How Refrigerator Leak Water Damage Works in Gauley Bridge

A closed cabinet void can stay humid long after surface wiping. Moisture in a wood subfloor should be measured promptly.

1. Extract liquid water

   Liquid trapped against a cabinet toe kick can keep wicking upward. Technicians extract the water they can reach and mark where concealed moisture needs further attention.

2. Trace the wet layers

   Finished hardwood may be dry on top while the underside stays wet. Separate readings from the boards and substrate shape the drying approach.

3. Remove what cannot dry

   Ceiling drywall below the refrigerator may sag after absorbing water. The crew checks its condition and removes damaged sections when necessary.

4. Verify the dry-out

   The lower ceiling cavity needs its own final readings after a kitchen leak. The crew records those results before any rebuild work is quoted.
