When you have a water damage emergency in New Haven, fast emergency response is crucial to minimizing the potential for more extensive and labor-intensive repairs. Dishwashers can cause flooding when the door seal leaks. If you notice steam coming out of the front of your dishwasher, you have a leaking door seal that requires replacement. Our local Northeast Macomb Township team offers these tips for things you can and should not do while waiting for help to arrive:
