Signs to look for

When to call us for appliance leak cleanup

With damage contained, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.

You know something leaked, but not which machine

As our controlled response continues, two or three machines share a wall or a cabinet run, and the water shows up between them.

Water only shows up during a cycle

Before materials deteriorate further, dry floor in the morning, wet floor after the machine runs.

The drip pan under a machine holds standing water

With damage contained, a drip pan is a warning device, not a fix.

A supply hose feels stiff, bulged or damp at the crimp

With damage contained, rubber hardens with age and the crimped ends are where pressure concentrates. Before materials deteriorate further, a damp crimp is the last warning you get before a burst hose.

An appliance shutoff valve is corroded, weeping or stuck

As our controlled response continues, white or green crust at the valve body means it has been seeping.

The floor dips or flexes where a machine sits

Before materials deteriorate further, machines are heavy and they never move.

What happens

How we handle appliance leak cleanup

Our property-protection team adjusts the work to what got wet, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.

Naming the failed appliance and the failed part

Before materials deteriorate further, supply hose, inlet valve, drain hose, pump, door seal or drip pan overflow.

The same age audit on every other water connection

To protect the property, while we are there we look at the rest.

A moisture map that ignores which machine it was

As our controlled response continues, water does not care about the brand on the front.

Extraction from behind and under machines that do not move

Before materials deteriorate further, most appliance water sits in the gap you cannot reach.

Cabinet and toe kick void drying

As our controlled response continues, where the machine sits inside a cabinet run, the water is under the boxes.

Supply water versus drain water handling

With damage contained, clean supply water is dried. To protect the property, drain water from a machine is gray water, which means cleaning and disinfection alongside the drying, not instead of it.

What to expect

What to expect from our property-protection team

To protect the property, here is how we usually handle appliance leak cleanup near Florida.

  1. 1

    Name the machine and we will name the valve

    As our controlled response continues, tell us which appliance and roughly when it started.

    Your call
  2. 2

    Close the appliance valve if you can reach it safely

    Before materials deteriorate further, reach the valve only from dry footing.

    +5 minutes
  3. 3

    Stop the cycle and leave the machine alone

    To protect the property, do not run it again to see if it still leaks.

    +10 minutes
  4. 4

    The failed part identified before anything is moved

    Before materials deteriorate further, we photograph the connection in place first. With damage contained, once a machine is pulled forward, the evidence of what actually failed is usually gone for good.

    On arrival
  5. 5

    The machine out and the footprint metered

    Before materials deteriorate further, we pull the appliance, read the floor behind and under it, and mark the wet boundary.

    First hour
  6. 6

    Water out of the voids and equipment set

    To protect the property, extraction from under the flooring and behind the cabinetry, then air movers and an Professional dehumidifier positioned to pull from the voids rather than blow across the room.

    Same day
  7. 7

    Readings tracked in the cabinet run and the floor

    As our controlled response continues, we come back and meter the same marked points daily.

    Day 2 to 4

Understanding the cost

What can affect the price

With damage contained, we explain the recommended work and price before you approve the job. With damage contained, these examples show what may change the estimate.

Common situationWhat the estimate may includeTypical range
Single appliance failure caught while it was happening, one roomTo protect the property, national estimate. With damage contained, extraction, void drying and a few equipment days on clean supply water.$500 to $1,500
Appliance failure that ran through a cycle or overnight, room plus adjacent flooringTo protect the property, national estimate. To protect the property, typical when cabinetry and a flooring assembly are both in the wet boundary.$1,500 to $5,000
Appliance leak from an upper floor into the level belowTo protect the property, national estimate. Before materials deteriorate further, two rooms, ceiling work and a longer drying schedule.$2,500 to $8,000
Appliance leak cleanup priced by affected area, clean waterBefore materials deteriorate further, national estimate for measured affected area, the way most estimates are actually built.$3 to $7 per square foot
Cleaning and deodorizing after appliance drain waterNational estimate. Added to the drying protection plan when the water came off the drain side.$200 to $800
Appliance bay and cabinet toe kick void drying, one cabinet runTo protect the property, national estimate for opening and drying the void under a fixed cabinet run.$400 to $1,000
After hours dispatch on its ownNational estimate for the after hours call out on its own, separate from the cleanup protection plan.$100 to $400

  • Which appliance failed and how much water it moved
    With damage contained, a refrigerator line weeps a few gallons a day. Before materials deteriorate further, a supply hose at full pressure moves several gallons a minute.

  • Supply water or drain water
    As our controlled response continues, clean supply water is a drying job.

  • How long it ran before anyone noticed
    With damage contained, hours is a room. With damage contained, weeks is a room plus materials.

  • Whether the machine sits in a cabinet run
    Before materials deteriorate further, a freestanding washer in an open room is straightforward.

  • Flooring type and whether it comes up
    Sheet vinyl and glued planks trap water against the deck. Whether we can dry through the assembly or have to lift it changes the protection plan substantially.

  • Whether a floor below is involved
    To protect the property, once the ceiling under the appliance is wet, you have two rooms, two ceilings of readings and usually a second set of equipment.

Why timing matters

What can happen when the area stays wet

As our controlled response continues, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

The next appliance is the same age as this one

Before materials deteriorate further, homes get their machines in batches.

The machine goes back onto a floor that is still wet

With damage contained, a new appliance delivered onto a wet deck traps the moisture under a hundred pounds of steel.

Drain water needs cleaning, not only drying

As our controlled response continues, water that came out of a drain hose carries food, detergent and body soil.

Mold can start within 24 to 48 hours behind a machine

With damage contained, the gap behind an appliance is dark, still and warm.

Helpful service information

What to know about appliance leak cleanup

To protect the property, start with the short explanation. As our controlled response continues, open a card if you want a little more detail.

What is happening inside the property

With damage contained, the gap behind a washer, the void under a dishwasher and the cavity beneath a cabinet toe kick all hold water by water wicking.

Read the explanation

As our controlled response continues, appliance water usually ends up somewhere you cannot reach with a towel. With damage contained, the gap behind a washer, the void under a dishwasher and the cavity beneath a cabinet toe kick all hold water by water wicking.

How the next step is decided

With damage contained, plywood cabinet boxes and solid wood face frames usually dry in place.

Read the explanation

As our controlled response continues, salvageability on an appliance loss follows the material, not the story. With damage contained, plywood cabinet boxes and solid wood face frames usually dry in place.

What may change the work

With damage contained, rubber cores harden with age and with chlorinated water, and the crimped ferrule at each end is where pressure concentrates.

Read the explanation

With damage contained, supply hoses fail for reasons you can predict. With damage contained, rubber cores harden with age and with chlorinated water, and the crimped ferrule at each end is where pressure concentrates.

Common questions

Questions about appliance leak cleanup

Which household appliances cause the most water damage?

Before materials deteriorate further, washing machines, dishwashers, water heaters and refrigerator ice maker lines account for most of the calls we take.

Do you repair the appliance too?

Before materials deteriorate further, no. To protect the property, we handle the water damage and coordinate with whoever repairs or replaces the machine.

To protect the property, one hose failed. Should I replace all of them?

As our controlled response continues, usually yes. To protect the property, appliance hoses in a home are almost always the same age and the same material.

Before materials deteriorate further, my water heater is leaking. What do I shut off first?

Before materials deteriorate further, shut the heater down before you touch the water. As our controlled response continues, on a gas unit, turn the gas control knob to pilot or off.

Can I run the machine while the floor dries?

To protect the property, not until the failed part is replaced and we have read the floor underneath.

Can I clean up an appliance leak myself?

To protect the property, you can handle a small surface spill on hard flooring. To protect the property, once standing water is about an inch deep, or it has reached a cabinet run or a carpet, a shop vacuum will not reach the water that matters.

Will my cabinets survive an appliance leak?

To protect the property, plywood cabinet boxes often dry in place once we open the toe kick and get air into the void.
