Appliance leaks are quiet. A cracked washer hose or a loose dishwasher seal drips into the floor and cabinet bases and may never make a puddle you can see. In Kenner, 63.1 percent of homes are owner-occupied, so a meaningful share are rented, and a leak in one unit can spread into shared floors and walls.
Where appliance water travels
- Under laminate and vinyl floors beside the appliance
- Into cabinet bases and toe kicks
- Through the subfloor to a ceiling below
- Behind baseboards and into wall bottoms
Mapping a hidden leak
A moisture meter and thermal camera find wet material that the eye cannot. Laminate and pad come up where it is soaked, toe kicks come off, and cabinet bases are dried with air movers. Hardwood needs slower drying so it does not cup.
Rentals and shared walls
When water travels into a neighboring unit or a ceiling below, each space is mapped and dried, and records are kept for the owner and the insurer. See water extraction and structural drying for the methods used.
Signs a leak has been running
A floor that feels spongy near the dishwasher, a baseboard that swells, a musty cabinet or a dark spot on the ceiling below the kitchen all suggest water has been escaping for some time. Check around supply connections regularly.
Drying cabinets and floors together
Cabinet bases, toe kicks and the floor under them hold water together, so they are dried as one area, with air pushed under and behind them and readings repeated until the wood stops giving up moisture.

Water spreading as you read?

(888) 417-5665 Read the appliance leak answersHow long can an appliance leak go unnoticed?
Weeks, if it drips under flooring or inside cabinets, which is why a soft floor should be checked quickly.
Does hardwood have to be replaced?
Not always. Slow drying with mats can save boards if they have not cupped.
Is dishwasher water clean?
It is gray water, so soaked porous materials are removed or treated.
What about a leak in a rented unit?
Each space is mapped and dried, and photos and logs are shared with the owner and the insurer.
Should the appliance be replaced?
A failed hose or seal can usually be replaced, but a plumber should check supply connections.
Will insurance cover it?
Sudden leaks are often covered and slow seepage may not be, so ask your own insurer.
Can a refrigerator line leak?
Yes. The small supply tube to an ice maker or water dispenser can crack or loosen, and it leaks behind the unit where nobody looks.
