How Ice Maker Leak Cleanup Works in Marathon

A closed cabinet base slows evaporation. The technician checks the cavity before placing drying equipment. Opening a covered space can let targeted airflow reach its back surface.

1. Stop the source safely

   A refrigerator should not be dragged across swollen floorboards. The appliance professional gains access to the source safely. Floor protection may be needed before the appliance moves.

2. Extract reachable water

   A cabinet base may hold water behind its front panel. The crew checks for access before drying it. A wet base can hide liquid behind a removable front panel.

3. Map concealed moisture

   A wall base adjacent to the fridge may wick water. The crew checks beyond the original drip point. Cabinet interiors are tested when the leak path enters the base.

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.
