Signs to look for

When to call us for appliance leak cleanup

As hidden moisture is traced, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.

You know something leaked, but not which machine

To protect nearby materials, two or three machines share a wall or a cabinet run, and the water shows up between them.

Water only shows up during a cycle

From the first damage clue, dry floor in the morning, wet floor after the machine runs.

The drip pan under a machine holds standing water

As hidden moisture is traced, a drip pan is a warning device, not a fix.

A supply hose feels stiff, bulged or damp at the crimp

As hidden moisture is traced, rubber hardens with age and the crimped ends are where pressure concentrates.

An appliance shutoff valve is corroded, weeping or stuck

To protect nearby materials, white or green crust at the valve body means it has been seeping.

The floor dips or flexes where a machine sits

From the first damage clue, machines are heavy and they never move.

What happens

How we handle appliance leak cleanup

Our moisture-tracing team adjusts the work to what got wet, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.

Naming the failed appliance and the failed part

From the first damage clue, supply hose, inlet valve, drain hose, pump, door seal or drip pan overflow.

The same age audit on every other water connection

During the watchful inspection, while we are there we look at the rest.

A moisture map that ignores which machine it was

To protect nearby materials, water does not care about the brand on the front.

Extraction from behind and under machines that do not move

From the first damage clue, most appliance water sits in the gap you cannot reach.

Cabinet and toe kick void drying

To protect nearby materials, where the machine sits inside a cabinet run, the water is under the boxes.

Supply water versus drain water handling

As hidden moisture is traced, clean supply water is dried.

To protect nearby materials, we come back and meter the same marked points daily.
Day 2 to 4

Understanding the cost

What can affect the price

As hidden moisture is traced, we explain the recommended work and price before you approve the job. As hidden moisture is traced, these examples show what may change the estimate.

Common situation	What the estimate may include	Typical range
Single appliance failure caught while it was happening, one room	During the watchful inspection, national estimate. As hidden moisture is traced, extraction, void drying and a few equipment days on clean supply water.	$500 to $1,500
Appliance failure that ran through a cycle or overnight, room plus adjacent flooring	During the watchful inspection, national estimate. During the watchful inspection, typical when cabinetry and a flooring assembly are both in the wet boundary.	$1,500 to $5,000
Appliance leak from an upper floor into the level below	During the watchful inspection, national estimate. From the first damage clue, two rooms, ceiling work and a longer drying schedule.	$2,500 to $8,000
Appliance leak cleanup priced by affected area, clean water	From the first damage clue, national estimate for measured affected area, the way most estimates are actually built.	$3 to $7 per square foot
Cleaning and deodorizing after appliance drain water	National estimate. Added to the drying recovery plan when the water came off the drain side.	$200 to $800
Appliance bay and cabinet toe kick void drying, one cabinet run	During the watchful inspection, national estimate for opening and drying the void under a fixed cabinet run.	$400 to $1,000
After hours dispatch on its own	National estimate for the after hours call out on its own, separate from the cleanup recovery plan.	$100 to $400

Which appliance failed and how much water it moved
As hidden moisture is traced, a refrigerator line weeps a few gallons a day. From the first damage clue, a supply hose at full pressure moves several gallons a minute.
Supply water or drain water
To protect nearby materials, clean supply water is a drying job.
How long it ran before anyone noticed
As hidden moisture is traced, hours is a room. As hidden moisture is traced, weeks is a room plus materials.
Whether the machine sits in a cabinet run
From the first damage clue, a freestanding washer in an open room is straightforward.
Flooring type and whether it comes up
Sheet vinyl and glued planks trap water against the deck. Whether we can dry through the assembly or have to lift it changes the recovery plan substantially.
Whether a floor below is involved
During the watchful inspection, once the ceiling under the appliance is wet, you have two rooms, two ceilings of readings and usually a second set of equipment.

Why timing matters

What can happen when the area stays wet

To protect nearby materials, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

The next appliance is the same age as this one

From the first damage clue, homes get their machines in batches.

The machine goes back onto a floor that is still wet

As hidden moisture is traced, a new appliance delivered onto a wet deck traps the moisture under a hundred pounds of steel.

Drain water needs cleaning, not only drying

To protect nearby materials, water that came out of a drain hose carries food, detergent and body soil.

Mold can start within 24 to 48 hours behind a machine

As hidden moisture is traced, the gap behind an appliance is dark, still and warm.

Helpful service information

What to know about appliance leak cleanup

During the watchful inspection, start with the short explanation. To protect nearby materials, open a card if you want a little more detail.

What is happening inside the property

As hidden moisture is traced, the gap behind a washer, the void under a dishwasher and the cavity beneath a cabinet toe kick all hold water by water wicking.

Read the explanation

To protect nearby materials, appliance water usually ends up somewhere you cannot reach with a towel. As hidden moisture is traced, the gap behind a washer, the void under a dishwasher and the cavity beneath a cabinet toe kick all hold water by water wicking.

How the next step is decided

As hidden moisture is traced, plywood cabinet boxes and solid wood face frames usually dry in place.

Read the explanation

To protect nearby materials, salvageability on an appliance loss follows the material, not the story. As hidden moisture is traced, plywood cabinet boxes and solid wood face frames usually dry in place.

What may change the work

As hidden moisture is traced, rubber cores harden with age and with chlorinated water, and the crimped ferrule at each end is where pressure concentrates.

Common questions

Questions about appliance leak cleanup

Which household appliances cause the most water damage?

From the first damage clue, washing machines, dishwashers, water heaters and refrigerator ice maker lines account for most of the calls we take.

Do you repair the appliance too?

From the first damage clue, no. During the watchful inspection, we handle the water damage and coordinate with whoever repairs or replaces the machine.

During the watchful inspection, one hose failed. Should I replace all of them?

To protect nearby materials, usually yes. During the watchful inspection, appliance hoses in a home are almost always the same age and the same material.

From the first damage clue, my water heater is leaking. What do I shut off first?

From the first damage clue, shut the heater down before you touch the water. To protect nearby materials, on a gas unit, turn the gas control knob to pilot or off.

Can I run the machine while the floor dries?

During the watchful inspection, not until the failed part is replaced and we have read the floor underneath.

Can I clean up an appliance leak myself?

During the watchful inspection, you can handle a small surface spill on hard flooring. During the watchful inspection, once standing water is about an inch deep, or it has reached a cabinet run or a carpet, a shop vacuum will not reach the water that matters.

Will my cabinets survive an appliance leak?

During the watchful inspection, plywood cabinet boxes often dry in place once we open the toe kick and get air into the void.
