How Refrigerator Leak Water Damage Works in Alturas

Extract liquid water

-
Trace the wet layers
A moisture meter can reveal wet plywood beneath a floor that looks clean. The technician marks the boundary of the affected subfloor and checks it again during drying.

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.
