How Fridge Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Fontana Dam

1. Stop the source safely

2. Extract reachable water

   The crew selects tools suited to flooring and depth. Repeated passes recover water from reachable areas. The crew adjusts extraction passes to the surface and its condition.

3. Map concealed moisture

   Hardwood cupping can indicate moisture underneath. Readings help distinguish affected boards from dry ones. The floor under the appliance receives attention if safe access permits.

4. Dry and verify

• Close a safe, reachable refrigerator supply valve or main shutoff.
