How Fridge Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Burbank

1. Stop the source safely

   A loose ice maker fitting needs correction before drying can hold. The technician first identifies the affected rooms. The crew notes whether the drip has stopped before planning equipment.

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 ceiling below the kitchen receives attention when water travels between floors. Unsafe sagging material stays off limits. Ceiling insulation may hold water above a visible mark.

• 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.
