Ice Dispenser Disaster in Concord?

When my refrigerator ice dispenser supply line burst and flooded my hardwood floors, I needed to act fast. My insurance adjuster told me to call SERVPRO® of North Cabarrus County & China Grove, and I’m glad I did. They extracted the water and set up industrial-grade air movers and blowers to dry the area completely, and their fast response and mitigation saved my beautiful floors!

According to the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety (IBHS), seventy-three percent of losses involving an ice maker were caused by a supply line failure, and ten percent were linked to improper installation of new refrigerators.

Here are some loss prevention and maintenance tips from the IBHS:

• Proper installation of the ice maker supply line hose is important to avoiding water damage
• Ensure the valve connection is secure and check for kinks
• Inspect the hose every six months
• If kinks are present replace the hose
• Leave a three-to-four-inch space between the back of the refrigerator and the wall to prevent the hose from crimping
• When pulling the refrigerator out for cleaning or service, avoid getting the hose caught beneath the wheel
• Locate the water shut-off valve and inspect it every six months to make sure the water supply will shut off
