How Ice Maker Line Leak Cleanup Works in Athens

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

   A cabinet base may hold water behind its front panel. The crew checks for access before drying it. A wet base can hide liquid behind a removable front panel.

3. Map concealed moisture

   The assessor follows the water path past the refrigerator. A dry-looking surface may still cover a wet subfloor. Adjacent flooring is checked so the drying scope follows the spread.

4. Dry and verify

   Wet material that cannot dry in place may be removed. The remaining assembly receives controlled airflow. Open cavities receive readings before they are closed again.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Hardwood can swell when liquid reaches the underside. Early moisture mapping helps show the true floor area affected. The underside of a board may need longer than its exposed face.

• Close the ice maker supply valve if it is reachable without stepping into water.
• Keep hands away from wet refrigerator plugs and outlets.
• Do not pull a heavy refrigerator across softened flooring.
• Photograph exposed water and damaged cabinet edges from a safe spot.
• Call (888) 578-4720 and mention any water visible below the kitchen.
