Removing Refrigerator Water Damage from a Mango Home

Florida homeowners know to be wary of water damage, but they may be surprised to know that homes are as much as ten times more likely to be damaged by water than fire. While fire can be a devastating disaster to endure, water comes from a variety of sources as small as a cracked pipe and as large as a torrential downpour. There are times when it can be subtle and hard to detect until it has done thousands of dollars of damage.

If you notice signs of water damage in your Mango home, SERVPRO technicians can come to your residence within hours of your call to address the source of the disaster. This team undergoes extensive training in water damage mitigation to restore your home to a preloss condition. On top of that, you can expect SERVPRO professionals to work with property owners and insurance adjusters every step of the way to ensure that cleanup is done in compliance with your policy.

Common Causes of Refrigerator Leaks
    •    A blocked defroster. This issue can stop the defrost cycle water from draining correctly.
    •    Filters. Not every refrigerator has a filter, but if yours does, it may not have been installed correctly, or it may be the wrong size.
    •    Water line leaks. If your refrigerator has an ice maker or water dispenser, a cracked hose or loose connection in the supply line can cause leaks.
    •    Drain pans. There are times when the drain pan itself can leak, so be sure to check this area for cracks. If there is persistent and overflowing condensation from the drip pan, it is time to call in a repairman.

How SERVPRO Restores Your Home
When SERVPRO technicians come to your residence, one of the things they must do is establish a drying goal. Drying goals vary based on the materials involved and the extent of the disaster. If you have a refrigerator leak that is affecting laminate flooring and drywall, for example, adequate drying needs are based on the recommended relative humidity for these materials.

To monitor drying goals, technicians use moisture content readings from dry contents unaffected by water as a frame of reference for the adequate drying needs of water-damaged materials. One of the most crucial aspects of successful drying is ensuring that relative humidity is below 40%.
