How Refrigerator Leak Water Damage Works in Columbia

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

   A damp ceiling below the kitchen can indicate water between joists. Technicians check both sides of the assembly to locate the materials holding moisture.

3. Remove what cannot dry

   Wet insulation beneath the kitchen can hold water against framing. Technicians assess whether it must come out before the cavity receives drying air.

4. Verify the dry-out

   Final checks include wall edges and floor seams that held water early in the loss. The technician records the dry-out before equipment is removed.
