How Refrigerator Leak Water Damage Works in Matthews

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

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

   A slow dispenser drip can spread in a narrow channel along the wall. Mapping that path shows where extraction and air movement are needed.

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

   A clean-looking floor can still contain moisture below its finish. Technicians compare follow-up measurements with the drying targets for that material.
