Where the water hides
Water from a slow leak travels under vinyl, behind toe kicks and into the subfloor, so what looks like a small wet patch is often larger. Meters and a thermal camera map the real size before anything is lifted.
- Washer hoses and drain connections.
- Dishwasher fittings and door seals.
- Refrigerator water pipes and ice makers.
Drying cabinets and floors
Toe kicks are removed to let air reach the space under cabinets, and flooring is lifted only where it traps water. Air movers and dehumidifiers dry the subfloor, with readings each day until the area is dry.
- Cabinet bases dried in place when possible.
- Floating floors pulled up only over trapped water.
- Ceiling below checked for stains.

Why do appliance leaks go unnoticed?
They are slow and hidden under cabinets, behind panels and beneath flooring. A soft floor or musty smell is often the first sign.
Can cabinets be saved?
Often, if the toe kick area is opened and dried quickly. Solid wood and swollen particleboard are checked and replaced where needed.
Will the flooring need replacing?
Floating floors may be lifted where water is trapped, while solid flooring can sometimes be dried in place.
Who repairs the appliance?
A plumber or appliance technician. The crew handles water removal and drying, and works alongside the repair trade.
Will insurance pay for an appliance leak?
Sudden leaks are often covered, but slow leaks may not be. Policies differ, so ask your own insurer.
