How Dishwasher Leak Under Floor Cleanup Works in Saint George

1. Remove accessible water

   The crew collects liquid from seams and nearby cabinets to limit continued absorption. A Saint George assessment defines where work begins.

3. Open trapped-water areas

• 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.
