Appliance Leak Cleanup & Water Damage Repair — Burnaby
Fast response to water damage from dishwasher, refrigerator, washing machine, and water heater leaks before mould sets in.
Appliance leaks are one of the most common causes of water damage in Burnaby homes — and one of the most underestimated. A slow dishwasher leak soaking into the subfloor for weeks, a refrigerator ice maker line dripping behind the fridge, a washing machine hose failure flooding a laundry room, or a water heater letting go — each scenario has its own cleanup and drying requirements, and all of them can cause far more damage than they appear to at first glance.
Common Appliance Water Damage Scenarios in Burnaby
Dishwasher floods — water saturating kitchen floors, cabinets, and subfloor. Refrigerator ice maker or water line failures — often slow leaks running behind the unit for extended periods before discovery. Washing machine hose failures — typically sudden, high-volume floods in laundry rooms. Water heater failures — tank ruptures releasing 40 to 80 gallons at once. Each requires a different extraction and drying approach.
Hidden Damage Behind Appliances
What's visible on the surface is rarely the full picture with appliance leaks. Water follows gravity and migrates through every gap. Kitchen subfloors beneath dishwashers, cabinet boxes that look intact but are saturated, wall cavities behind washing machines — we use thermal imaging and moisture meters to find and document every pocket of moisture.
Preventing Mould After an Appliance Leak
Mould doesn't need a flood to develop — a slow appliance leak behind a dishwasher can create the right moisture conditions for mould growth within days. We don't just extract and dry the visible area. We verify complete drying of the full affected zone before we close the job, because invisible moisture is where mould starts.
