How Ice Maker Leak Cleanup Works in Merritt

Water beneath a refrigerator can spread where airflow is poor. Prompt access and drying limit long contact with porous materials. A moisture map separates wet material from nearby dry construction.

1. Stop the source safely

   The water damage crew checks whether the kitchen supply is closed. Continued discharge changes the extraction plan. The source status belongs in the job record before extraction proceeds.

2. Extract reachable water

   The crew removes liquid from the Merritt floor before it continues soaking into seams. Cabinet edges receive attention. The operator then checks transitions where water could cross into another room.

3. Map concealed moisture

   Hardwood cupping can indicate moisture underneath. Readings help distinguish affected boards from dry ones. The floor under the appliance receives attention if safe access permits.

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.
