How Refrigerator Leak Water Damage Works in Mount Sterling

   The seam beside an appliance can carry water under adjacent cabinets. A technician checks the cabinet base, floor finish and exposed substrate individually.

3. Remove what cannot dry

   Ceiling drywall below the refrigerator may sag after absorbing water. The crew checks its condition and removes damaged sections when necessary.

4. Verify the dry-out

   Final checks include wall edges and floor seams that held water early in the loss. The technician records the dry-out before equipment is removed.
