What Ice Maker Line Leak Cleanup Includes in Bourbonnais

A small drip behind the refrigerator can run for hours without entering the open floor. Water collects under the appliance, follows grout or plank joints, and wets the wall base where a towel cannot reach.

When a kitchen ceiling below becomes wet, appliance work alone does not dry the assembly. A water damage technician checks the ceiling and floor. A downstairs ceiling may require access before trapped water can dry.
