Why appliance leaks are often slow and hidden

Leaks from dishwashers, refrigerators, and ice makers frequently happen behind or underneath the appliance, meaning water can spread across flooring and into cabinetry before it's noticed.

First steps

Shut off the water line to the appliance if there is a dedicated shutoff valve, and unplug the appliance if it's safe to reach the outlet without stepping in water.

What to check for afterward

Flooring around the appliance, the base of adjacent cabinets, and the subfloor underneath are the areas most likely to have absorbed moisture, even if the surface looks dry.

Frequently asked questions

Can I just mop up an appliance leak myself? +
For a very small, immediately-caught leak, yes. If water reached flooring seams or cabinet bases, professional moisture checking is worth it to rule out hidden absorption.
