What Refrigerator and Ice Maker Leak Flood Cleanup Includes in Lanark
When refrigerator and ice maker leak flood cleanup affects several rooms, extraction starts with the pooled water. Drying equipment then addresses remaining moisture. Affected materials are assessed before a drying plan is set.
With ice maker leak, a slow stream can run behind the appliance and under hardwood without a large surface puddle. Moisture may remain in hardwood, subfloor, baseboards and ceiling below.

- Stay out of water near electrical equipment.
- Move dry belongings away from the wet area if safe.

Gray polybutylene was installed in many homes during these decades and has a known failure history. The crew dries any resulting loss. That history does not replace an inspection of the actual pipe.
Winter pipe losses can soak insulation and drywall. The crew checks both before drying. Insulation condition matters to the drying plan.
