How Ice Maker Leak Cleanup Works in Graettinger

Wood and drywall can remain wet after surface wiping. Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials. Porous finishes deserve attention even when no puddle remains.

1. Stop the source safely

   A refrigerator should not be dragged across swollen floorboards. The appliance professional gains access to the source safely. Floor protection may be needed before the appliance moves.

2. Extract reachable water

   The operator focuses on standing water first. Less liquid remains to feed the subfloor after extraction. Floor edges receive another look after the obvious pool disappears.

3. Map concealed moisture

   Floor joints can hide damp material after the puddle disappears. The Graettinger technician tests nearby layers. A reading at the wall base helps define the boundary of the loss.

4. Dry and verify

   Cabinet and floor layers are assessed again after equipment runs. The endpoint is based on readings. Drying completion depends on material conditions rather than the calendar.
