How Refrigerator Leak Water Damage Works in Gifford

Porous trim can stay damp in a poorly ventilated gap. Drying equipment works on moisture that towels cannot reach.

1. Extract liquid water

   Liquid trapped against a cabinet toe kick can keep wicking upward. Technicians extract the water they can reach and mark where concealed moisture needs further attention.

2. Trace the wet layers

   The seam beside an appliance can carry water under adjacent cabinets. A technician checks the cabinet base, floor finish and exposed substrate individually.

3. Remove what cannot dry

   Ceiling drywall below the refrigerator may sag after absorbing water. The crew checks its condition and removes damaged sections when necessary.

4. Verify the dry-out

   Air movement is adjusted as wet sections change during the job. Documented moisture trends show which area still needs attention.
