When to get help
Call for professional mitigation if you have standing water, wet drywall or carpet, sewage, a sagging ceiling, or any electrical risk. DryCalm is not 911 and does not give free quotes — when partner coverage exists for your ZIP, we show a number to call. Contractors are independent;
FAQs
Why do washer hoses matter so much?
Rubber supply hoses can burst and release high-pressure water for hours. Braided steel lines reduce risk; any active spray is an emergency.
Is wet particle board under cabinets a big deal?
Yes — it swells and can grow mold. Fast extraction under cabinets often matters more than the appliance repair itself.
Fridge, washer, or dishwasher — same response?
Shut the supply, unplug if dry, and dry under cabinets fast. The appliance type changes the fix, not the need to stop water damage early.
What should I say when I call about an appliance leak?
ZIP, which appliance, whether the supply is shut, and if cabinets/toe-kicks are wet. That helps them bring extraction for under-cabinet drying.
Does DryCalm give free quotes for appliance leak?
No. DryCalm is free guidance — not a quote marketplace. When partner coverage exists for your ZIP, we show a number to call an independent contractor.
Should I call before or after contacting insurance?
If unsafe, call 911 first. Otherwise stop the water if safe, photograph damage, then call your insurer and get a mitigation assessment. Order can vary by policy — document timing either way.
