How Refrigerator and Ice Maker Leak Flood Cleanup Works in Montgomery

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

   Readings trace water beyond the visible puddle and into adjacent rooms. A nearby dry area can provide a useful comparison.

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

   Air movers and dehumidifiers dry materials that can stay in place. Humidity control supports evaporation from structural materials.

• Close the ice maker supply valve if safe.
• Stay out of water near electrical equipment.
• Move dry belongings away from the wet area if safe.
• Photograph wet rooms and belongings.
