How Refrigerator Leak Water Damage Works in Startex

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

   When water reaches the kitchen threshold, technicians remove accessible liquid in both rooms. Early extraction leaves less moisture for the subfloor to absorb.

2. Trace the wet layers

   The seam beside an appliance can carry water under adjacent cabinets. A technician checks the cabinet base, floor finish and exposed substrate individually.

3. Remove what cannot dry

   Ceiling drywall below the refrigerator may sag after absorbing water. The crew checks its condition and removes damaged sections when necessary.

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.
