How Refrigerator and Ice Maker Leak Flood Cleanup Works in Vanderbilt

1. Remove standing water

   Extraction tools collect pooled water from carpet and hard surfaces. Edges and low points can hold residual water.

2. Map moisture

   Subfloor seams and cabinet bases receive close moisture checks. Kitchen and bath finishes can conceal wet backing.

3. Remove soaked material

   Material removal follows the water path and contamination level. The crew checks whether neighboring material is wet.

4. Dry and verify

   A technician records progress before equipment is removed. Rebuild planning follows the final dry-out check.

• Move dry belongings away from the wet area if safe.
• Photograph wet rooms and belongings.
