- Check the ceiling in the unit below
Dishwasher water is treated as gray because of food and soap, so surfaces are cleaned as well as dried.
Long leaks
If the leak ran for weeks, flooring may have to come up and the cabinet base opened, because slow seepage soaks the underlayment long before a stain shows. See hardwood floor water damage for wood floors, and water heater leak cleanup for tank failures. Owners in multi-unit buildings should also tell the property manager so the unit below is checked.

Appliance and Supply Hose Leaks questions in Walker, MI
Q01How do appliance leaks go unnoticed?
They are slow and hidden under cabinets or behind the machine.
Q02Can the floor be saved?
Hard floors caught early often can, while flooring wet for weeks may have to come up.
Q03Does insurance cover a supply hose burst?
A sudden failure is often covered, while long-term seepage may not be.
Q04What about a leak in a neighbor's unit?
Photos and readings from both units help sort out responsibility.
Q05Is dishwasher water clean?
It is gray water, so surfaces are cleaned as well as dried.
Q06Can a refrigerator or ice maker leak cause the same damage?
Yes. A failed ice maker supply or an overflowing drain pan sends water under cabinets just as a washer hose does.
Q07What should be done with the appliance itself?
Leave it unplugged and pulled away from the wall until the area is dry, then let a repairer decide if it can be used again.
