A slow drip behind the fridge can warp flooring for weeks before anyone notices. Damp Solving Water and Mold gets to most Orlando kitchens in about an hour, IICRC-standard and local.
Crews pull the fridge out, inspect the ice maker line, water valve, and defrost drain, and shut off the supply to stop active leaking.
Standing water is extracted and a moisture meter checks the subfloor, baseboards, and adjoining flooring for hidden saturation.
Air movers and a dehumidifier dry the floor cavity and any cabinet toe kicks affected, with daily moisture checks until levels are normal.
Cupped or swollen flooring boards are replaced to match, and baseboards are reinstalled once the subfloor reads dry.
While help is on the way, these first steps, done only where it is safe, limit the damage and protect the insurance claim.
Shut the supply off at the source, or close the home's main valve if the source is not obvious. Stopping the flow limits the damage more than anything else.
Switch off electricity to the affected area, but only if the breaker can be reached without standing in or touching the water.
Get a crew dispatched right away. The sooner extraction and drying begin, the more flooring, drywall, and belongings can be saved.
Take photos and a short video of the water and the affected rooms before anything is moved, so the insurance claim starts strong.
A refrigerator leak caught early usually runs $350 to $1,200 for extraction and drying alone. If flooring has already cupped or subfloor needs replacement, the range moves to $1,200 to $3,500 depending on square footage. Insurance often covers sudden supply line failure but may exclude damage from a leak that went unnoticed for weeks. Crews document the timeline as best crews can to support your claim.

Look for warped or discolored flooring near the unit, a musty smell in the kitchen, or a puddle when you pull the fridge out. Slow leaks often show up as soft or cupped flooring before you ever see standing water.
For a small, fresh spill, towels and a fan may be enough. If water has been sitting for more than a day or the flooring already feels soft, professional drying equipment and moisture readings are needed to prevent mold under the surface.
Sudden failures like a cracked supply line are typically covered. Damage from a slow leak that built up over weeks or months is more likely to be denied, which is why fast response matters as soon as you notice a problem.
Usually not. Crews can often match and replace only the affected boards or tiles, though if water traveled further than expected under the surface, a wider section may need to come up.
Most refrigerator leak jobs dry in two to four days with commercial air movers and a dehumidifier running continuously, though subfloor saturation can extend that timeline slightly.
Orlando crews are on call 24 hours a day, local and fast, and can be on the way within the hour.
