Refrigerator leak water damage cleanup in Japantown typically runs from about $350 to $1,500, depending on how long the leak went unnoticed and how much flooring or cabinetry has to be opened up. A leak caught within days of a small drip sits on the low end; one that warped a wider section of laminate or hardwood sits higher. Sudden appliance-line leaks are often covered by homeowners insurance, while long-term unmaintained leaks may be treated differently, so documenting when the leak was found matters.
