How Ice Maker Leak Cleanup Works in Baldwin

Hardwood can swell when liquid reaches the underside. Early moisture mapping helps show the true floor area affected. The underside of a board may need longer than its exposed face.

1. Stop the source safely

   The water damage crew checks whether the kitchen supply is closed. Continued discharge changes the extraction plan. The source status belongs in the job record before extraction proceeds.

2. Extract reachable water

   The crew removes liquid from the Baldwin floor before it continues soaking into seams. Cabinet edges receive attention. The operator then checks transitions where water could cross into another room.

3. Map concealed moisture

   The assessor follows the water path past the refrigerator. A dry-looking surface may still cover a wet subfloor. Adjacent flooring is checked so the drying scope follows the spread.

4. Dry and verify

   Wet material that cannot dry in place may be removed. The remaining assembly receives controlled airflow. Open cavities receive readings before they are closed again.
