How Ice Maker Leak Cleanup Works in Garfield

A wet ceiling below the kitchen may hold water above the visible stain. The crew assesses safe access and soaked material. A sagging area should remain unoccupied until it is assessed safely.

1. Stop the source safely

   The owner keeps away from wet outlets while a qualified trade addresses any electrical hazard. Extraction begins when access is safe. Wet cords remain untouched until the electrical condition is addressed.

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

   Moisture measurements identify whether cabinet bases or wall edges need further access. The assessor records the area that needs further drying access.

4. Dry and verify

   The crew records the drying course for the property owner. A final check covers the known wet areas. The technician notes any remaining area that needs reassessment.
