How Refrigerator Leak Water Damage Works in Bitely

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet organic materials. A wet paper backing can support growth if drying is delayed.

1. Extract liquid water

   Water spreading from the refrigerator can pass through open floor seams. The crew vacuums standing water and checks the area beneath the appliance before placing drying equipment.

2. Trace the wet layers

   The seam beside an appliance can carry water under adjacent cabinets. A technician checks the cabinet base, floor finish and exposed substrate individually.

3. Remove what cannot dry

   Porous trim beside a persistent leak can remain saturated after surface extraction. The technician checks whether it can dry or needs removal.

4. Verify the dry-out

   The cabinet base and nearby boards may dry at different rates. The crew measures each material again before clearing the work area.
