bulging ceiling.
• Do not touch a wet light fixture or switch.
