How Dishwasher Leak Spreads Through a Home
A dishwasher can leak from its fill, drain, seal, or connection during a cycle. Water stays hidden under the machine and kitchen cabinets before showing at floor edges. The visible puddle may show only part of the wet area because cabinet bases, kitchen subfloor, hardwood, and downstairs ceiling board hold hidden moisture.
