Dishwasher Leak

So, every SINGLE day I vacuum.  I am constantly looking at the baseboards and noticed that in less than 24 hours that this baseboard had split.  I kept looking down the way and noticed they were all split on sink wall and then noticed the paint bubbling up.   I open the cabinet under the sink and I start moving stuff out and the smell hits me.  

Once I get everything out I see there is mold everywhere!  The dishwasher leaked and everything is wet!  













Justin took off the baseboards and got the fan blowing on the wall but noticed the mold so started taking out the sheet rock so we could see where all the mold was.  It was  pretty bad so he sprayed bleach all over it to try and kill it.  We called insurance out and they came and told us that they had to send the cabinet people out to see if we needed to get the cabinets replaced.  Thankfully only the four need to be replaced and the others are fine.  We just need new sheet rock and baseboards.  



So now we wait on insurance to get the cabinet guys out so get started.  

Did I mention that the dishwasher is sitting in the middle of my kitchen so the hole can dry out and mold will die.  This mean NO HOT WATER OR DISHWASHER!  Of course the dishwasher was full when this happened so guess who got to hand wash all these in cold water!
