How Refrigerator and Ice Maker Leak Water Cleanup Works in Latham

1. Remove standing water

   For a large indoor pool, the team first lowers the level before addressing saturated finishes.

2. Find absorbed moisture

   Cabinet cavities and subfloors receive attention where a small leak may have spread sideways.

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Opening a trapped assembly gives air a path to the wet material inside.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers encourage evaporation while dehumidifiers capture moisture from the air.

• Close the refrigerator water supply valve.
• Keep clear of wet outlets behind the refrigerator.

• Photograph the source and damaged belongings.
• Avoid wet electrical fixtures and contaminated water.
