Shut off
The appliance supply is closed.
Extract
Water is lifted from floors and cabinets.
Open
Toe kicks and baseboards come off.
Dry
Mats and meters confirm dry floors.
Appliances sit on top of the floor system, so a leak runs under cabinets and flooring before it shows. In condominiums and two-family buildings it can pass to the units below, which turns a kitchen or laundry leak into a multi-household loss.
Where appliance water hides
Water from a washer hose or dishwasher supply runs under the machine, into the cabinet base and below the flooring layers. Laminate and engineered wood swell at the seams, and the subfloor can hold moisture long after the surface looks dry.

Appliance and Supply Hose Leaks questions, answered
Which appliances leak most often?
Washing machines, dishwashers, refrigerator ice makers and water heaters. Hoses and fittings fail more often than the machines themselves.
Can a slow appliance leak cause real damage?
Yes. A slow leak can soak subfloor and cabinets for weeks and swell flooring, and it often goes unnoticed until the damage is advanced.
Does insurance cover a washing machine hose leak?
Sudden hose failure is commonly covered, while slow leaks over time often are not. The policy language and the cause decide.
What about the unit below?
The crew checks ceilings and walls below, documents each unit separately and keeps records that the owners and insurers can use.
Can hardwood floors be saved after an appliance leak?
Sometimes. Drying mats can pull moisture out of boards, but cupped or buckled boards may need replacing once they stop moving.
