Damaged Rubber Dishwasher Door Seal Floods Kitchen Floor in Franklin Home?

We respond to water damage emergencies 24 hours a day in Lane County.

Our local North Eugene and Northwest Lane County teams have been restoring water damage for Franklin residents for many years. In fact, we respond to more water damage emergencies than any other form of property damage loss. One of the most common reasons for appliance failures is a cracked or leaking door seal on your dishwasher. Dishwashers use large amounts of water so when the door seal is damaged, water can escape and cause significant flood  damage in a short period of time.

Inspecting Appliances for Signs of Seal Failure

• Check for cracks or worn surface areas in the door seal
• Run your hand over the seal to locate any areas of the seal that feel brittle
• Check for areas along the seal that are beginning to come loose
• Look for excess steam being emitted from the dishwasher while it is running

If you observe any of these signs, replace the door seal right away. It is an inexpensive part that can save you thousands of dollars by avoiding costly water damage repairs.
