☎ Dry the leakKitchen and laundry leaks
Water from a washer or dishwasher counts as gray, so wet carpet, pad and soft cabinet bases are removed or treated instead of simply dried. The toe kicks are pulled so the voids behind cabinets can be read, and a floor that looks dry on top is checked underneath with a meter.
Drying and records
After water extraction, air movers and a dehumidifier dry the floor, the cabinet voids and any wall behind the appliance. If water dropped through a ceiling, see ceiling leak water damage. Photos of the appliance, the source and the damage go to the adjuster with the readings.

Appliance and AC Condensate Leaks questions
Why does an AC leak water inside the house?
The unit pulls moisture from the air and sends it out a drain. When the drain clogs or the pan fills, the water spills into the closet, attic or ceiling.
Is dishwasher water considered dirty?
It is gray water, mildly contaminated, so soaked carpet and pad are removed and hard surfaces are cleaned and dried.
Do cabinets have to be removed?
Usually not. The toe kicks are pulled and the voids behind them are dried with air movers, and cabinets only come out when the bases are soaked through.
Will insurance pay for an appliance leak?
Sudden failures such as a burst hose are commonly covered for the water damage, but gradual leaks and the appliance repair often are not.
How long does a kitchen floor take to dry?
A few days is typical, with longer runs when the flooring is thick or the subfloor was soaked.
Can a washer leak affect the room below?
Yes. Water follows gaps in the floor and can reach a ceiling below, which is then opened and dried like any ceiling leak.
Find and dry the hidden water
Call with the appliance and the room it sits in, and the crew will plan the extraction, the opening of cabinet voids and the drying.
