How Dishwasher Leak Under Floor Cleanup Works in Monroe

3. Open trapped-water areas

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

• Stop running the dishwasher and close its accessible water valve if the area is safe.
• Keep people off soft or lifted flooring to avoid further damage.
• Avoid using wet outlets, cords or the appliance; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
• Move loose items from the wet floor without pulling up fixed flooring.
• Photograph the water path and floor changes before cleanup starts.
