Why appliance leaks run long
A dishwasher or fridge supply fitting can drip behind a toe kick for weeks, and a washer hose can split under pressure when the machine is running. Because the water travels under cabinets and into the subfloor, the visible wet spot understates the damage.

Apartments and shared walls
Issaquah has apartment communities, and a leak in one unit can wet the ceiling and walls of the unit below or the one beside it. The crew traces each affected unit and records the path so every owner and adjuster sees the same facts.
Drying cabinets and floors
Toe kicks come off so air can reach the space under the cabinets, and flooring is lifted when moisture has traveled beneath it. Gray water from a washer or dishwasher means affected materials may be removed rather than dried. See ceiling leak water damage when the water shows up below.
Trade fact: A cabinet base that looks dry can hide a wet toe kick cavity, so readings are taken inside it.

How long can an appliance leak run unnoticed?
Long enough to soak the subfloor. Many leaks hide behind toe kicks or under machines and show up first as soft flooring or a musty smell.
Is washer water clean?
Not always. Washer and dishwasher discharge is treated as gray water, so contaminated materials may be removed instead of dried.
Do cabinets have to be replaced?
Not always. Cabinet bases are dried when readings allow, but swollen or delaminated material is removed.
What if the leak reached a neighbor?
The affected units are each read and dried, and the path of the water is recorded so the adjusters can sort out responsibility.
Should the failed part be kept?
Keep the failed hose or part if it can be saved, since it shows the cause to the adjuster.
Does flooring have to be lifted?
If moisture is under it, yes, because trapped water keeps the subfloor wet and can lead to cupping or mold.
