How Refrigerator Leak Water Damage Works in Calabash

Wet subfloor deserves attention before moisture remains trapped for days. Early extraction reduces the water held in porous layers.

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

   Soaked cabinet backing may block airflow to the wall cavity. The crew removes unsalvageable material when needed so the remaining structure can dry.

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.
