- 2
Unplug it. Pull the plug on the appliance, once the floor around it is safe to reach.

How the Westwego restoration team handles appliance and supply hose leaks
Rapid local response
Dispatch runs 24/7 across Westwego, and any active water is treated as urgent at any hour, storms and holidays included.
IICRC S500 drying standard
The drying team sizes air movers and LGR dehumidifiers to the class of loss and keeps them running until the readings say dry.
Claim-ready documentation
A moisture map, daily psychrometric logs and timestamped photos taken before demolition go into the file for the adjuster.
Humid Gulf Coast know-how
Outdoor air near the river holds a lot of moisture, so the crew dries inside closed containment instead of opening windows.

How appliance and supply hose leaks is handled in Westwego
Trace
The leak source is found and shut off before drying starts.
Extract
Water is pulled from floors, cabinet bases and carpet.
Open
Toe kicks, baseboards and loose flooring come up.
Dry
Equipment runs until readings match dry reference points.
Appliance leaks are quiet. A braided hose lets go behind a washer, a dishwasher drain loosens, an icemaker supply drips under a refrigerator, and the water goes where nobody looks, into the subfloor and the cabinet base. Nearly half of Westwego's occupied homes are rentals, so a leak often involves a landlord, a tenant and a neighbor.
Kitchen and laundry leaks
Dishwasher and refrigerator leaks soak the cabinet base and laminate or vinyl flooring, and water travels under the surface sideways. Crews pull toe kicks, lift loose flooring and dry the cabinet bottoms from beneath. Washer leaks in a laundry closet soak baseboards and carpet in the hall beyond.
Leaks that reach the unit below
In a duplex or apartment building, water from an upstairs appliance shows up as a ceiling stain or a wet wall downstairs. Both units need readings, and the cleanup is coordinated so neither dries alone. Photographs from both homes help property managers and insurers sort out responsibility.
What the crew does
- Extracts standing water from floors and cabinet bases.
- Removes toe kicks and baseboards to reach hidden water.
- Lifts laminate, vinyl or carpet pad that has soaked through.
- Dries hardwood and subfloor with specialty mats where needed.
- Records readings until every material tests dry.
Related causes
Not every kitchen leak is an appliance. A failing supply pipe is a burst pipe case, and a tank leaking in the closet is a water heater leak. The crew traces the real source before choosing a drying plan.

Appliance and Supply Hose Leaks questions in Westwego, LA
Water spreading as you read?
Describe the appliance, the floor type and any wet ceiling or neighbor below, and the crew will plan the dry out.
(888) 417-5665 Appliance leak questionsWhich appliances leak most often?
Washers, dishwashers, refrigerators with icemakers and water heaters top the list, usually through worn hoses, loose clamps or clogged drains.
Can a leak spread to the neighbor below?
Yes, in buildings with two or more units. Water follows pipes and gaps in the floor, so drying often covers the unit underneath as well.
Does a slow leak need professional drying?
Usually, yes. Water can sit under flooring and cabinets for weeks, and only moisture readings show whether the subfloor has dried out.
Can hardwood flooring be saved?
Often, when it is caught early. Drying mats pull moisture from the boards, though cupping and gaps can still appear if water sat for long.
Who pays when a rental leaks?
That depends on the lease, the cause and each policy. The crew documents the damage, and the insurers and property owner sort out responsibility.
Should I replace the supply hose?
A worn hose is the likely culprit, so replacing it is a smart step once the area is dry. A plumber or appliance technician can do it.
