How Dishwasher Leak Under Floor Cleanup Works in Ridge

1. Extract the accessible water

   The Ridge crew removes pooled water from the kitchen floor. A technician also checks the edge where liquid may have entered nearby rooms.

• Stop the dishwasher cycle and leave the appliance off.
• Use a known shutoff only when the route and valve are dry and safe.
• Keep people away from wet outlets and exposed appliance wiring.
• Move small dry items clear of the affected floor without crossing a soft area.
• Photograph visible water and note when the leak became apparent.
