Slow Leaks Are Often the Most Expensive
A pinhole leak behind a dishwasher or under a refrigerator can run for weeks before you notice. By the time water reaches a baseboard or warps a floorboard, cabinets, subfloor, and the ceiling below are often already damaged. We respond fast, find the full extent of the moisture with thermal imaging, and dry it in place wherever possible — preserving cabinets and hardwood that DIY cleanup almost always loses.

Appliance Leak Cleanup Process
Appliance leaks hide under cabinets and behind units, so they need a different approach than open-floor flooding. Our process is built to find and dry every affected area before mold has a chance to start.
1. Source Control
Shut off the supply line and disconnect the appliance so the leak can't continue while we work. Safe handling of water heaters and gas-connected units.
2. Inspection & Moisture Mapping
Locate every affected area, including water that traveled under cabinets, into adjacent rooms, and through subflooring to floors below.
3. Water Extraction
Remove standing water from kitchens, laundry rooms, and any path the leak followed before drying begins.
4. Cabinet & Flooring Drying
Targeted drying of cabinet kicks, toe spaces, hardwood, and tile so the underlying structure dries without removal where possible.
5. Antimicrobial Treatment
EPA-registered antimicrobials applied to wet materials to prevent mold growth in the warm, humid spaces leaks tend to create.
6. Repairs & Insurance Documentation
Replace damaged drywall, baseboards, flooring, and cabinetry. Full documentation submitted to your insurance carrier.

Saving Cabinets and Hardwood After an Appliance Leak
The two most common — and most expensive — losses from appliance leaks are kitchen cabinets and hardwood floors. Cabinet bases sit directly on the subfloor, which means a leak under a dishwasher can wick into kick boxes, side panels, and the toe kick before any water shows on the surface. Hardwood floors absorb water along the seams between boards and cup or crown within days. Both materials can often be saved if drying starts within the first 24-48 hours, but they're almost always lost when homeowners try to dry them with towels and a fan.
Our technicians use injection drying systems, low-profile air movers, and desiccant dehumidifiers specifically designed for cabinet kicks and hardwood. We monitor moisture readings daily and adjust the drying setup until your cabinets and floors hit equilibrium with the rest of the home. The result: a far smaller insurance claim, less disruption to your kitchen, and no surprise mold problems six months later.
Most homeowners' policies in Connecticut cover sudden and accidental appliance leaks. We document the loss, bill your carrier directly, and coordinate any cabinet or flooring repairs from one trusted team — so you're not chasing three different contractors after the cleanup is done.
