How Ice Maker Leak Cleanup Works in Colstrip

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

   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

   A ceiling below the kitchen receives attention when water travels between floors. Unsafe sagging material stays off limits. Ceiling insulation may hold water above a visible mark.

4. Dry and verify

   The drying setup changes if a cavity remains wet. The crew documents measurements before equipment leaves. Equipment stays in place while material readings still call for drying.
