How Ice Maker Leak Cleanup Works in Athens

Hardwood can swell when liquid reaches the underside. Early moisture mapping helps show the true floor area affected. The underside of a board may need longer than its exposed face.

1. Stop the source safely

   A refrigerator should not be dragged across swollen floorboards. The appliance professional gains access to the source safely. Floor protection may be needed before the appliance moves.

2. Extract reachable water

   A shallow kitchen puddle needs suitable extraction tools. Towels alone may leave water beneath the appliance. A cabinet compartment may hold shallow water beyond the floor puddle.

3. Map concealed moisture

   A wall base adjacent to the fridge may wick water. The crew checks beyond the original drip point. Cabinet interiors are tested when the leak path enters the base.

4. Dry and verify

   Wet material that cannot dry in place may be removed. The remaining assembly receives controlled airflow. Open cavities receive readings before they are closed again.
