Dishwasher Leak Cleanup in Portland, Oregon
Kitchen flooring, cabinet bases and subfloor dried after a leaking dishwasher.
Dishwasher leaks run backward under cabinets and flooring rather than into the room, so damage is usually well established by the time a floorboard swells or the toe kick darkens.
We remove the unit, dry the cavity beneath it, and dry cabinet bases and adjoining flooring so cabinetry can be saved instead of replaced.

Dishwasher Leak Cleanup: common questions
Why does a dishwasher leak damage floors so badly?
The leak usually happens underneath the unit, out of sight, so water spreads under cabinets and flooring for days before anyone notices. Laminate and wood subfloor absorb it quickly.
Do cabinets have to be removed after a dishwasher leak?
Not always. Toe-kicks can often be removed and dry air forced underneath. Cabinets made of particleboard that swelled usually can't be saved.
