  2. 2Unplug if safe

Appliance leaks are among the most common water losses in any house. A rubber washer hose bursts under pressure, a dishwasher drain line slips, the plastic tube feeding a refrigerator ice maker cracks or a toilet supply connector fails. Many of these run while the house is empty, so water has hours to travel.

Clean water or gray water

A burst supply hose carries clean Category 1 water. A washer or dishwasher drain carries soapy, dirty Category 2 water, which changes what can be saved. Clean water caught early lets most flooring and cabinets dry in place; Category 2 water that sat often means pad and some materials come out.

Where appliance water hides

  • Under kitchen cabinets and behind the toe kick
  • Beneath laminate and vinyl plank flooring
  • Inside the wall behind the washer box
  • Under the refrigerator, along the ice maker line

Preventing the next one

Braided stainless hoses, a leak sensor under the washer and closing the washer valves when the house is empty all cut the risk. The EPA WaterSense leak checklist lists the fittings worth checking, and CPSC posts appliance recalls. Appliance leak help runs 24/7.
