Appliance and Water Heater Leaks in Nashville and Middle Tennessee
Water Damage & Flooding

Appliance and Water Heater Leaks

Leaks from water heaters, washing machines, dishwashers, refrigerators and air conditioners dried and cleaned before they spread.

Not every water loss is a flood. A slow leak under a dishwasher, a failing washing machine hose or a corroded water heater can soak a floor and the cabinets above it for weeks. By the time you smell it, there may be mold in the subfloor.

We trace the water, remove it, open the affected area and dry cabinets, flooring and the cavity below. We also tell you what we see about the cause, so the appliance can be repaired or replaced and the leak does not return.

Slow leaks do the most damage

A small drip over weeks wets the subfloor and the cabinet base without any visible puddle. Mold often follows. A moisture inspection finds what a quick look misses.

Cabinets and toe kicks

Kitchen and bath cabinets hold water in their bases. We remove toe kicks, dry inside the cabinets and decide whether the cabinet bases can be saved.

Water heaters and utility rooms

Water heaters can release a tank of water at once. We extract, dry and check nearby walls and floors. A plumber should replace or repair the unit.

Annual leak checks

A quick look under sinks and behind appliances once or twice a year catches slow leaks early. Water heaters over ten years old deserve a closer look.

Questions

Appliance and Water Heater Leaks FAQ

How do I know if an appliance is leaking?

Look for warped flooring, a musty smell, damp cabinet bases or a rising water bill. A moisture inspection can confirm hidden leaks.

Can cabinets be saved?

Often. Solid cabinets dry well when work starts early. Particleboard bases that swell usually need replacing.

Should I replace the appliance hose?

Braided hoses are a good upgrade and should be checked every few years. A plumber can advise.

Will insurance cover it?

Coverage depends on the policy and the cause. We document the damage so you can discuss it with your insurance company.

How old can a water heater be?

Many last ten to fifteen years. Signs of age include rust, rumbling and moisture at the base.
