Appliances that leak most often
- Washing machine supply hoses and drain hoses.
- Dishwasher inlet and drain connections.
- Refrigerator and ice maker supply tubing.
- Sink traps and supply connectors under cabinets.
Replacing an old hose is cheap, and a failed one is not.
Finding water that cannot be seen
Meters read moisture through flooring, cabinet bases and drywall, and the team pulls toe kicks and baseboards where needed. The wet area is usually larger than the visible puddle.
Drying the floor system
Wet cabinet bases, laminate or wood boards and drywall are opened or lifted so air movers and dehumidifiers can reach them. See water extraction for pooled water and the town hub for related services. Cabinets and floors dry faster once the moisture is gone.
