How Refrigerator Leak Water Damage Works in Athens

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

1. Extract liquid water

   An ice maker tube can release a steady trickle behind a cabinet. Extraction begins at the visible puddle and continues along the path into nearby flooring.

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

   Waterlogged underlayment beneath laminate may not dry in place. The team documents and removes affected material as the drying plan requires.

4. Verify the dry-out

   The lower ceiling cavity needs its own final readings after a kitchen leak. The crew records those results before any rebuild work is quoted.
