How Dishwasher Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Lapine

1. Remove accessible water

   Contaminated porous material may need removal after a used-water release. The Lapine team cleans and sanitizes affected surfaces as appropriate.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers and dehumidifiers draw moisture from exposed materials. Daily readings show the Lapine crew whether drying is progressing.
