Appliance leaks are some of the most common water losses in Union homes. A rubber washer hose bursts, a dishwasher inlet fitting cracks, a refrigerator ice maker tube splits or a toilet supply hose fails. Supply hoses stay under full pressure all day, so a failure can run until someone gets home.
Where appliance water hides
- Under kitchen cabinets and the toe kick, where it soaks particleboard bases.
- Under vinyl, laminate or hardwood flooring and into the subfloor.
- Through the floor into the basement ceiling below the kitchen or laundry.
- Behind the washer in a basement laundry area, into paneling and the slab.
How the dry-out works
The extraction crew removes standing water, and the walkthrough tech maps the subfloor and cabinets with meters. Toe kicks come off so air can reach under the cabinets; some cabinet bases are dried in place with injection drying. Laminate and vinyl may need to come up to dry the subfloor. Water from a dishwasher or washer drain is Category 2. If the water reached the floor below, see ceiling leak water damage.
Hoses worth replacing
Braided stainless hoses and periodic checks cut the risk. EPA WaterSense covers household leak checks, and the Consumer Product Safety Commission lists appliance recalls.

Can kitchen cabinets be dried in place?
Often. Toe kicks come off and air or injection drying reaches the cabinet bases. Swollen particleboard may need replacing.

Usually, if water got under it. Laminate traps water against the subfloor and swells at the seams.

Usually three to five days, longer under cabinets or hardwood.
