Washer hoses, dishwasher connections and refrigerator water connections are small parts that carry steady pressure. When one fails, water runs across the floor and along the cabinet base, and in a stacked building it can travel down into the unit below.
Where appliance water hides
- Under vinyl, laminate and engineered flooring
- Inside the toe-kick and cabinet bases
- Behind a washer or dishwasher
- Under the carpet pad in an adjoining room
A slow leak can run for weeks, so readings are taken well past the visible wet spot. Tank failures fall under water heater leak cleanup.
Fresh leak or slow leak
A leak found right away often dries without removing much, because the water has not soaked deep. A slow leak is different: swollen cabinet bases, cupped flooring and a musty smell show that water has been there a while, and more material may need to come out.
Gray water from a dishwasher or washer drain
Drain water from a dishwasher or washer is Category 2, so carpet and pad that soaked it up are removed. See water extraction for how the water is pulled out.

Sometimes, by lifting a few boards or using drying mats, depending on the floor. Meters show whether it is still wet underneath.

It should stay off until the hose or fitting is fixed. The restoration team dries the damage, and a plumber or appliance technician fixes the cause.
