Extract liquid water
An ice maker tube can release a steady trickle behind a cabinet. Extraction begins at the visible puddle and continues along the path into nearby flooring.

Remove what cannot dry
Porous trim beside a persistent leak can remain saturated after surface extraction. The technician checks whether it can dry or needs removal.

Verify the dry-out
