Dishwasher Leak Water Damage in Plymouth

A dishwasher leak is sneaky. It often seeps slowly under the units and into the floor, doing damage for weeks before anyone spots it.

The slow leak that hides

Unlike a burst hose, a dishwasher often leaks slowly from a worn seal or connection, with the water running straight under the unit and into the floor. By the time the kickboard swells or the smell starts, the floor beneath has been wet for a while.

What we do

Slow leaks grow mould

Because a dishwasher leak is often slow and hidden, mould has usually started by the time it is found. We dry the area and treat any mould as part of the job.

Frequently asked questions

Why did I not notice the dishwasher leak?

Is the water contaminated?

It is grey water, carrying detergent and some contamination, so we clean and sanitise as well as dry.

Will there be mould?

Often, because the leak has been slow and hidden. We check for it and treat it as part of drying the area.
