Could the dishwasher cause the wet kitchen floor?
A dishwasher or supply hose can also leak, so the location of a puddle does not establish a slab source. A plumber identifies the cause. The restoration crew handles the water damage from the confirmed loss.
Do cabinets have to be removed to dry the kitchen?
The answer depends on whether moisture is trapped beneath or behind them. A technician checks toe kicks and cabinet bases before deciding on access. Limited opening may be enough in some kitchens.
