How appliance leak water damage is handled, start to dry
The tech on the walkthrough maps moisture before any equipment goes down, and the gear stays until the readings say dry, not until the room looks dry.
Map the spread
Meters check under cabinets and flooring.
Extract
Water comes off floors and out of toe kicks.
Vent and open
Toe kicks come off and cabinet bases are vented.
Dry to a reading
Equipment runs until the subfloor reads dry.
Appliance leaks come in two kinds. A burst washer hose under pressure floods a laundry room fast and is obvious. A dishwasher or ice maker line dripping inside a cabinet is slow and hidden, and by the time the floor cups or the toe kick swells, water has spread under the cabinets and into the subfloor.
Clean water or gray water
A supply line to a fridge, ice maker or washer carries clean water, Category 1. Water from a washer drain or a dishwasher discharge is gray water, Category 2, so pad is removed and surfaces get an antimicrobial. Either one degrades if it sits for days.

Preventing the next appliance leak

Can cabinets be dried after an appliance leak?
Often. Toe kicks are removed and cabinet bases vented so air reaches the trapped water. Particleboard that has swelled usually needs replacing, but solid wood cabinets often dry well.
Is appliance leak water damage covered by insurance?
A sudden hose or line failure is often covered, while a slow leak over weeks may not be. Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
