SERVPRO® of Beckley responds to water damage emergencies throughout the year in Shady Spring and we know that water can cause severe damage and time-consuming repairs if the water damage is left untreated too long. Here are some refrigerator loss prevention and maintenance tips from the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety (IBHS):
Proper installation of the ice maker supply line hose is important to avoiding water damage.
- Tightly connect the hose to the valve, and avoid over-tightening
- 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
- Inspect the valve every six months to make sure the water supply will shut off, and replace the valve if needed
