How fast should you respond to a dishwasher leak?

Dishwasher leaks can be extremely destructive.

Dishwashers are hooked up to multiple plumbing connections including waste and drain pipes, and a pressurized supply line that provides hot water to wash dishes. If any of these connections becomes compromised, the damage can be significant. Most dishwasher leaks occur when the supply line becomes brittle and cracks, causing hot water to rapidly blast into the adjoining cabinetry.

Just a few minutes of water spraying like this can cause thousands of dollars in damage and could potentially create a significant mold hazard. Even after the water stops flowing, it is vital to have a trained professional like the technicians at SERVPRO of La Jolla examine the area and begin remediation work right away. In addition to being a good idea, homeowner's insurance companies typically will require their owners to start mitigating the damage as soon as it is discovered.
