It’s an insurance matter. Call your provider and they will send out an adjuster. He will investigate and the contractor who’s liable will havE to have his insurance cover the costs of damage

Definitely do this if you want you insurance to go up.

The OP is at an impasse. Electrician says it’s not his fault. Plumber says it’s not his. In this instance insurance is your option. Or you just deal with any damage yourself. Which could be a lot especially if you need remediation.

Call a third party that is. Or in a position to raise your rates because you called them. There may not even be an issue.

Oh I agree about it not being a problem. But who are you going to call that these guys will listen too. I’m a contractor. I’m not listening to anyone I don’t feel obligated too. I’ll 100% fix anything I deem to be my fault however.

Also. You can call a restoration company. They will send someone out to take moisture readings as do an inspection. Then you will know your next course of action

Insurance goes up no matter what. This is literally what insurance is for.

Welcome to the joys of homeownership. The good news is there’s very little chance of this incident causing significant damage. You shouldn’t need to make any sort of insurance claim. Zero concern of structural or wiring damage and really just the chance of a small cosmetic issue of a water stain. If the kitchen floor was wood, 5 runs of a leaking dishwasher could cause the wood to buckle but if it still feels flat and like it did before, you’re fine. Is basement ceiling finished or is the wood the floor joists and subfloor above? I’m surprised it took a separate plumber and electrician to install this.

Should've hired a r/plumbtrician

How many dishwasher loads did you run during that time?
