Meters and a thermal camera show where the leak traveled behind and below the appliance.
- 2
Extract and open
Standing water is removed, then toe kicks and wet underlayment come out.
- 3
Dry cabinets and floors
Mats, air movers and a dehumidifier work on the cabinet base, flooring and subfloor.
- 4

Where appliance water goes
- Under cabinets and behind the toe kick
- Beneath hardwood, laminate and vinyl
- Into the subfloor and any crawl space below
- Along baseboards into the next room

Weeks, in some cases. A hose that weeps behind a washer or an ice maker supply tube under a refrigerator can soak a subfloor before any stain or odor appears.
Can hardwood be saved after a dishwasher leak?
Often yes when it is caught early and dried with mats and controlled airflow. Boards that cup, crown or separate may need replacement, and readings settle the question.
What happens to the cabinets?
Toe kicks are removed to dry the cabinet base. Particleboard that swells or crumbles is replaced, while solid wood and plywood often dry and stay in place.
Will insurance pay for a leaking appliance?
Policies frequently respond to sudden hose or fitting failures for the resulting water damage, while the appliance itself and slow leaks may not be covered. Records of timing and cause help.
What if the leak started in a neighbor's unit?
The building owner or manager should be told right away, and the source must be stopped upstairs. Drying of the affected unit can begin once the water is off.

A kitchen floor and cabinet base usually take several days, and hardwood or subfloor can need longer. Daily readings decide when the equipment is removed.
