I'm not clear on what happened. You installed floor tile and at some point the dishwasher was damaged, possibly while reinstalling it? Is that it?

As to the leakage, did it occur before you tried to power it up or after?

If before, then the leakage may not be serious, it may just be spillage rather than leakage. Are you certain you are even getting power. You plugged it back in, checked the breaker etc?

If the leakage is the result of damage, I'd inspect the pump housing for cracks and also check all the hoses for proper connections. If the leakage is continuing,then I'd check the water inlet vavle for damage as well.
