How Dishwasher Leak Under Floor Cleanup Works in Steep Falls

1. Remove accessible water

   Visible water is recovered first, then the technician checks for concealed spread. The Steep Falls dry-out is based on material readings.

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.
