Where appliance water hides
Water follows gravity and gaps:
- Under dishwashers and refrigerators
- Behind washer hookups in laundry rooms
- Inside cabinet bases and toe kicks
- Beneath flooring planks and tile edges
Because the leak is inside the home, repairs are the customer's responsibility, while the drying team handles the wet cabinets, flooring and walls.
A weeping hose keeps wetting the floor until the valve is shut. Describe the wet area and the crew can plan the drying.
