Dishwasher flooded the kitchen
Dishwasher Flooded House.
What to do when my dishwasher flooded my house
If your dishwasher has flooded your house, there are several steps you should take immediately:
- Turn off the power: First, turn off the power to the dishwasher and unplug it from the outlet. If the water has reached any electrical outlets or appliances, turn off the electricity to those as well.
- Turn off the water: Locate the water shut-off valve to your dishwasher, and turn off the water supply. If you are unable to locate the valve or turn it off, you may need to turn off the main water supply to your home.
- Remove the water: Use a wet/dry vacuum, mop, or towels to remove as much water as possible. You may need to use a pump to remove large amounts of water.
- Dry the affected area: Use fans and dehumidifiers to dry out the area. This will help prevent mold growth and further damage to your home.
- Call a professional: Contact a professional water damage restoration company to assess the damage and provide assistance with cleanup and repairs.
- Contact your insurance company: Notify your insurance company of the incident and provide them with any documentation or information they may need to process your claim.
Remember, safety should be your top priority. If the water damage is severe, or if you are unsure of what to do, call PRESTO WATER DAMAGE professional and get help immediately.
