How Refrigerator Leak Water Damage Works in Gowen

Porous trim can stay damp in a poorly ventilated gap. Drying equipment works on moisture that towels cannot reach.

1. Extract liquid water

   A lower ceiling stain can appear after water has crossed the kitchen floor. The crew removes surface water upstairs before working through the damp layers below.

2. Trace the wet layers

   A moisture meter can reveal wet plywood beneath a floor that looks clean. The technician marks the boundary of the affected subfloor and checks it again during drying.

3. Remove what cannot dry

   Ceiling drywall below the refrigerator may sag after absorbing water. The crew checks its condition and removes damaged sections when necessary.

4. Verify the dry-out

   The lower ceiling cavity needs its own final readings after a kitchen leak. The crew records those results before any rebuild work is quoted.
