Water runs under cabinet bases and appliance feet, then beneath flooring where it cannot evaporate. Laminate and engineered boards swell at the seams, and the swelling can show long after the leak started.

Gray water from a drain
A washer drain overflow carries soap and lint, so it is gray water. The area is cleaned as well as dried, and carpet that sat in it is treated with more care than a clean supply leak.
Drying a kitchen
Toe kicks come off so air can reach the cabinet bases, and the floor is dried from above and below. Read about burst pipe damage when a supply pipe is the source, or visit the appliance leak overview. For long leaks, structural drying follows.

Answers to what homeowners ask after a hose or fitting fails.
Which appliance leaks do the most damage?
Dishwasher and washer hoses often do, because they run under pressure, but any slow leak behind a unit can soak a floor for weeks.
Is it safe to keep using an appliance that leaks?
No. Close the valve and unplug it, because water and electrical connections are a hazard together.
Can hardwood or laminate floors survive an appliance leak?

Does insurance cover a leaking dishwasher?
Sudden leaks are often covered for the resulting damage, while the appliance and slow seepage usually are not.
