How appliance and supply line leaks is handled, step by step
Stop
Supply closed at the appliance or the main.
Extract
Water pulled from floors and cabinet bases.
Open
Toe kicks and wet flooring removed where needed.
Dry and verify
Readings on the subfloor and ceiling below.
Appliance leaks are fast and sneaky. A burst washer hose runs at full pressure until someone closes a valve, while a dishwasher or ice maker line can drip under the cabinets for weeks. In older Kearny kitchens, water gets under layered flooring and into the subfloor before anyone sees it.
Common appliance and supply failures
Most failures are hoses and fittings, not the appliance itself.
- Rubber washer hoses that burst with age
- Dishwasher supply and drain connections under the sink
- Refrigerator ice maker lines behind the fridge
- Toilet supply lines and fill valves
Cabinets, toe kicks and layered floors
Water runs under base cabinets and between layers of old and new flooring. The mitigation team removes toe kicks, drills small holes where needed and dries the cabinet bases with air and dehumidifiers. Wet laminate and layered vinyl usually come up so the subfloor can dry.
Water still moving? Close the shutoff if it is safe, keep clear of wet outlets, then call.
Call (888) 471-9821Drying and checking the floor below
Readings are taken on the subfloor and on the ceiling below the kitchen or laundry. When a basement water heater failed instead, see water heater leak cleanup, and for water that reached the ceiling below, see ceiling leak water damage.

Rubber hoses wear out with age. Many owners replace them with braided steel hoses every few years.
Is dishwasher water clean?
Supply water is clean, but drain water from a dishwasher or washer is gray water, which means pad comes out and surfaces are treated.
Do the kitchen cabinets have to come out?
Usually not. Toe kicks come off and the cabinet bases are dried in place, unless particleboard has swollen.
Why is the ceiling below wet?
Water runs through the floor system from a kitchen or laundry upstairs. Readings show how far it went.
Is an appliance leak covered by insurance?
Sudden leaks are often covered, while slow leaks over time usually are not. Check your own policy.
How long does drying take?
Most appliance leaks dry in two to five days.
