Appliance leaks often come from supply hoses, drain connections and ice maker tubes, and they seep behind or beneath the machine long before a stain shows. A homeowner in Rosemount or anywhere else can slow the damage by closing the nearest shutoff.
Common leak points
- Washer supply hoses behind the machine
- Dishwasher inlet and drain connections
- Refrigerator ice maker supply tubes
- Utility sink fittings in the laundry area
Cabinets are the usual trap: water collects under the base, wicks into toe kicks and stays hidden until the particleboard swells. Metering the cabinet base tells whether it can be dried or has to come out.
Floors under and around the machine
Water often travels under flooring, so a leak at a washer can wet the subfloor well past the machine. Hard flooring is lifted at an edge to check the layers beneath, and the subfloor is dried with a mat system when lifting everything is not needed. Carpet pad that has absorbed the water is usually replaced.
