How Refrigerator Leak Water Damage Works in Bern

An affected cavity should be checked before it is closed. A crew should check whether the wet area extends past the appliance.

1. Extract liquid water

   Water spreading from the refrigerator can pass through open floor seams. The crew vacuums standing water and checks the area beneath the appliance before placing drying equipment.

2. Trace the wet layers

   A damp ceiling below the kitchen can indicate water between joists. Technicians check both sides of the assembly to locate the materials holding moisture.

3. Remove what cannot dry

   A swollen toe kick can conceal a damp cabinet base. Selective removal may expose the affected area without disturbing dry sections of the kitchen.

4. Verify the dry-out

   Daily readings show whether the subfloor is losing moisture. Equipment stays directed at the affected layers until the drying record supports completion.
