Dispatch at any hour
Active water is treated as urgent around the clock, weekends and holidays included, because drywall and subfloor keep soaking while water sits.
Dried to the IICRC S500 standard
Air movers and LGR dehumidifiers are sized to the class of loss, and materials are dried to within 2 to 4 points of a dry reference.
A claim file from the first visit
Moisture maps, daily psychrometric logs and timestamped photos taken before any demolition go into one file for the adjuster.
Planned for Piedmont houses
Crawl spaces over red clay, older mill houses and manufactured homes each dry differently, so the plan starts from how the house is built.

Appliance leaks are the most common indoor water losses in Gaffney homes, and many start small. A rubber washer hose cracks, a dishwasher drain line loosens, an ice maker's plastic tube splits behind the refrigerator, or a toilet supply line bursts. The water runs under cabinets, laminate and vinyl, where it stays out of sight until the floor swells or a cabinet base goes soft.
Common sources
- Rubber washing machine hoses that crack with age
- Dishwasher supply and drain connections
- Ice maker and refrigerator water lines
- Toilet and sink supply lines with plastic nuts
- Slow drips under a kitchen or bathroom sink

The tech maps moisture under cabinets, behind appliances and across the flooring, because water travels farther than it looks. Toe kicks come off so air can reach under the cabinets, wet baseboards are pulled, and air movers and an LGR dehumidifier dry the area. Laminate that has swollen usually comes up; tile and vinyl often stay if readings below them drop.
Catching it early
Braided steel washer hoses, leak sensors and a quick meter test, explained on the EPA WaterSense leak page, catch most of these before they spread. The CPSC recalls list shows whether an appliance or supply line has been recalled.

Common questions about appliance and supply line leaks
Do kitchen cabinets have to be removed after an appliance leak?
Usually not. Removing the toe kicks and drilling small holes lets air dry the space under them. Cabinets with swollen particleboard bases may need replacing.
Why did the floor swell days after the leak?
Laminate and particleboard soak up water slowly from the edges. Swelling a few days later means water is under the floor and needs drying.
Is water from a washing machine leak clean?
Supply water is clean. Water from the drain hose is gray water, Category 2, and wet pad and porous items it touched are usually removed.
How often should washer hoses be replaced?
Rubber hoses are commonly replaced every few years. Braided steel hoses last longer and fail less often.
Does insurance cover appliance and supply line leaks?
A sudden hose or line failure is often covered; a slow drip over months often is not. Check your own policy.
What does appliance and supply line leak cleanup cost?
Most jobs fall between $1,000 and $14,000. A quick leak in one room sits at the low end; a slow leak under cabinets and flooring pushes it higher.
