A small ice maker tube or refrigerator water connection leaking can send water behind the refrigerator and underneath kitchen floor coverings. Hardwood, laminate edges, cabinet toe kicks and subfloor may stay damp beyond the visible pool. A slow tube leak can wet an entire floor assembly without leaving a large visible pool.
The first safe step is controlling the source. Afterward, a local crew extracts liquid, checks cavities and monitors drying, leaving new drywall or flooring for the rebuild stage.
