Damage Caused By Floor Installers

I recently had new floors installed in my kitchen. The floors look great, but the installers damaged the adjacent parquet flooring in the process. I think when they moved the fridge, it leaked onto the floors below. My parquet floors were in perfect condition beforehand. They are coming to look at the damage, but I am afraid they will deny responsibility. What can I do here?

NDC,

Most good contractors will take responsibility. Give them a chance and see what they say

Was this flooring 80% carpeted?

No, there was no carpet. Unfortunately they are denying responsibility saying the fridge leaked and they couldn't have prevented it. I understand that my fridge leaking isn't their fault, but they should've put something protective down when moving the fridge to the parquet floor.

That's too bad, ndc18. So, what happened after they denied everything? I agree with you! They should've put something protective before they moved the fridge. Well, it's been 8 weeks already. I hope everything's fine on your end.
