Where appliance water hides
Water from a kitchen or laundry leak runs under flooring, into cabinet bases and down through subfloors. Raytown households average 2.3 people, and homes and townhomes alike clean up appliance leaks the same way: extract, then dry.
Dishwasher and washer water is gray water, with soap and food residue, so soaked porous materials are usually removed.
- Water extracted from floors
- Cabinet bases checked and dried
- Subfloor moisture measured
- Ceiling below inspected
Why a slow leak is costly
A slow leak softens subfloors and swells cabinet bases before anyone notices, and the longer it runs the more material has to come out. Early action keeps the repair small.
Refrigerator ice maker tubes and washer hoses are frequent culprits, and both can leak behind the unit where nobody looks.
After drying
Readings confirm the subfloor and cabinet bases are dry before replacement begins. The owner receives photos and a list of removed materials for the claim. A leak that reached the ceiling below is also covered under ceiling leak water damage.
