How Ice Maker Leak Cleanup Works in Wilmette

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 selects tools suited to flooring and depth. Repeated passes recover water from reachable areas. The crew adjusts extraction passes to the surface and its condition.

3. Map concealed moisture

   A wall base adjacent to the fridge may wick water. The crew checks beyond the original drip point. Cabinet interiors are tested when the leak path enters the base.

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.
