A leaking washing machine, dishwasher, refrigerator, water heater, or other appliance can release enough water to damage flooring, cabinets, drywall, and nearby materials. Quick cleanup helps limit how far the moisture spreads.
What the Job Involves
The appliance and surrounding area are inspected to identify the leak and determine which materials have been affected. Standing water is extracted, moisture levels are checked, and damaged materials are assessed for drying or removal.
Signs You Need It
- Water around an appliance
- Wet or swollen flooring
- Damp cabinets
- Water stains on nearby walls
- Musty odors
- Leaking hoses or connections
- Standing water after appliance use
How the Work Goes
The appliance leak is stopped first. Standing water is removed with extraction equipment, followed by moisture testing of flooring, cabinets, drywall, and nearby materials. Air movers and dehumidifiers are used to dry areas that can be saved.
What Affects the Cost
Cost depends on the amount of water released, affected square footage, flooring type, cabinet condition, accessibility, and drying requirements. Hidden moisture underneath appliances or flooring can increase the work required.
