Only 44.0 percent of Marietta housing units are owner-occupied, so many of these leaks are reported by renters to landlords, and clear photos of the first wet spot help.

The tech who does the walkthrough maps moisture before any equipment goes down, so the plan matches what is actually wet. Equipment stays until the readings say dry.
Extract the water
Pumps and wand tools clear standing water from floors and cabinet bases.
Open trapped areas
Toe kicks, baseboards and flooring edges are pulled so the cavity can breathe.
Dry the layers
Air movers and a small dehumidifier dry the cabinet base, subfloor and wall bottom.
Check the readings
Readings are logged on each visit until the materials are dry.
Where trapped water hides
Water from an appliance rarely stays on top of the floor. It slips under toe kicks, behind baseboards and beneath laminate or vinyl, where it sits against the subfloor. A moisture meter and thermal camera find these spots without tearing out the whole kitchen or laundry room, so only what is wet is opened.
- Toe kicks and cabinet bases beside the appliance
- Laminate, vinyl and hardwood over the wet subfloor
- Wall bottoms behind the washer or dishwasher
- Ceilings below when the appliance sits upstairs

(888) 532-4616Marietta leak helpClean or gray water
A supply hose leak is clean water at first, while a washer drain or dishwasher overflow carries soap and food and counts as gray water. Gray water changes what can be dried and what is removed, and padding or porous finishes usually come out.
Upstairs appliances
A washer on a second floor can send water through the ceiling below, so the crew checks both levels. For leaks that started in a wall pipe, see burst pipe water damage, and for the equipment plan see structural drying.

Appliance and Supply Hose Leaks questions in Marietta, GA
Water still spreading?
Shut off the water if you can and keep clear of wet outlets. Dispatch runs 24/7.
(888) 532-4616 Marietta leak helpWhat appliances leak most often?
Washers, dishwashers, refrigerator ice makers and sink supply hoses fail often because rubber hoses age and fittings loosen. Checking hoses and replacing worn ones lowers the odds of a leak.
Is the water from a washer hose clean?
A supply hose carries clean water, but a washer drain or dishwasher overflow carries soap and debris and is treated as gray water. That distinction decides what is dried and what is removed.
Who pays when a tenant's washer leaks?
That depends on the lease, the cause and the policies involved, so a written report to the landlord is the first step. With only 44.0 percent of homes owner-occupied, these reports are common.
Can cabinets be saved after a leak?
Solid cabinet bases can often be dried in place if the leak is caught early, with toe kicks pulled for airflow. Swollen particleboard or loose laminate is usually replaced.
How can owners find a slow hose leak?
Look for damp toe kicks, a musty smell, buckled flooring or a rising water bill. A moisture meter can confirm hidden wet spots in the floor and cabinet base.
Dry what the hose soaked
The drying team extracts the water, opens trapped spots and dries cabinets and subfloors so the damage stays small.
