How Dishwasher Leak Into Cabinets Cleanup Works in Accokeek

1. Remove accessible water

   A pump or extraction tool removes the liquid that a towel cannot reach. The Accokeek crew starts with the wettest accessible areas.

• Leave wet plugs, outlets and appliance wiring alone; an electrician handles hazards.
• Remove dry contents from neighboring cupboards without pulling fixed panels apart.
• Keep cleaning chemicals away from standing water if they can be moved safely.
• Photograph swelling, stains and the position of water before cleanup.
