water leak from dishwasher

[Kris]

I just bought a new Champion home a week ago and I ran the dishwasher while at home and didn't notice any problems. Subsequenlty i was gone for four days and came back to find water under my kitchen cabinets, dishwasher, stove and all the way to dining room carpet. There was standing water under dishwasher and stove. They said they fixed it, but what should I worry about in terms of the floor and the wet cabinets and wet carpet? Should I worry about mold and the integrity of the floor and wall? I also saw water all the way back to the drywall. should I worry about water getting on the drywall and possibly under the floor? I am still under warranty

If you have particleboard floors or cabinets
they have a tendency to absorb water.However if this was caught quickly and the excess water was cleaned up you should be OK.Look at the bottom of your cabinets where the water was and see if they are swollen.If they are the damage is done and the only way to repair them is to replace them.
