How Refrigerator and Ice Maker Leak Water Cleanup Works in Cherokee

1. Remove standing water

   Hard surfaces are vacuumed carefully so liquid does not keep migrating beneath baseboards.

2. Find absorbed moisture

   A room by room moisture map helps place drying gear where it will matter.

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Dirty water on porous materials changes the work: contaminated pieces usually come out.

4. Dry and verify

   Wood framing may need longer drying than nearby drywall; meters reveal the difference.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on damp materials. Fast extraction and dehumidification lower the time walls and floors remain wet.

• Close the refrigerator water supply valve.
• Keep clear of wet outlets behind the refrigerator.
• Move valuables away if safe.
• Photograph the source and damaged belongings.
• Avoid wet electrical fixtures and contaminated water.
