How Ice Maker Leak Cleanup Works in Franklin

Water beneath a refrigerator can spread where airflow is poor. Prompt access and drying limit long contact with porous materials. A moisture map separates wet material from nearby dry construction.

1. Stop the source safely

   A refrigerator should not be dragged across swollen floorboards. The appliance professional gains access to the source safely. Floor protection may be needed before the appliance moves.

2. Extract reachable water

   The crew selects tools suited to flooring and depth. Repeated passes recover water from reachable areas. The crew adjusts extraction passes to the surface and its condition.

3. Map concealed moisture

   Floor joints can hide damp material after the puddle disappears. The Franklin technician tests nearby layers. A reading at the wall base helps define the boundary of the loss.

4. Dry and verify

   The drying setup changes if a cavity remains wet. The crew documents measurements before equipment leaves. Equipment stays in place while material readings still call for drying.
