How Refrigerator Leak Water Damage Works in Athens

A closed cabinet void can stay humid long after surface wiping. Moisture in a wood subfloor should be measured promptly.

1. Extract liquid water

   Water spreading from the refrigerator can pass through open floor seams. The crew vacuums standing water and checks the area beneath the appliance before placing drying equipment.

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

   The cabinet base and nearby boards may dry at different rates. The crew measures each material again before clearing the work area.

A landlord may need to coordinate access to the lower unit. A record of removed material helps the next trade plan finish work after drying.
