First steps for appliance and supply hose leaks in Chula Vista
Pull the plug
Unplug the appliance and shut its supply valve before touching the wet floor.
Move the unit
Slide the appliance out only if it is safe, and lift contents off the floor.
Soak up what shows
Use towels on surface water, but leave deeper extraction to the crew.
Photograph the leak
Record the hose, the fitting and the wet areas.
Appliance leaks are slow and sneaky. A washer hose drips behind the machine, a dishwasher seal weeps under the counter and an ice maker fitting seeps into the floor for weeks. By the time a stain shows, flooring and cabinet bases are already wet.
