Appliance leaks come in two kinds. A burst washer supply hose sprays clean water at full pressure and floods a laundry room fast. A slow dishwasher, refrigerator or ice-maker leak drips for weeks under the cabinets and the floor, and shows up as a soft spot, a swollen toe kick or a stain in the ceiling below.
Common appliance leaks in local homes
- Washer hoses: rubber supply hoses crack with age; a laundry room on the main or second floor sends water to the room below.
- Dishwashers: a loose drain fitting or a failed door seal soaks the subfloor under the cabinets.
- Refrigerators and ice makers: a cracked plastic supply tube behind the fridge leaks into the floor and the basement ceiling.
- Washer drain water: an overflowing standpipe or a pump failure releases gray Category 2 water.
How appliance leak water damage is dried
The tech who does the walkthrough checks under the appliance, behind the toe kicks and on the ceiling below with meters and thermal imaging. The extraction crew pulls standing water. Toe kicks are removed so air can reach under the cabinets, and holes may be drilled in the cabinet base to dry the cavity. Wet laminate, vinyl plank and pad usually come up; hardwood gets a mat system, covered on hardwood floor water damage.
A leak that came through to a lower ceiling is handled like ceiling leak water damage.
Appliance leaks and the insurance claim
A sudden hose burst is usually treated as sudden and accidental; a slow leak that went on for weeks often is not. Keep the failed hose or tube, and photograph the appliance, the valve and the floor before anything is removed. Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.

Appliance and Supply Hose Leaks questions
Short, plain answers on appliance and supply hose leaks, from the first call to the last moisture reading.
Ask dispatch what happens nextDo kitchen cabinets have to be replaced after a leak?
Often not, when drying starts early. Toe kicks come off and air is pushed under the cabinets. Particleboard bases that swelled usually need replacing.
Is washer water clean?
Water from a burst supply hose is clean Category 1. Drain water from the washer tub is gray Category 2 and is handled more carefully.
Why is my floor soft near the dishwasher?
A slow leak has likely soaked the subfloor for a while. The floor is checked with a meter, and soft or delaminated subfloor is replaced after drying.
How often should washer hoses be replaced?
Many manufacturers suggest about every five years. Braided stainless hoses and a leak sensor on the floor cut the risk.
Does insurance cover appliance leaks?
A sudden burst is often covered, while a slow leak over weeks often is not. Check with your own insurer.
How long does drying take?
Usually three to five days. Water under cabinets, in hardwood or in a ceiling below can take longer.
Appliance leak? Dry it before the cabinets swell.
Water under cabinets and flooring stays hidden while it soaks the subfloor. The drying team finds it and dries it, 24/7.
