How Fridge Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Swanton

1. Stop the source safely

   The water damage crew checks whether the kitchen supply is closed. Continued discharge changes the extraction plan. The source status belongs in the job record before extraction proceeds.

2. Extract reachable water

   The crew removes liquid from the Swanton floor before it continues soaking into seams. Cabinet edges receive attention. The operator then checks transitions where water could cross into another room.

3. Map concealed moisture

   Floor joints can hide damp material after the puddle disappears. The Swanton 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.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

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.

• Keep people away from a bulging or dripping lower ceiling.
• Do not touch a wet light, switch or electrical panel.
• Close a safe, reachable refrigerator supply valve or main shutoff.
• Photograph the ceiling and kitchen water from stable dry areas.
• Call (888) 578-4720 and mention the ceiling room and any wet fixtures.
