How Fridge Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Clawson

1. Stop the source safely

   An accessible shutoff can limit the Clawson refrigerator leak when the floor is dry. The appliance technician handles the failed connection. Photographs of the first puddle help show where the release began.

2. Extract reachable water

   A shallow kitchen puddle needs suitable extraction tools. Towels alone may leave water beneath the appliance. A cabinet compartment may hold shallow water beyond the floor puddle.

3. Map concealed moisture

   Hardwood cupping can indicate moisture underneath. Readings help distinguish affected boards from dry ones. The floor under the appliance receives attention if safe access permits.

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.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

A closed cabinet base slows evaporation. The technician checks the cavity before placing drying equipment. Opening a covered space can let targeted airflow reach its back surface.

• Keep people away from a bulging or dripping lower ceiling.
• Do not touch a wet light, switch or electrical panel.
• Close a safe, reachable refrigerator supply valve or main shutoff.
• Photograph the ceiling and kitchen water from stable dry areas.
• Call (888) 578-4720 and mention the ceiling room and any wet fixtures.
