How Refrigerator and Ice Maker Leak Water Cleanup Works in La Motte

2. Find absorbed moisture

   A thermal camera can point toward cooler damp areas, which technicians confirm with direct readings.

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Soaked carpet pad may be lifted so the floor beneath it can dry.

4. Dry and verify

   Technicians monitor humidity and material moisture, then record the results for the job file.

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.
