Homes and rentals alike
Of the community's housing, 4,697 are single family homes and about 1,853 occupied homes are rented. A leaking appliance affects owners and renters alike, and a renter should tell the landlord right away so the claim can start.
What gets wet
Water follows the floor, then climbs into cabinet kicks, baseboards and the wall behind the machine. Laminate and particle board swell fast, and hardwood cups. Moisture meters map the affected area, including spots under the dishwasher and behind the refrigerator that nobody can see.
How the drying goes
Water is extracted, appliances are moved aside, and cabinet bases and wall bottoms are opened as needed. Air movers and dehumidifiers run until readings match dry areas, and the owner gets a written record for the claim. A leaking tank is covered in water heater leak cleanup.

Sudden appliance leaks are commonly covered for the resulting water damage, while gradual leaks may not be. The carrier decides, so keep photos and the readings.
