1. Remove accessible water

   Cabinet bases, wallboard and the appliance opening receive separate checks. This map helps the Ellenboro crew place drying equipment.

• Stop the dishwasher and close an accessible supply valve if the area is safe.
• Keep people out from under bulging or dripping ceiling drywall.
• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
