Common Appliance Leaks We Handle

Water Heater Failures

Water heaters typically last 8-12 years before internal corrosion causes tank failures. When water heaters burst or develop leaks, they release 40-80 gallons of stored water plus continuous flow from supply lines. Basements, utility rooms, and garages flood quickly, with water spreading to adjacent rooms.

Rubber supply hoses deteriorate over time and burst without warning during wash cycles. Front-loading washers with door seal failures leak during operation. Drain line clogs cause overflows that flood laundry rooms and spread to hallways and lower levels.

Failed door seals, cracked supply lines, and faulty drain connections cause dishwasher leaks that often go unnoticed until significant water damage appears. Water seeps under cabinets, damaging flooring and subfloors.

Ice makers and water dispensers connect to supply lines that crack, develop pinhole leaks, or fail at connection points. These slow leaks often continue for days before discovery, causing extensive hidden damage behind and under refrigerators.

Air conditioning systems produce condensation that drains through lines that clog or disconnect. Leaking HVAC units damage ceilings, walls, and flooring around air handler locations.

Our Appliance Leak Cleanup Process

1. Immediate Emergency Response

When you call 770-741-0183, we dispatch certified technicians immediately to your Marietta property. We arrive within 60 minutes, ready to address the water damage from your appliance failure. .

2. Stop the Water Source

Our priority is to stop additional water flow. We shut off supply lines to the failed appliance, turn off the main water valve if needed, and ensure no additional water enters your home.

3. Rapid Water Extraction

Using industrial extractors and pumps, we remove standing water immediately. Our emergency water extraction equipment prevents water from spreading to additional areas and causing more damage.

4. Damage Assessment & Documentation

We thoroughly assess the extent of water damage, checking for hidden moisture in walls, under flooring, and in adjacent rooms. Complete documentation with photos and moisture readings supports insurance claims.

5. Moisture Detection

Water from appliance leaks migrates into wall cavities, under cabinets, and beneath flooring, where it's invisible but causes significant damage. We use thermal imaging and moisture meters to locate all affected areas. Our moisture detection and removal services ensure complete water removal.

6. Structural Drying

We position commercial dehumidifiers and air movers strategically throughout affected areas. Georgia's humidity requires thorough drying to prevent mold growth. Our structural drying services typically complete moisture removal within 3-5 days.

7. Antimicrobial Treatment

All water-damaged surfaces receive antimicrobial treatment to prevent mold growth. In Marietta's humid climate, mold can begin developing within 24-48 hours of water intrusion.

8. Content Cleaning & Restoration

We clean and restore salvageable contents affected by the appliance leak, including furniture, boxes, and personal items stored near the failed appliance.

9. Complete Restoration

After drying and sanitization, we rebuild damaged areas including flooring replacement, drywall repair, cabinet restoration, and painting. We restore your home to pre-loss condition.

Water Damage Patterns from Different Appliances

Water Heater Leak Damage – Water heaters in basements flood the entire lower level rapidly. Units in garages send water under walls into adjacent living spaces. Closet installations cause vertical water damage through multiple floors as water cascades downward.

Washing Machine Leak Damage – Laundry rooms on upper floors cause the most extensive damage as water travels downward through floor joists, damaging ceilings and walls on lower levels. First-floor installations affect basements and crawl spaces beneath.

Dishwasher Leak Damage – Water pools under cabinets, warping hardwood floors, and damaging subflooring. Adjacent cabinets absorb moisture, causing deterioration that often isn’t discovered until extensive damage exists.

Refrigerator Leak Damage – Slow leaks behind refrigerators damage flooring, baseboards, and drywall. Water wicks up walls and travels under adjacent cabinets before discovery.

Preventing Appliance Leaks in Marietta Homes

Water Heater Protection:

  • Replace water heaters every 10-12 years
  • Drain and flush tanks annually
  • Install water heater pans with drain lines
  • Consider tankless water heaters in vulnerable locations
  • Replace aging anode rods to extend tank life
  • Install automatic shutoff valves that detect leaks

Washing Machine Prevention:

  • Replace rubber supply hoses every 5 years
  • Use braided stainless steel hoses instead of rubber
  • Turn off supply valves between uses
  • Install washing machine overflow pans
  • Check drain lines for clogs regularly
  • Don’t overload machines, causing seal failures

Dishwasher Maintenance:

  • Inspect door seals annually for wear
  • Check supply line connections for leaks
  • Ensure proper drain line installation
  • Don’t overload the detergent, causing excess suds
  • Run empty vinegar cycles, preventing buildup

Refrigerator Care:

  • Replace water lines every 10 years
  • Use copper or braided steel lines, not plastic
  • Check connections behind the refrigerator quarterly
  • Ensure proper drain line clearance
  • Install water leak detectors near refrigerators

General Protection:

  • Install whole-house water leak detection systems
  • Know where your main water shutoff is located
  • Inspect appliances regularly for signs of leaks
  • Address small leaks immediately before they worsen

Insurance Coverage for Appliance Leaks

Homeowner’s insurance typically covers sudden appliance failures like burst water heaters and washing machine line ruptures. However, coverage may be denied for gradual leaks from poor maintenance or aging appliances showing obvious deterioration.

We provide comprehensive documentation including photos, moisture readings, and detailed estimates supporting your insurance claim. Our experience working with insurance companies helps ensure appropriate coverage for appliance leak damage.

Hidden Damage from Appliance Leaks

Appliance leaks often cause more damage than initially visible:

Under Flooring: Water seeps beneath vinyl, laminate, and hardwood flooring, causing warping, bubbling, and subfloor deterioration that isn’t apparent until flooring is removed.

Inside Walls: Water travels down wall cavities from upper-level appliance leaks, saturating insulation and drywall on lower floors before visible staining appears.

Behind Cabinets: Dishwasher and sink leaks damage cabinet boxes, kick plates, and walls behind cabinets, where moisture hides for weeks causing extensive deterioration.

Ceiling Damage: Upper-level washing machine leaks saturate ceiling, drywall, and insulation before visible staining appears on ceilings below.

Our thorough inspection identifies all hidden damage, preventing future problems from undiscovered moisture.

Mold Risks After Appliance Leaks

Many appliance leaks go unnoticed for hours or days, giving mold time to begin growing. Georgia’s humidity accelerates mold development, with colonies forming within 24-48 hours of water intrusion.

Common mold locations after appliance leaks:

  • Behind and under appliances
  • Inside wall cavities near leak sources
  • Underflooring in laundry rooms and kitchens
  • Inside cabinets below sinks and dishwashers
  • In ceiling cavities below upper-level leaks

Our appliance leak cleanup includes mold prevention treatments. If mold has already developed, our mold remediation specialists handle safe removal. We also provide air quality testing confirming your home is safe.
