Where appliance water goes
- Under the appliance and along the floor toward a drain.
- Into cabinet bases and behind toe kicks.
- Through the subfloor to the room below.
- Into the wall behind a washer box.
The machine is pulled out so the floor beneath it can be checked, and the supply valve is closed before any cleaning or drying begins.
Drying under cabinets
Cabinet bases and kitchen floors hold water longer than they look. Small holes are drilled or toe kicks removed so air can reach the wet cavity, which is why the under cabinets card sits above the one room card in cost.
When the leak travels
If water reaches a lower floor, the job grows to include water extraction for the floor and structural drying for the ceiling and walls. A heater failure follows the steps in water heater leak cleanup.
