Aging appliance connections may fail near laundry or kitchens. Water often spreads under nearby cabinets. A wet laundry floor can affect nearby baseboards.
Exterior hose connections can be vulnerable in deep cold. Interior wall cavities may also get wet. Moisture readings help define the affected wall area. Property owners can save records of removed materials. Those details help describe the cleanup.
