The city says the most common reasons for high water use are leaky toilets, faucets and garden hoses. Appliance supply hoses and drain connections cause the same kind of slow loss, hidden behind machines and under cabinets.
A simple test for a slow leak
Stop all water use for at least a half hour, as the city advises, and then check whether the water meter dial has moved. If it has, a hidden leak is running somewhere, and moisture readings narrow down where.
Where appliance water hides
- Beneath dishwasher and sink cabinets
- Behind washing machines and their hoses
- Under refrigerator ice maker supply tubing
- Inside the subfloor beneath vinyl or tile
Slow leaks can swell cabinet bases and loosen flooring long before a puddle appears.
Drying cabinets and floors
Toe kicks are removed, cavities are opened and air is moved through them. A burst pipe behaves the same way, and the wider set of local water damage services shows related losses.

Appliance and Washer Hose Leaks questions in Everett, MA
Water still coming through?
Appliance leaking? Say which machine and which room, and when the water was found.
Phone about the applianceWho is responsible for the leaking appliance?
The owner of the appliance arranges the repair or replacement. The drying team handles the water damage, and the records help whichever insurer is involved.
Can a slow leak be detected without opening anything?
Often yes. Moisture meters and thermal images read through cabinet faces and flooring, so the opening is limited to places that are actually wet.
Should the washer be moved before the crew arrives?
Only if the floor is dry and the hose is shut off. Pulling a machine through standing water risks a shock and can tear the hose further.
Does a leaky toilet count as an appliance leak?
It is a fixture leak with the same cleanup, because the water soaks the floor and subfloor around the base. The city counts leaky toilets among the common causes of high water use.
Do vinyl and tile floors hide water?
Yes. Water travels under the surface material and sits in the subfloor, so meters check there before the floor is judged dry.
Slow leaks do the most hidden damage
Shut the supply valve, unplug the machine if the floor is dry and tell the response team which cabinets and floors are wet.
