How Refrigerator and Ice Maker Leak Water Cleanup Works in Garnavillo

1. Remove standing water

   Carpet and pad need more than surface wiping; a local crew presses extraction tools across the wet area.

2. Find absorbed moisture

   Cabinet cavities and subfloors receive attention where a small leak may have spread sideways.

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Laminate that has swollen at the seams often cannot be dried back to its former shape.

4. Dry and verify

   Wood framing may need longer drying than nearby drywall; meters reveal the difference.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

A clean looking surface can conceal moist wood underneath. The crew uses meters to find those areas and keeps air moving until readings reach the drying target.

• Close the refrigerator water supply valve.
• Keep clear of wet outlets behind the refrigerator.
• Move valuables away if safe.
• Photograph the source and damaged belongings.
• Avoid wet electrical fixtures and contaminated water.
