What's included
What Appliance Leak Water Damage Service Includes
Every appliance leak job includes the core work: inspection, extraction, drying, monitoring, and documentation. Replacing the failed hose or appliance is a plumber's job, and we flag it so you can get it fixed before you run the appliance again. Here is what is covered.
Water Extraction
Standing water comes out with a water extraction unit. We pull saturated carpet padding, extract hardwood seams, and remove water from subfloor before drying begins.
Structural Drying Setup
Air movers and dehumidifiers go in to dry the structure, with a floor drying system or Injectidry system for hardwood and wall cavities. We track humidity with a hygrometer daily.
Daily Monitoring Visits
We return every 24 hours to check moisture readings, adjust equipment, and confirm materials are drying on schedule. Most jobs need three to five days of drying.
Insurance Documentation
Photos, daily moisture logs, and an Xactimate scope written in the format adjusters expect. You get a complete file to submit with your claim.
Final Dry Verification
We re-check every wet material against a dry reference sample before pulling equipment. You get a final report showing the structure hit dry standard.
How it works
How Our Appliance Leak Cleanup Works
You call, we answer. A dispatcher takes your address, the appliance involved, and how long the water has been running. We talk you through shutting off the supply valve or the main if you cannot reach it. A crew is dispatched with a water extraction unit and drying gear loaded.
On arrival, we shut off the water if it is still running and inspect the appliance and surrounding structure. A moisture meter and thermal imaging camera show us where water traveled behind baseboard and under flooring. We map wet zones and photograph everything for your insurance file. This takes 30 to 60 minutes.
Standing water comes out first with a truck-mounted or portable water extraction unit. We pull wet carpet, remove saturated carpet padding, and extract water from hardwood seams and subfloor. Extraction usually takes one to three hours depending on how far the water spread.
We set air movers and dehumidifiers to dry the structure, plus a floor drying system or Injectidry system for hardwood and wall cavities. A hygrometer tracks humidity daily. Most appliance leak jobs dry in three to five days. We check readings every 24 hours and adjust equipment until materials hit dry standard.
Before we pull equipment, we re-check every wet material with a moisture meter and confirm readings match a dry reference sample. You get a final report with photos and daily readings. We also flag the failed supply line or hose so your plumber can replace it before you run the appliance again.

Tools & methods
Tools and Methods We Use on Appliance Leaks
Moisture Meter
Reads moisture content in drywall, subfloor, and hardwood so we know exactly where water traveled and when materials hit dry standard.
Thermal Imaging Camera
Shows temperature differences behind walls and under floors, revealing hidden moisture from slow appliance leaks without cutting open drywall.
Hygrometer
Tracks relative humidity and temperature in the drying chamber so we can confirm dehumidifiers are keeping conditions below 60 percent RH.
Water Extraction Unit
Truck-mounted or portable unit that pulls standing water from carpet, hardwood seams, and subfloor fast.
Air Mover and Dehumidifier
Dri-Eaz and Phoenix Restoration air movers and dehumidifiers work together to evaporate water and pull humidity out of the air.
Floor Drying System and Injectidry System
Dries hardwood flooring and wall cavities in place by forcing dry air through the material, often saving floors that would otherwise be torn out.
