  1. 01

    Pull and inspect

    Water is pulled from the floor and from under cabinet bases.

  3. 03

Where appliance leaks start in Parker homes

Many Parker homes put the laundry room on the second floor near the bedrooms, which is convenient until a washer hose bursts over a finished room. Rubber washer hoses crack with age, ice-maker lines kink and split behind refrigerators, and dishwasher supply and drain lines loosen under the sink. Water then spreads under vinyl plank and laminate floors or soaks through to the ceiling below.

Call before the water reaches the subfloor.

What the cleanup includes

  • Pulling the appliance and extracting the floor
  • Removing cabinet toe kicks to reach water under the base
  • Lifting floating floor sections where water is trapped
  • Drying the subfloor and walls with air movers and a dehumidifier
  • Cleaning with antimicrobial when washer drain water was involved

Preventing the next leak

Replace rubber washer hoses with braided stainless hoses every five years or so, and add a drain pan and a water sensor under upstairs washers. The Consumer Product Safety Commission posts appliance recalls, and the EPA WaterSense leak page explains how to spot small leaks early. For water heaters, see water heater failure.

Questions

Washer and appliance leak questions, answered

Why is the floor still wet when it looks dry?

Water under vinyl plank, laminate and cabinets cannot evaporate. Moisture meters show it, and air has to be pushed underneath to dry it.

Do the kitchen cabinets have to come out?

Usually not. Toe kicks are removed and air is injected under the cabinet base. Cabinets that swell or delaminate may need replacement later.

Is a washer leak covered by insurance?

A sudden hose burst is commonly covered after the deductible. A slow leak over time usually is not. Coverage depends on your policy, so it is worth checking with your own insurer.

How often should washer hoses be replaced?

Rubber hoses crack with age. Braided stainless hoses replaced every five years or so are a common practice.

Is washer water dirty water?

Drain water from a washer carries soap, lint and body soils, so it is treated as Category 2. A burst supply hose starts as clean water.

How long does drying take after an appliance leak?

A laundry room often dries in two to three days. Water under cabinets or floating floors can take three to five.
