How Refrigerator and Ice Maker Leak Water Cleanup Works in Shepherd

1. Remove standing water

   Cabinet cavities and subfloors receive attention where a small leak may have spread sideways.

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Opening a trapped assembly gives air a path to the wet material inside.

4. Dry and verify

   Technicians monitor humidity and material moisture, then record the results for the job file.
