Meltwater backs up behind roof edge ice and reaches the attic under roofing. Water can follow rafters into insulation, wall tops, and ceiling board. The visible puddle may show only part of the wet area because attic insulation, plaster or drywall, and wood framing hold hidden moisture.
A failed appliance may need its own technician. Meanwhile, extraction prevents pooled water from staying beneath the appliance and cabinets.
