Where appliance water hides

  • Behind dishwashers and inside cabinet toe kicks
  • Beneath refrigerators with ice makers
  • Into walls shared with a neighbor

A shut off valve and a meter reading narrow it down quickly.

Rentals and shared walls

In 2010, 38.2% of occupied homes in the city were rented, and in rentals and shared wall units a leak often wets the unit below or beside it. The crew documents the source and the wet areas, which helps the owner, the tenant and the insurance company sort out who handles what.

Drying the kitchen or laundry area

After extraction, the crew pulls toe kicks, dries behind and under cabinets and checks the wall bottoms. If flooring is soaked, structural drying continues until readings settle, and a water heater in the same room links to water heater leak cleanup.
