Don't let your home become infested with mold, act now!

How often do you move your dishwasher out to inspect behind it for possible water damage? Not to often, right. This photo illustrates what could be larking behind your appliances that had a small leak for a period of time. For most cases when a dishwasher begins to have a leak it will be a slow drip beneath or behind the unit causing the floor to become saturate, rotting or mold to develop. 

What to do when you discover a leak in your dishwasher that caused possible water damage? 

• Turn off the source of the water
• Turn off the power to the dishwasher
• Contact a plumber 
• Contact your insurance office to assess information about filing a claim or coverage.
