The supply is shut off.
- II
Extract
Water is removed from the floor and toe-kicks.

- IV

Busy homes, hidden leaks

How the drying works
The crew extracts surface water, pulls toe-kicks and baseboards to reach the cavity behind them, and dries cabinet bases and flooring with structural drying equipment. Moisture mapping shows where a hidden leak traveled.
Cabinets and flooring
Solid wood and laminate react differently to water. Meters show whether a cabinet base can be dried in place or whether swollen sections need to be removed. Photos taken before any section is removed support the claim, and the scope lists each item.

Appliance and Supply Hose Leak Cleanup questions, answered
How do I stop a washer hose leak?
Turn off the supply valves behind the machine or the main valve if the hose has no shutoff. Then call the drying crew while a plumber or technician replaces the hose.
Can wet kitchen cabinets be saved?
Often, when they are solid wood or well sealed and dried quickly. Swollen particleboard usually cannot be restored, and meters show which sections can stay.
Can a dishwasher leak ruin the floor?
It can, especially under laminate or planks where water spreads sideways. Water extraction and drying keep the damage from reaching the subfloor.
Does homeowners insurance cover appliance leaks?
Often yes for sudden leaks, though the policy wording and the cause decide, so ask your insurer. Photos and readings document the loss.
How do I know a leak is hidden behind a wall?
Look for a musty smell, warped baseboards, soft flooring or a water bill that jumps. A moisture meter or thermal camera confirms where the water went.
Dry the kitchen or laundry room
Tell the crew which appliance failed and which rooms feel wet, and the extraction and drying equipment is loaded to fit.
