- Stop the dishwasher and close an accessible supply valve if the area is safe.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
About 79% of homes in the covered Peru ZIP areas were built before 1980. Cabinet renovations and flooring layers still vary from house to house. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Peru was built in the 1950s. Multiple renovations may have left layered flooring beneath the appliance. In Peru, those layers can trap water, so the technician checks below the visible finish.
Frozen household plumbing may release water beside an appliance when it warms. A plumber handles the pipe; the Peru crew extracts the resulting spill.
