How Fridge Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Flora

1. Stop the source safely

   An accessible shutoff can limit the Flora refrigerator leak when the floor is dry. The appliance technician handles the failed connection. Photographs of the first puddle help show where the release began.

2. Extract reachable water

   The crew removes liquid from the Flora floor before it continues soaking into seams. Cabinet edges receive attention. The operator then checks transitions where water could cross into another room.

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

   The drying setup changes if a cavity remains wet. The crew documents measurements before equipment leaves. Equipment stays in place while material readings still call for drying.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Hardwood can swell when liquid reaches the underside. Early moisture mapping helps show the true floor area affected. The underside of a board may need longer than its exposed face.

• Keep people away from a bulging or dripping lower ceiling.
• Do not touch a wet light, switch or electrical panel.
• Close a safe, reachable refrigerator supply valve or main shutoff.
• Photograph the ceiling and kitchen water from stable dry areas.
• Call (888) 578-4720 and mention the ceiling room and any wet fixtures.
