How appliance leak water damage is handled, step by step
The walkthrough starts with a moisture map, so the drying plan matches what is truly wet. Air movers and dehumidifiers stay until the meters read dry, not until the surface looks dry.

Water pulled off the floor and from under appliances.
Check hidden spots
Meters under cabinets, toe kicks and flooring.
Dry
Air movers, dehumidifiers and cavity drying.
Confirm
Readings until materials meet the dry goal.
Common appliance failures
Clean supply water from a hose is Category 1, while dishwasher and washer drain water is Category 2.
- Rubber washing machine hoses that burst with age.
- Dishwasher supply and drain connections under the sink.
- Plastic ice maker tubes behind the refrigerator.
- Washer drain hoses that slip out of the standpipe.
How the drying team handles cabinets and flooring
Water from an appliance runs under cabinets, behind toe kicks and under plank flooring. The tech who does the walkthrough checks those hidden spots with meters. The crew pulls toe kicks to dry the cabinet bases and lifts wet flooring only where water is trapped beneath it.
- Toe kicks removed to dry under cabinets.
- Drying mats or cavity drying where needed.
- Antimicrobial on surfaces touched by Category 2 water.
Preventing the next leak
Braided steel hoses, a shutoff valve within reach and a leak sensor under the sink all cut the risk. EPA WaterSense has tips on finding leaks, and the Consumer Product Safety Commission posts appliance recalls. Water heater failures are covered on the water heater leak cleanup page.
