How Ice Maker Leak Cleanup Works in Higdon

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.

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 shallow kitchen puddle needs suitable extraction tools. Towels alone may leave water beneath the appliance. A cabinet compartment may hold shallow water beyond the floor puddle.

3. Map concealed moisture

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

4. Dry and verify

   A technician compares material readings with drying goals. New finishes wait until the structure is ready. A flooring installer can use the drying record before new work begins.
