Appliance leaks are some of the most common water losses in any home. Rubber washer hoses crack with age, dishwasher supply lines loosen, ice maker tubes split behind the refrigerator and toilet supply lines fail at the nut. A leak that starts while the household is out, or away on a trip, can run for hours across tile and under cabinets.
Water hides under the cabinets
Kitchen cabinets sit on the floor, so water slips under them and into the wall behind. The crew removes the toe kicks, not the cabinets, and dries the space beneath with air movers and directed airflow. Meters check the cabinet backs and the drywall behind them before anything is replaced.
Clean water or gray water
A supply hose leak is Category 1 clean water. A washer drain or dishwasher drain leak is Category 2, because it carries detergent and food. Gray water gets extra caution with pad and porous items. Both are extracted fast and dried to a dry reading.
Cheap fixes that prevent the next one
Braided steel hoses, leak sensors and shutoff valves within reach make a big difference. The EPA WaterSense Fix a Leak page shows quick checks, and the Consumer Product Safety Commission lists appliance recalls.

Appliance and Supply Hose Leaks questions in Sun City Center, FL
Do kitchen cabinets have to come out after an appliance leak?
Usually not. Removing the toe kicks lets air reach the floor beneath, and most cabinets dry in place. Cabinets with swollen particleboard may need replacing.
Is washing machine water clean?
Water from a supply hose is clean. Water from the drain hose or the tub carries detergent and soil and is treated as Category 2 gray water.
How long does appliance leak drying take?
Most appliance leaks dry in three to five days. Water under cabinets or laminate flooring can take a little longer, and readings decide when equipment comes out.
How can I prevent appliance leaks?
Replace rubber hoses with braided steel, add leak sensors near the washer and dishwasher, and keep the supply valves easy to reach and in working order.
Does insurance cover appliance leak water damage?
Sudden water damage from a failed hose or line is often covered, while the appliance repair usually is not. Check your own policy with your insurer.
