A dishwasher or supply hose can also leak, so the location of a puddle does not establish a slab source. A plumber identifies the cause. The restoration crew handles the water damage from the confirmed loss.

The answer depends on whether moisture is trapped beneath or behind them. A technician checks toe kicks and cabinet bases before deciding on access. Limited opening may be enough in some kitchens.
