How Ice Maker Leak Cleanup Works in Altamont

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

   The assessor follows the water path past the refrigerator. A dry-looking surface may still cover a wet subfloor. Adjacent flooring is checked so the drying scope follows the spread.

4. Dry and verify

   The drying setup changes if a cavity remains wet. The crew documents measurements before equipment leaves. Equipment stays in place while material readings still call for drying.
