Stopping the source
Each appliance has a shutoff valve on its supply, and the quickest fix is closing it and unplugging the unit. Pulling the machine out reveals the hose, the drain connection and the floor beneath. A plumber or appliance technician repairs the part that failed. If the leak is from a refrigerator water pipe, the pipe is shut at the wall valve and the unit is moved away from the wall.

(888) 557-1733Collingdale leak helpWhat the water soaks
Kitchen leaks reach cabinet bases, flooring and the subfloor beneath. Laundry leaks often run along a wall or drop to a ceiling below. The crew checks every one of those spots with meters, because the visible puddle is only part of the story. Hardwood and laminate flooring can swell and buckle when water runs underneath, so edges and seams are checked closely.
Drying cabinets and floors
Toe kicks and cabinet bases are opened so air can reach wet material, and flooring is lifted if it is trapping water. Air movers and dehumidifiers then run until the readings are dry. The ceiling leak page covers the room below when a leak reaches it, and the water extraction page covers the pumping. Cabinet doors are opened and shelves emptied so air reaches the whole box.
