Refrigerators leaking water onto historic floors
Why it happens here
Older homes in the King Street Corridor often have refrigerators in tight cabinets with poor airflow. That causes the defrost drain to clog and water to pool under the unit, which is bad news for original hardwood.
Our approach
We clear the drain line with a vacuum pump, replace the drain pan if cracked, and check the door gasket. We also look at airflow around the unit and tell you if the cabinet needs a vent.
