Appliance leaks start small and are easy to miss, but they soak cabinets, flooring and the subfloor beneath. Apartments and multifamily buildings in places like Bagley Downs mean a leaking washer or dishwasher can reach neighbors below. The main appliance leak service describes the method in detail.
Where appliance water hides
Water runs behind a dishwasher, beneath a refrigerator and under vinyl flooring, then into the floor assembly. Cabinet bases wick it up and swell.
A leaking appliance can soak the floor below, so dry it soon.
What gets done
- Moisture mapping under and around the appliance
- Removal of ruined flooring and cabinet kick plates
- Drying equipment on floors and walls
- Checks of the ceiling and unit below
After the leak is fixed
An appliance technician or plumber repairs the hose or seal, and the drying crew handles the water. Where the leak reached a ceiling, the ceiling leak work covers the room beneath.
Hoses worth checking
Rubber supply hoses behind washers and dishwashers bulge, crack and weep as they age. Looking behind these appliances a few times a year can catch a small drip before it becomes a soaked floor. Shutting off the washer valves between loads is another simple habit.
