In Georgetown, WA, a local crew responds to a refrigerator leak, uses IICRC-standard methods to dry the subfloor and cabinets, and documents the loss for insurance, often in under a few hours from the call.
A crew in Georgetown arrives, shuts off the ice maker water line, and carefully pulls the refrigerator forward to fully expose the wet floor, subfloor, and the base of the kitchen cabinets behind it.
Technicians extract any standing water, then use moisture meters to precisely map how far the hidden leak has traveled into the flooring materials, which is common in the area's older structures.
Air movers and dehumidifiers, sometimes with floor drying mats for hardwood, are placed to dry the affected structure. The crew takes final moisture readings to confirm the area is dry.
Refrigerator leak cleanup in Georgetown generally runs from about $700 to $3,500, depending on how long the ice-maker line leaked, whether hardwood and subfloor absorbed the water, and if flooring must be dried in place or replaced. A caught-early drip sits low, while weeks of hidden leaking that cupped a hardwood floor sits higher. The crew documents moisture readings and photos so the loss can be submitted to the carrier.
