Where appliance water hides
Kitchens and laundry rooms hold the most water-using machines. Leaks run under cabinets and across vinyl or laminate floors, and they sit between the flooring and the subfloor where it cannot dry by itself.
- Dishwasher supply and drain hoses.
- Washer hoses and drain standpipes.
- Refrigerator ice maker supply tubes.
What the restoration crew does
The crew pulls the appliance clear if it is safe, extracts the floor and uses meters to find water under cabinet bases and floating floors. Small openings let air movers push dry air into the hidden space, and drying continues until readings match dry.
- Toe kicks removed to dry cabinet bases.
- Floating floors lifted when trapped water is found.
- Subfloor checked for hidden moisture.
- Daily readings logged.
When it is more than one leak
Supply failures that spread to several rooms are described under burst pipe water damage, and water that reached the wall base is dried as in structural drying. Early drying keeps cabinets and flooring from swelling. A repair technician fixes the appliance itself.
