- Unplug the appliance. Unplug it only if the outlet is dry; otherwise switch off the breaker first.
- Soak up the surface. Towels and a wet vacuum remove loose water, and emptying drawers lets the crew reach the cabinet bases.
- Photograph the source. Take dated photos of the failed hose or valve, the damaged flooring and the cabinet bases.

Dishwashers, washing machines, refrigerators and sink supply hoses fail more quietly than a burst pipe, and the water often spreads under flooring and into cabinet bases before anyone sees it. Owners and renters both deal with these leaks, and the paperwork differs for each.
Where appliance leaks hide
Each appliance leaks in a different place, and the failure point shapes the damage.
- A dishwasher inlet or door seal soaks the cabinet base and the kitchen floor
- A washing machine hose lets go under pressure and floods a laundry room
- A refrigerator ice maker hose drips behind the unit for weeks
- A sink supply hose or shutoff valve seeps inside the vanity or cabinet

(888) 578-6508 (888) 578-6508Ask about my failed hoseWho pays for a failed supply hose?
The owner or landlord repairs the hose and appliance, while a renter's policy covers their belongings and the landlord's policy covers the building.
How long can a slow leak run unnoticed?
Weeks or months, especially behind a refrigerator or inside a cabinet. Look for swollen toe kicks, a musty odor or soft flooring near any appliance.
Can wet cabinets be saved?
Solid wood bases often can, using small openings and directed air, while particleboard that has swollen or lost its finish usually cannot and is replaced.
Is the water from a dishwasher clean?
A supply hose leak is clean water, but a dishwasher drain or a washer overflow carries food and detergent residue, so those materials need closer attention.
Should I keep the damaged hose?
Yes. The failed part shows the plumber and the adjuster how the leak started, so bag it, label it and keep it with the photos.
Hidden hose leaks keep spreading
Water from a failed hose moves under cabinets and flooring before it shows, so naming the appliance and the rooms involved helps the crew bring the right tools.
