A leak can pay for its own paperwork
Fulton County offers water and sewer account adjustments for leaks that are not routine and could not be prevented by proper maintenance. The request is made after repair, with a Leak Adjustment Request Form and a repair statement, so the statement from the appliance fix is worth keeping.
Where the water hides
Water from a kitchen or laundry runs under cabinet bases, behind toe kicks and into the subfloor. In an upstairs laundry it drops through the floor into the ceiling below. The crew checks with a moisture meter, removes baseboards and lifts cabinet kicks so air can dry the cavity.
Drying the room
After the extraction, air movers and a dehumidifier run until the cabinets, trim and subfloor read dry. Leaks tied to a tank follow the same path, so water heater leaks and other water extraction jobs share the work.
