The dishwasher should remain off after an overflow. An appliance specialist identifies why the machine released water; the cleanup team checks where it went in the Rescue property. Call 24/7 if the subfloor is wet.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
A cabinet base made from engineered wood readily absorbs a leak. Early extraction and dehumidification shorten the time that the material stays wet at a Rescue property.
- Stop the dishwasher and close an accessible supply valve if the area is safe.
- Keep people out from under bulging or dripping ceiling drywall.
- Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
- Move loose belongings away from the drip without standing below a sagging area.
- Photograph the kitchen floor and lower ceiling from safe positions.

A source technician identifies the failed connection, and the Rescue crew dries affected cabinets.
