Project summary
This Menifee water damage project started behind the refrigerator. A faulty appliance leak sent water into the kitchen area and into nearby flooring and carpet conditions that needed documentation before repairs and insurance scope could be reviewed correctly.
Project story
The leak started behind the refrigerator
Refrigerator leaks can be easy to miss because the water source is hidden behind the appliance. By the time the problem is noticed, water can already be under flooring, at cabinet edges, around wall openings, or into nearby carpet and pad.
Documentation showed where the water traveled
The job photos show carpet and pad pulled back, wall and appliance connection areas opened for review, and kitchen finishes documented so the repair scope could be based on the real conditions inside the home instead of a quick visual guess.
The repair scope had to match the actual damage
A kitchen water loss can involve flooring, cabinet bases, countertops, wall openings, appliance resets, trim, paint, and finish details. PL Builders approaches these jobs with mitigation, documentation, and repair planning together so the homeowner is not left with disconnected cleanup and reconstruction steps.
What PL Builders handled
- Faulty refrigerator leak from the rear of the appliance in a Menifee home.
- Kitchen water damage documentation around the refrigerator, wall opening, cabinets, flooring, carpet, and pad.
- Carpet and pad were pulled back where needed so affected materials could be reviewed.
- Kitchen repair progress was documented with photos for the homeowner and repair planning.
- Final repair planning included a broader kitchen scope after the affected materials and finish conditions were documented.
