Appliance leaks are among the most common indoor water losses. Rubber washer hoses crack with age, dishwasher connections loosen, and the thin plastic line to a refrigerator ice maker splits. Clean supply water is Category 1, but water from a washer drain or dishwasher discharge is Category 2 gray water and gets handled accordingly.
Appliance failures the restoration team sees
- Burst or cracked washing machine fill hoses
- Dishwasher supply and drain connections under the sink
- Refrigerator and ice-maker supply lines behind the fridge
- Washer drain hoses slipping out of the standpipe
How appliance water gets dried
Water from a kitchen appliance runs under the cabinets and sits there out of sight. The extraction crew removes standing water, and the tech who does the walkthrough checks the cabinet bases, toe kicks and subfloor with meters. The drying team often removes toe kicks or drills small holes so air can reach under the cabinets, then dries with air movers and dehumidifiers. Upstairs laundry leaks often need ceiling drying below too.
Water around the washer or dishwasher? Close the valve behind the appliance, unplug it if it is dry to reach and call.

Answers
Appliance Leak Cleanup questions, answered
Can kitchen cabinets be saved?
Often, if drying starts before the particleboard swells. Once the base panels swell or delaminate they are usually replaced.
Is washing machine water dirty?
Water from the fill hose is clean. Water from the drain or tub is gray water, Category 2, and gets cleaned and treated during drying.
How long should I run fans myself?
Fans alone often push moisture into walls and cabinets. Extraction and dehumidification with readings is the reliable way to confirm dry.
Is an appliance leak covered by insurance?
Sudden failures such as a burst hose are often covered; slow leaks often are not. Coverage depends on your policy, so it is worth checking with your own insurer.
What hoses should I replace?
Rubber washer hoses older than about five years are worth replacing with braided stainless ones, along with brittle plastic ice-maker lines.
How long does drying take?
Usually two to four days for a caught-early leak; longer when water got under cabinets or into a ceiling below.
