Appliance leaks are quiet. A cracked supply hose or a loose drain connection can drip behind a washer or under a dishwasher for days, and the damage is usually found by a soft floor or a stain on the ceiling below.
Owners and renters both deal with these leaks
Renters make up about 24.5 percent of occupied housing in the city, with owners making up the rest at about 75.5 percent, so these leaks land on tenants and owners alike. Renters should report a leak to the landlord right away, while owners can start the cleanup and their claim directly.
What the crew does
- Finds and stops the source at the valve or hose
- Extracts water from floors and under cabinet bases
- Checks walls, subfloors and the ceiling below
- Dries with air movers and dehumidifiers
Cabinet toe kicks and appliance alcoves trap water, so they are opened when readings show moisture. Flooring under the appliance is lifted when the water has gone beneath it, and the dry-out follows structural drying.
Leaks on upper floors
A washer on an upper level or a dishwasher over a finished basement can send water through the floor to the room below. When that happens the job follows the same path as burst pipe water damage, with a ceiling check below.
