Appliance Leak Cleanup
Appliance Leak? We Find and Fix the Hidden Damage.
Appliance leaks are sneaky. A slow drip behind your washing machine or under your dishwasher can cause hidden water damage behind walls and under floors for weeks before you notice. Dry Effect's IICRC-certified technicians use thermal imaging and moisture meters to find every pocket of trapped moisture — not just what's visible. The EPA emphasizes that unaddressed water damage can lead to mold growth within 24-48 hours. We handle water heater failures, washing machine hose bursts, dishwasher leaks, and refrigerator supply line leaks. Direct insurance billing and Wisetack financing available.
Our Process
How Appliance Leak Cleanup Works
A proven, step-by-step approach to getting your property back to normal.
Source ID
We identify the leaking appliance and the full extent of water migration. Thermal imaging and moisture meters reveal hidden damage behind walls, under cabinets, and beneath flooring that you can't see.
Water Extraction
Industrial extractors remove water from all affected materials — hardwood, subfloor, carpet, padding, and wall cavities. We pull appliances and cabinets as needed to access trapped water.
Moisture Mapping
We create a detailed moisture map of your property showing every affected area. This guides our drying plan and provides documentation for your insurance claim.
Drying & Restoration
Commercial air movers and dehumidifiers dry all affected materials to their dry standard. Once dry, we handle all repairs — drywall, flooring, painting, and cabinetry as needed.

FAQ
Common Appliance Leak Cleanup Questions
Warning signs include musty smells near appliances, warped or soft flooring, discoloration on nearby walls or baseboards, and unexplained increases in your water bill. Slow leaks can cause extensive damage behind walls and under floors before any visible signs appear.
Water heaters are the #1 source — they hold 40-80 gallons and can fail catastrophically. Washing machine supply hoses are #2, especially rubber hoses that crack with age. Dishwashers and refrigerator ice maker lines round out the top four.
Most homeowner's policies cover sudden appliance failures — a water heater bursting, a hose rupturing. Gradual leaks that you ignored may not be covered. We document everything thoroughly to support your claim and work directly with your insurance company.
