How Dishwasher Leak Into Cabinets Cleanup Works in Paw Paw

1. Remove accessible water

   A pump or extraction tool removes the liquid that a towel cannot reach. The Paw Paw crew starts with the wettest accessible areas.

   A leak from an upper floor may reach insulation and a lower ceiling. The assessor checks both levels of the Paw Paw home.

   A damaged toe kick can block airflow around wet cabinet bases. The Paw Paw crew opens access when material conditions require it.

4. Dry and verify

   Cabinets, subflooring and wallboard can dry at different rates. The local team monitors each affected layer at the Paw Paw address.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

• Stop using the dishwasher and close the accessible supply valve when safe.
• Leave wet plugs, outlets and appliance wiring alone; an electrician handles hazards.
• Remove dry contents from neighboring cupboards without pulling fixed panels apart.
• Keep cleaning chemicals away from standing water if they can be moved safely.
• Photograph swelling, stains and the position of water before cleanup.
