What Dishwasher Overflow Cleanup Includes in Berkeley
Used wash water may require cleaning before materials dry. During dishwasher overflow cleanup, the Berkeley crew assesses the actual water condition.
An overflowing dishwasher can send water across the kitchen before anyone notices the cycle has failed. The puddle is only the visible part of the loss. Liquid may run beneath a refrigerator, through a doorway or into the bottom of a cabinet.
The appliance technician may need access behind the unit. A restoration worker evaluates wet surfaces there after electrical conditions are safe.

- Lift small dry items away from the spill using a safe route.
