Drying under cabinets and floors
Water that runs under base cabinets and laminate does not dry on its own. The drying team removes toe kicks and baseboards, drills small vent holes where walls are wet and blows dry air into the cavities. Floating floors may come up if water is trapped under them. Clean supply water is Category 1, but washer drain water is Category 2, which means more removals. Water that reached the floor below is handled with water extraction.
Catching leaks early
Braided steel hoses, a drain pan under the washer and a leak alarm under the sink cut most losses. EPA WaterSense lists simple leak checks, and the Department of Energy Energy Saver page covers appliance care.
