How Ice Maker Leak Cleanup Works in Kaktovik

Hardwood can swell when liquid reaches the underside. Early moisture mapping helps show the true floor area affected. The underside of a board may need longer than its exposed face.

1. Stop the source safely

   The water damage crew checks whether the kitchen supply is closed. Continued discharge changes the extraction plan. The source status belongs in the job record before extraction proceeds.

2. Extract reachable water

   The operator focuses on standing water first. Less liquid remains to feed the subfloor after extraction. Floor edges receive another look after the obvious pool disappears.

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

   Cabinet and floor layers are assessed again after equipment runs. The endpoint is based on readings. Drying completion depends on material conditions rather than the calendar.
