How Dishwasher Leak Into Cabinets Cleanup Works in Tar Heel

1. Remove accessible water

3. Open trapped-water areas

4. Dry and verify

• 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.
