Documentation for the insurance claim
The claim file holds a moisture map, daily psychrometric logs, timestamped photos taken before demolition, the water category and class of loss, and a line-item scope. Sudden and accidental water is often covered, while rising flood water usually needs a separate flood policy. Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
Ranges are typical, not a quote: water category, square footage, material class and how fast drying started move the number most. Run the water damage cost calculator for a closer range.

Meters confirm drying is done.
Appliance leaks are quiet. A cracked supply hose, a loose drain connection or a split ice maker tube can drip behind a machine for weeks, so the first sign is often a soft floor or a musty smell rather than a puddle. The damage tends to be hidden and spread wide.
Where these leaks hide
- Behind washing machines and under laundry room floors
- Under dishwashers, in the toe kick area
- Behind refrigerators with water dispensers or ice makers
- Beneath kitchen and bathroom sinks
Because these leaks run slowly, the water often soaks flooring and cabinet bases long before anyone sees it.
What the drying team does
Supply hoses and drain connections are shut off first. Standing water is extracted, flooring that has swollen is lifted, and toe kicks and cabinet bases are opened so air reaches the cavity. Meters then set how long the equipment stays, since wet particleboard and laminate hold water longer than they appear to.
When it spreads to the next room
A leak that has run a long time can move under flooring into hallways and neighboring rooms. Wider losses move into structural drying and dehumidification, and for the extraction step see water extraction.

Appliance and Supply Hose Leaks questions, answered
Still dealing with it?
Hose leaking behind a machine? The drying team pulls the water and dries the floor.
(888) 949-8496 Dry the hose leakHow long can an appliance hose leak before it is noticed?
Weeks, in some cases, because the water drips behind or under the machine. A soft floor, swollen toe kick or musty smell is often the first sign.
Can the washer or dishwasher stay in place during drying?
Usually it is pulled out so the floor and cabinet base behind it can be reached and dried.
Why are cabinet bases opened?
Water wicks up into toe kicks and particleboard, where it stays hidden and swells the material. Opening them lets air in and shows the actual moisture.
Can laminate or vinyl flooring be dried in place?
Sometimes vinyl can, but laminate swells at the seams when it absorbs water and usually has to come up. Meters decide.
What makes a hose leak job larger?
Time. A leak found early is a spot repair, while a slow leak can reach subfloors, cabinets and the next room.
Soft floor or musty cabinet? Get the moisture checked.
Appliance leaks soak floors and cabinet bases before they show. The crew extracts the water and dries the hidden spots.
