Appliance leaks tend to go unnoticed. A washing machine hose, a dishwasher supply or a refrigerator icemaker hose seeps behind the unit, under cabinets and into the subfloor, so the first sign is often a soft spot in the floor, a stain on a wall or a swollen cabinet door. By then the water may have been moving for days, which is why a moisture check matters even for small leaks.
Who is responsible
The city says a homeowner's plumbing responsibility begins right after the meter and continues through the entire home. That includes supply hoses and appliance connections, so knowing the shut-off valve helps limit damage. Many appliances also have their own small valve behind or beside the unit, and closing it stops the flow right away.

Appliance and Supply Hose Leaks questions in Gresham, WA
Short answers about appliance and supply hose leaks, from the first hour to the last reading.
How can a hidden appliance leak be found?
Warped flooring, a musty smell, a soft cabinet base or a higher water bill are common signs. Meters and imaging confirm exactly where the water has gone.
Is it safe to keep using the cabinet space?
Not until it is dry. Damp cabinet bases swell and break down, so items should be moved out while readings are checked, and stored somewhere dry.
Does the appliance need to be replaced?
Often only the hose or fitting needs replacing. A plumber or technician decides, while the restoration team handles the water and the drying.
How quickly should an appliance leak be dried?
As soon as the supply is off. Cabinet bases and subfloors absorb water steadily, and drying early keeps repairs limited to small sections.
Will insurance pay for a hose that failed?
Many policies cover sudden hose failures but not slow, long-term leaks. Photos, invoices and readings help the claim.
