No matter the size of the leak, SERVPRO of Huntington is ready to help in a moment's notice to restore your home to preloss condition.

Dealing with water damage from a leaking dishwasher can be a major headache for homeowners. However, with the right approach and professional assistance, you can navigate the restoration process smoothly and restore your home to its pre-leak condition. 

Here’s what to do if your dishwasher betrays you and leaves you with a major mess: 

Assess the Damage
The first step in recovering from water damage caused by a dishwasher leak is to assess the extent of the damage. Start by identifying the source of the leak and turning off the dishwasher’s water supply to prevent further flooding.

Then, inspect the affected areas, including the floor, cabinets and walls, for signs of water damage such as warping, discoloration or mold growth. Take photos or videos of the damage for insurance purposes.

Start the Drying Process
After you have assessed the situation, get us on the phone so we can get started on your restoration. We will ask all kinds of questions to help us understand your situation and then we will be on our way to you to help tackle your recovery. 

While you wait for us to arrive, make sure that your family is safe by blocking off the area and by turning electricity off to any affected rooms. 

Open some windows and turn on some fans as well to help start the drying process while you wait for us to get there. You should also use caution when moving around your home as even just a small amount of water can cause serious damage to your floorboards and walls, leaving you vulnerable to injury.
