How Fridge Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Pixley

1. Stop the source safely

   The water damage crew checks whether the kitchen supply is closed. Continued discharge changes the extraction plan. The source status belongs in the job record before extraction proceeds.

2. Extract reachable water

   A shallow kitchen puddle needs suitable extraction tools. Towels alone may leave water beneath the appliance. A cabinet compartment may hold shallow water beyond the floor puddle.

3. Map concealed moisture

   Moisture measurements identify whether cabinet bases or wall edges need further access. The assessor records the area that needs further drying access.

4. Dry and verify

   Cabinet and floor layers are assessed again after equipment runs. The endpoint is based on readings. Drying completion depends on material conditions rather than the calendar.

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