Turn-of-the-century bungalows in Hillcrest carry original cast-iron plumbing that corrodes silently until a refrigerator leak soaks the subfloor. The IICRC-standard crews dry it fast and document for your insurance claim.
Crews slide the refrigerator out and identify where the water line is leaking. Moisture meters reveal how deep water has traveled into the subfloor, crawlspace framing, and nearby cabinet sides that are not visible from above.
Air movers and a dehumidifier work together to pull moisture from the crawlspace, subfloor, and framing. For water that has traveled deep into old subfloor structure, crews may lift flooring to increase air circulation and speed drying.
Any damp wood in the crawlspace or subfloor gets treated with antimicrobial to prevent mold and decay. Crews close everything back up so the area stays dry and the leak cannot restart.
Refrigerator leak cleanup in Hillcrest usually runs $600 to $3,000. The cost tracks how long the line leaked and how far the water spread into the subfloor, cabinets, and hardwood. A sudden supply-line or valve failure is often covered by homeowner insurance once you meet the deductible, while a slow leak left for months may be excluded. Crews document the source and drying.
Hillcrest is Little Rock's first suburb, a walkable National Register district of turn-of-the-century bungalows and historic homes west of downtown. Many still run original cast-iron drains and galvanized supply lines, and a slow crawlspace leak or a burst fitting can soak framing for weeks before anyone spots a soft spot in the floor. Hillcrest's original cast-iron and galvanized plumbing corrodes over more than a century. The neighborhood's bungalow-style homes have crawlspaces and subflooring where water can hide for weeks. Spring thunderstorms also stress aging water lines, increasing the risk of failure. From Hillcrest, crews also cover nearby Capitol View/Stifft's Station, East Little Rock, North Little Rock, MacArthur Park District, Riverdale, Pulaski Heights.

Cast-iron can last a century or more if not exposed to corrosive conditions. However, it does corrode over time, and fittings are often the first place to fail. If your home is over eighty years old and you see a leak, consider having a plumber inspect the full system.
