After the repair

Often not, because many policies exclude damage from leaks that go on for weeks. Sudden hose or valve failures are more often covered.
How can a hidden dishwasher leak be found?
Moisture meters and a thermal camera show wet spots under the floor or behind the cabinet base, even when the surface looks dry.
Can the water bill be reduced after a leak?
