How appliance leak water damage is handled in Redmond, step by step
Trace

Wet vacuums remove water from floors and cabinet bases.

Air movers and dehumidifiers dry the subfloor and cabinet bases.
Leaks that reach the unit below
Downtown Redmond and Overlake include many apartment and townhome buildings, where a washer leak upstairs drips through the floor into the unit below. Meters on both floors show how far the water traveled, and both are dried.
- Washer supply and drain hoses
- Dishwasher supply and door seals
- Refrigerator ice maker supply
- Cracked drain traps
Cabinets, floors and what stays
Toe kicks come off so the space under the cabinets can be checked. Laminate and vinyl plank are lifted when water has gotten beneath, and cabinet bases are dried in place when the wood is sound.
Subfloor and wall bottoms are dried with air movers and a dehumidifier, logged daily like any structural drying job.
Gray water from drains
Dishwasher and washer drain water is gray water, not clean supply water. The crew treats it with an antimicrobial and removes porous materials, and a plumber repairs the failed part. For supply pipe breaks, see burst pipe damage.

Which appliances leak most?
Washers, dishwashers and refrigerators with ice makers leak most, usually from hoses, seals or supply connections.
Can water reach the unit below?
Yes. In multi-floor buildings, floor leaks can drip through to neighbors, and both units should be checked.
Should the appliance be moved?
Only if it is safe. The crew pulls it to check the floor and cabinets behind and beneath.
Will insurance cover it?
A sudden leak is often covered, while a slow leak over many weeks may not be. Ask your own insurer.
Is the water clean?
Supply leaks are. Drain water from a washer or dishwasher is gray water and is treated.
How long does drying take?
Usually three to five days, depending on cabinets and subfloor, and readings decide.
Water behind the washer or dishwasher? Dry it before the subfloor swells.
Leaks under appliances soak cabinets and flooring for days, and the damage spreads until it is traced, removed and dried.
