How Dishwasher Leak Under Floor Cleanup Works in Mount Vernon

1. Remove accessible water

• 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.
