When a washer hose or fridge line lets go, Appliance Leak Water Extraction in Florida from Florida Aero Dry Restoration pulls the standing water out before it reaches your subfloor. We run truck-mounted extractors, set drying equipment the same visit, and document everything for your claim. One call, and the water stops winning.
Appliance Leak Water Extraction in Florida is the process of removing standing water released by a failed supply line, drain hose, or appliance seal, then drying the structure to ANSI/IICRC S500 standards. It starts with shutting off the supply and confirming the source with a borescope camera, then pulling water with a truck-mounted extractor or portable unit. We map moisture with meters and a thermal imaging camera, set air movers and dehumidifiers, and treat affected materials with an antimicrobial solution before anything gets closed back up.
In Florida, appliance leaks hit harder than in most states. Slab-on-grade construction means water has nowhere to drain, and our year-round humidity keeps subfloors and wall cavities wet long after the surface looks dry. A dishwasher line that drips for two days can wick into baseboards and feed mold growth within 24 to 48 hours. That is why Florida appliance leak water removal is not a shop-vac job. You need extraction, airflow, and moisture readings that prove the structure is dry.
Every appliance leak job we run includes source confirmation, extraction, drying equipment, daily monitoring, and a written drying report. If demolition or mold treatment is needed, we tell you before we start and price it clearly. Here is what you get on a standard job.
We locate the failed line, seal, or valve with a borescope camera and confirm no second leak is feeding the water. The appliance is isolated so it cannot leak again while we work.
Truck-mounted water extractor for bulk water, portable extraction unit for cabinets and tight spaces. We pull water from under the appliance, from floor seams, and from any adjacent room it reached.
Air movers, a desiccant dehumidifier, and floor drying mats or wall cavity drying vents sized to the affected area. Equipment runs two to four days on most jobs, longer if water reached the subfloor.
We return each day to log moisture meter and thermal imaging readings, adjust equipment placement, and confirm the structure is trending dry. You see the numbers, not just the equipment.
Affected framing, baseboards, and subfloor get an antimicrobial solution to stop mold growth before it starts. HEPA air scrubbers run during any demolition to keep spores out of the rest of your home.
Final photos, moisture logs, and an Xactimate scope you can hand to your adjuster. If repairs are needed after drying, we tell you what to fix and why before you close anything back up.
Call us and we start triage on the phone: shut off the supply valve, kill power to the appliance, and move what you can off the wet floor. We dispatch the nearest crew and give you a realistic arrival window. Nights, weekends, and holidays are covered.
On arrival we confirm the source with a borescope camera, check for a slab leak or a second failed connection, and isolate the appliance. A moisture meter and infrared thermometer map how far the water traveled. This takes 20 to 40 minutes and tells us exactly what we are extracting.
A truck-mounted water extractor handles the bulk of the standing water, with a portable extraction unit for tight cabinets and closets. We pull water from under the appliance, from floor seams, and from any flooded basement or adjacent room. Most jobs are extracted in two to four hours.
We set air movers and a desiccant dehumidifier sized to the affected area, add floor drying mats or wall cavity drying vents where water went under or inside the structure, and start a HEPA air scrubber if demolition is needed. Equipment runs two to four days on most jobs.
We return daily to log moisture readings and adjust the setup. When the structure hits dry standard, we pull the equipment, take final photos, and hand you a drying report. If repairs are needed, we tell you what to fix and why before you close anything back up.
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians — so the job is done accurately the first time.
Pulls hundreds of gallons an hour from tile, vinyl, and carpeted floors. Handles the bulk of standing water on any appliance leak job.
Reaches under cabinets, inside closets, and into tight spaces where the truck mount cannot go. Essential for dishwasher and refrigerator leaks.
Finds wet zones behind walls and under floors without demolition. Shows exactly how far the water traveled from the appliance.
Confirms the failed line, seal, or valve inside a wall cavity or behind an appliance. Prevents us from chasing the wrong source.
Pulls moisture out of the air faster than a standard refrigerant unit, which matters in Florida's humid climate. Keeps drying on schedule.
Force air under hardwood, tile, and into wall cavities where water hides. The difference between a surface-dry floor and a dry structure.
Filters mold spores and dust out of the air during demolition and drying. Keeps the rest of your home clean while we work.
A washer supply line split while the homeowner was at work. Water ran for six hours, soaking the laundry room tile, the adjacent hallway carpet, and the baseboards. Carpet pad was saturated and the wall cavity behind the washer box was wet.
We extracted 40 gallons in three hours, pulled the wet carpet pad, and set air movers, a desiccant dehumidifier, and wall cavity drying vents. Moisture readings hit dry standard in three days. No mold, no warped baseboards.
A seasonal condo sat empty for two months with a slow ice maker line leak. Water wicked under the kitchen tile and into the cabinet toe kick. The first sign was a musty smell when the owner returned.
Thermal imaging found the wet zone without tearing out the whole floor. We extracted from the cabinet base, dried the subfloor with floor drying mats, and treated the framing with antimicrobial solution. Dry in four days.
A dishwasher drain hose split and dumped water into the cabinet base on every cycle for a week. The particleboard cabinet bottom swelled and delaminated, and water spread under the kitchen tile into the dining room.
We extracted from the cabinet and the dining room, removed the swollen cabinet bottom, dried the subfloor and adjacent wall, and documented everything in Xactimate. The insurance claim covered extraction, drying, and cabinet repair.
Most appliance leaks look minor until you pull the appliance out. These are the problems we see most often and how we handle them.
Ask a pro →We extract standing water the same visit, pull the baseboards to check the wall cavity, and set wall cavity drying vents if water got inside. Antimicrobial treatment goes on the framing before anything is closed back up.
A thermal imaging camera finds the wet zone without tearing out the whole floor. We extract what is there, dry the subfloor with floor drying mats, and confirm dry standard before we leave.
We extract from the cabinet base, remove any swollen material, dry the cabinet and subfloor, and document the damage for your claim. If the cabinet bottom is too far gone, we tell you before you spend money on drying it.
We extract the bulk water with a truck-mounted unit, pull water from adjacent rooms, and dry the whole affected area. We coordinate with your plumber on the tank replacement so drying and repair do not conflict.
“Our dishwasher supply line split on a Saturday night and water was under the tile by morning. Florida Aero Dry pulled it out in about three hours and had air movers running before noon. They logged moisture readings every day and showed me the numbers going down. No mold, no warped cabinets, and the insurance scope matched what they did.”
Marisol R.Homeowner, Port St. Lucie
✓ Verified“A fridge line leaked into the unit below mine. I called at 6 a.m. and a crew was there by 8. They used a thermal camera to find where the water had traveled behind the wall and dried it without tearing out more than they had to. They also handled the HOA paperwork side, which I did not expect.”
Derek T.Condo Owner, Sunny Isles Beach
✓ Verified“We manage 40 units and washer leaks are a constant. Florida Aero Dry has handled six of them for us. Every time they extract fast, dry to a documented standard, and send the report the same week. Their pricing is upfront and they do not pad the scope. That is why we keep calling.”
Angela P.Property Manager, Clearwater
✓ VerifiedMost residential appliance leak jobs in Florida run $450 to $1,800 in 2026, depending on how much water spread and how many rooms it reached. A single washer or dishwasher leak contained to one room usually lands at the low end. Water that ran under tile into a hallway or soaked carpet pad pushes it higher. Extraction, equipment setup, daily monitoring, and a drying report are included in the scope we quote.
A licensed restoration company handles the water removal and drying; a licensed plumber handles the failed line or valve itself. We extract the water, dry the structure, and document the damage, and we can refer a plumber for the repair if you do not have one. Do not run the appliance again until the supply line or seal has been replaced and tested.
The three most common causes are a cracked supply line, a clogged or split drain hose, and a failed door or tub seal. Florida's heat and humidity age rubber and plastic lines faster than in drier climates, so a line that looks fine can split without warning. Shut off the supply, pull the appliance out if you can, and call for extraction before the water reaches your subfloor.
Sudden and accidental appliance leaks are usually covered, including extraction and drying, while long-term seepage is often excluded. That is why documentation matters. We photograph the failed part, log moisture readings, and scope the work in Xactimate so your adjuster can see exactly what happened and when. Call us and we will walk you through what your policy likely covers.
