How Refrigerator and Ice Maker Leak Water Cleanup Works in Saint Ansgar

1. Remove standing water

2. Find absorbed moisture

   Wall bases get checked after extraction because drywall can wick water above the floor mark.

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Dirty water on porous materials changes the work: contaminated pieces usually come out.

4. Dry and verify

   Daily readings show whether equipment placement should change as the loss dries.

• Close the refrigerator water supply valve.
• Keep clear of wet outlets behind the refrigerator.
