Washing machines, dishwashers, refrigerators and icemakers, and water heaters are some of the most common sources of water damage we see — and often some of the least obvious, since a slow supply-line leak or a failing seal can go unnoticed for a while before the damage becomes visible.
Supply-line failures, hose disconnections, and overflow incidents can put a significant amount of water onto flooring in a short time, and often behind or under the machine where it isn’t immediately visible.
Dishwasher leaks frequently show up first as damage to the cabinet or flooring directly beneath or beside the unit, since water tends to leak downward and pool against cabinetry before it’s noticed.
Icemaker supply lines are a common, slow-leak source of hidden water damage — a small drip behind or under a refrigerator can go on for weeks before flooring or cabinetry shows visible signs.
A failed water heater can release its full tank at once, which is a significant amount of water for a confined space like a closet or garage. Where a water heater failure also involves the water heater’s own plumbing connections, we coordinate with plumbing as needed.
Because appliance leaks are often slow and partially hidden, moisture can spread into subfloor and cabinetry before the leak is caught. We use moisture-detection equipment to check the full extent of the damage — not just the visibly wet area — before beginning extraction and structural drying.
We document the damage and our work to support your insurance claim — see our insurance assistance guidance for more on what’s commonly documented for a claim.
Shut off the water supply to the machine if it's safe to do so, then call us. We'll check for hidden moisture in the surrounding flooring before beginning extraction.
Slow leaks from icemakers, dishwashers, and washing machine supply lines can spread moisture into subfloor and cabinetry before it's visible. Moisture-detection equipment is the reliable way to check — visual inspection alone can miss it.
We handle the water damage — extraction, drying, and repair of affected building materials. For plumbing connections tied to the appliance, we coordinate with our plumbing service as part of the same job.
