Appliance leaks come from the hoses and valves that feed washers, dishwashers, refrigerator ice makers and toilets, and from appliance drains. A rubber washer hose can split under pressure, a dishwasher can leak slowly under the cabinets for weeks, and a refrigerator water tube can crack behind the unit. Main-floor leaks drain down to the basement ceiling, so the damage often spans two levels.

- Toilet supply hoses and fill valves
Cabinets, floors and the level below
Water under cabinets is easy to miss. The crew pulls the toe kicks, checks the cabinet bases and the subfloor with meters, then dries the cavity with directed air. Laminate and vinyl plank over a wet subfloor usually come up; hardwood caught early may dry with drying mats. The basement ceiling under the kitchen or laundry is checked and dried too.
Washer leaks and gray water
A washer drain or overflow is gray water, Category 2, so the pad comes out and surfaces get an antimicrobial. Braided stainless hoses and a leak alarm under the washer reduce the risk. EPA WaterSense explains how to check for household leaks, and the EPA indoor air quality pages cover why damp floors and cabinets need full drying. Water that reaches the room below is covered on the ceiling leak page.
