Water Damage - Bedford, Texas

A home in Bedford, Texas had a dishwasher that overflowed and flooded the kitchen. Hand soap was accidentally used instead of detergent and the simple mistake caused a huge mess. We were called in to clean up the damage. We first extracted the water and then we used our advanced drying equipment to dry the floor to prevent any further damage or mold growth. Due to the extensive damage at the base of the kitchen island, it had to be replaced. The following list shows how to handle an overflowing dishwasher:

• Cancel the cycle so the dishwasher drains the water. Place towels on the floor under the machine to catch the water and suds that are still spilling out. Then remove all the dishes and put them in the sink.

• Slide out the bottom rack and liberally pour table salt on top of the suds to break down the foam. Run a quick rinse-only cycle and check for remaining suds.

• If there are still tons of suds pouring out of the dishwasher, add more salt and repeat the rinse cycle until the foam stops coming out of the machine.

• Once the foam starts to dissipate, toss a tray or so of ice cubes onto the remaining suds and allow them to melt. Push the cancel button to drain the melted ice. Run another quick rinse cycle, and repeat the ice cube-rinse sequence until all the suds are gone.
