Appliance Leak Water Damage in Lewisville, TX
More than half of occupied homes in Lewisville are rented, so a failed washer hose or dishwasher fitting often spreads between units. A hose that bursts runs until someone shuts the valve; a slow drip rots a cabinet base for months. The drying team finds where the water went.

Why appliance leaks travel in Lewisville
With more than half of occupied units renter-occupied, one failed hose in a shared building can reach the ceiling of the unit below or the wall of the one beside it. Kitchens and laundry areas are the usual starting points: ice-maker tubes behind a fridge, dishwasher connections under a sink and washer hoses at the wall.
Planks laid over concrete spread the problem, because the water runs under them and settles on the slab. A floor can feel fine underfoot while the concrete below stays wet for days.
- Washer hoses past their prime
- Ice-maker tubes that kinked or split
- Dishwasher fittings that worked loose
- A fridge filter housing that weeps
Finding water you cannot see
The tech checks under cabinets, along baseboards and beneath flooring with meters before deciding what comes up. Wood floors get their own protocol under hardwood floor drying, and a leak that stained the unit below follows ceiling leak drying. Everything lifted is logged so each party's insurer sees the same record, whether that is an owner, a tenant or both.

How old is too old for a washer hose?
Plan on replacing rubber hoses about every five years or so. Braided stainless hoses burst less often, but they still age and deserve a look now and then.
The floor looks dry. Can I trust that?
Appearances mislead here. Water can sit on the slab under planks while the surface feels dry, so a moisture meter is the only honest answer.
Do cabinets have to be torn out?
Frequently they stay. Warm air is blown under the toe kick or through small drilled holes, and only particleboard that has swollen apart gets swapped out.
I rent. Who pays when a neighbor's leak reaches my unit?
That depends on the lease and the policies, and these losses often involve the owner and each tenant's insurer. Tell the property office right away and keep your photographs.
Is appliance leak damage covered?
Insurers tend to treat a sudden hose burst differently from a leak that dripped for weeks. Coverage depends on your policy, so it is worth checking with your own insurer.
Can I use the kitchen while it dries?
Mostly, though a few air movers will be in the way. The crew places them to leave a path to the sink and the stove.
