Appliance leaks are often small and steady, which makes them easy to miss until a floor buckles or a stain shows up in the ceiling below. In older houses with stacked units, a washer or dishwasher on an upper floor sends water through the subfloor and into the kitchen ceiling underneath. Supply hoses age and burst, and dishwasher and fridge connections loosen over time.
Clean or gray water
A refrigerator line or toilet supply leaks clean water. A washer drain hose or dishwasher drain leak is gray water, which carries soap, food and soil, so soaked pad and some porous materials are removed and surfaces are cleaned before drying.
