How Refrigerator and Ice Maker Leak Flood Cleanup Works in Douglas

1. Remove standing water

   The technician begins with the rooms holding the most water. Electrical hazards are addressed before wet-room access.

2. Map moisture

   Subfloor seams and cabinet bases receive close moisture checks. Kitchen and bath finishes can conceal wet backing.

3. Remove soaked material

   The crew opens wet wall areas when access is needed for drying. A technician records the material taken out.

• Close the ice maker supply valve if safe.
• Stay out of water near electrical equipment.
• Move dry belongings away from the wet area if safe.
• Photograph wet rooms and belongings.
