Dishwasher Leak

Dishwasher leaks are among the most common and insidious sources of water damage in kitchens. Because dishwashers are typically enclosed in cabinetry, leaks often go unnoticed until significant damage has already occurred to flooring, subfloors, and cabinets.

In South Florida homes, dishwashers face unique challenges. The combination of hard water, high humidity, and constant use accelerates wear on hoses, seals, and connections. Many leaks start small—a worn door gasket, a loose connection, or a cracked supply line—but the confined space under and around the dishwasher allows water to pool, soak into flooring, and travel unseen.

By the time homeowners notice warped flooring, cabinet damage, or musty odors, the water has often been leaking for days or weeks. This makes dishwasher leaks particularly prone to causing mold growth, wood rot, and structural damage to kitchen flooring.
