How Refrigerator Leak Water Damage Works in Stella

An affected cavity should be checked before it is closed. A crew should check whether the wet area extends past the appliance.

1. Extract liquid water

   A lower ceiling stain can appear after water has crossed the kitchen floor. The crew removes surface water upstairs before working through the damp layers below.

2. Trace the wet layers

   A moisture meter can reveal wet plywood beneath a floor that looks clean. The technician marks the boundary of the affected subfloor and checks it again during drying.

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.
