Refrigerator Leaking Water? Repair in Tampa Bay
A puddle under the fridge or water pooling under the crisper drawers. Fridge leaks have four or five causes, all of them repairable — and in a no-basement Florida home, worth fixing before the floor takes it.
What we see most
- Water under the crisper drawers inside the fridge
- Puddle on the floor in front or behind
- Ice sheet on the freezer floor
- Dripping from the dispenser
- Wet insulation smell
Water inside the fridge or ice on the freezer floor is a blocked defrost drain — the most common fridge leak, and a cleaning plus a drain-heater check fixes it. A puddle behind the fridge is usually the water line, inlet valve or a cracked drain pan; in front, the dispenser or a door gasket letting warm air condense. We find the source by running the fridge through a defrost, fix it the same visit in most cases, and quote the exact price before any work.
A slow leak under a fridge rots the subfloor silently — it's cheaper to fix the drain than the floor.
Honest pricing, local techs
Every repair starts with a clear quote: you approve the exact price before any work begins, and the $79 diagnostic is waived when you go ahead with the repair. We cover Pinellas and Hillsborough — St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Largo, Tampa and the towns in between.
Frequently asked questions
Why is water collecting under the crisper drawers?
The defrost drain is blocked, so meltwater overflows into the fridge instead of running to the pan. We clear it and check the drain heater.
Why is there ice on the floor of my freezer?
Same cause — a clogged defrost drain. The meltwater refreezes on the freezer floor before it can drain.
How much does a fridge leak repair cost?
$79 diagnostic, waived with the repair. A drain cleaning is one of the cheapest fixes we do; valves and lines are modest parts.
Can I keep using the fridge until you arrive?
Yes — just put a towel down and, if the leak is behind the fridge, turn off the water supply valve to the ice maker.
