How Refrigerator and Ice Maker Leak Water Cleanup Works in Wilmington

1. Remove standing water

   A room by room moisture map helps place drying gear where it will matter.

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Dirty water on porous materials changes the work: contaminated pieces usually come out.

• Close the refrigerator water supply valve.
• Keep clear of wet outlets behind the refrigerator.
