Appliance leaks are among the most common indoor water losses in newer homes. A rubber washer hose bursts under pressure, a dishwasher drain or supply fitting loosens, a refrigerator ice maker tube pinholes behind the fridge, or a braided toilet or faucet supply splits. Because the water runs behind and under cabinets and appliances, it often spreads for days before anyone sees it.

Appliance and Supply Line Leaks questions in Moorpark, CA
Which appliance leaks cause the most damage?
Washer supply hoses, because they are under constant pressure and can release a large amount of water before anyone notices. Ice maker lines and dishwasher fittings cause slower leaks that spread under cabinets.
Do the kitchen cabinets have to be replaced?
Usually not. Toe kicks come off and the cavity under the cabinets is dried with forced air. Cabinets come out only when they swell, delaminate or sat in gray water.
Is dishwasher water dirty water?
Dishwasher and washer discharge is gray, Category 2 water with soap and food residue. Pad usually comes out and surfaces get an antimicrobial before drying.
How long does an appliance leak take to dry?
Usually two to five days. Leaks caught quickly on hard floors dry fastest; leaks that ran for days under cabinets or laminate take longer.
Will insurance cover a burst washer hose?
Sudden hose bursts are often covered, while slow leaks and worn parts are usually treated differently. Check your own policy with your insurer.
Water under the cabinets or behind the washer? Get it dried properly.
Leaks behind appliances spread under cabinets and flooring where air cannot reach. The mitigation team opens the cavities and dries them.
