Where appliance water goes
Water behind a dishwasher or washer runs under cabinets, along the toe-kick and beneath the flooring. Ice makers and refrigerator tubing leaks slowly, which hides the damage. By the time the floor cups or a cabinet base swells, moisture can be well beyond what is visible.

- Washing machine hoses and drains
- Refrigerator ice maker tubing
Drying cabinets and floors
The crew opens the toe-kick or drills small holes to push dry air into the wet cavity, lifts pad where needed and dries the floor with mats or air movers. Dishwasher and washer discharge is gray water, so soaked pad is removed and surfaces are treated.
A few habits that help
Checking hoses for bulges and replacing old ones, and shutting off supply when away for days, prevent most failures. When the water reaches the floor surface, the hardwood floor water damage page explains how wood is saved.

Appliance Leak Water Damage questions in Nolensville, TN
Is appliance water clean?
Supply water is clean, but dishwasher and washer discharge is gray, so the category affects what gets removed.
Will the cabinets have to come out?
Not always. Air can be pushed into the toe-kick area to dry them in place, and only swollen or soaked bases are replaced.
How long does drying take?
Three to five days is typical, depending on flooring and how long the leak ran.
Will insurance pay for a slow leak?
Sudden bursts are covered more often than long drips. Your insurer has the answer, so keep readings and photos.
Why does the floor cup after a leak?
Wood absorbs water from below and swells unevenly, so the edges rise.
Why do ice maker leaks go unnoticed?
The tubing drips slowly behind the refrigerator, so damage spreads under the floor for weeks.
