Photograph the leak

- Under vinyl, laminate and hardwood flooring
- Inside cabinet bases and behind toe kicks
- At the bottom of nearby drywall
- In the ceiling of a unit below
The drying team checks each of these spots with a meter instead of trusting the visible puddle.
Kitchen, laundry and bathroom
Each room soaks materials differently. Kitchen cabinets are often particle board that swells and falls apart when wet, while a laundry room with a tile floor mostly needs extraction and wall bottom checks. The plan follows the materials, not a fixed routine.
Drying the floor system
Toe kicks come off, flooring lifts where moisture is trapped, and air movers and an LGR dehumidifier dry the cavity. Water in an apartment can reach the ceiling below, which is handled through ceiling leak water damage.
Gray water cleanup
Washer and dishwasher water carries soap and food residue, so affected materials are cleaned along with drying, as in water extraction.

Slow leaks can drip for weeks behind cabinets or under flooring, so a meter reading tells more than the surface does.
Do the cabinets need to be replaced?
Swollen particle board bases usually need replacing, while solid wood or sealed bases can often be dried where they stand.
Can a water bill spike point to a leak?
It can, and the City of San Diego Public Utilities Department holds unusual bills for a closer look, so a leak can support a request for an adjustment.
Is gray water from a washer harmful?
It carries soap and residue, so the materials are cleaned along with drying instead of only dried.
What if the unit below got wet?
The ceiling and walls below are dried and documented too, with a separate record for each unit.
