Aging appliance connections may fail near laundry or kitchens. Water often spreads under nearby cabinets. A wet laundry floor can affect nearby baseboards.
Some pipes can split before a brief cold event ends. Check for leaks during the thaw. The supply should be shut off if a split is found. A basement water loss can affect stored items. Lift dry valuables away from the wet area.
