(888) 578-4720 Carrboro leak helpHow do slow appliance leaks usually show up?
Look for swollen cabinet bases, cupped flooring, a musty smell or a stain on the ceiling below.
Does the crew replace the hose or appliance?
No. A plumber or appliance technician handles repairs to the appliance and its connections, while the restoration team removes the water and dries the structure.
Can wet cabinets be saved?
Solid wood and plywood bases often dry in place when treated quickly. Particleboard swells and loses strength once it soaks, so it is typically replaced.
Will insurance cover an appliance leak?
Sudden leaks are commonly covered, while slow seepage over months often is not. The sooner the leak is documented, the clearer the claim.
What happens to water under the flooring?
It spreads beyond the visible wet spot and keeps the subfloor damp. Planks are lifted in sections and air is moved through the gap until meters read dry.
Dry under the cabinets
The drying team finds the hidden water, opens the floor and cabinet base where readings run high and logs each step.
