Refrigerator Water Line Leak

Refrigerator water line leaks are a silent threat that causes significant water damage in thousands of homes each year. The small plastic or copper water line that supplies your ice maker and water dispenser runs behind or under the refrigerator, often out of sight and out of mind—until it fails.

In South Florida, refrigerator water lines face additional stress from our hard water, which can cause mineral buildup and corrosion. The lines also endure repeated stress from moving the refrigerator for cleaning or repairs. Over time, connections loosen, lines crack, or fittings fail, releasing a steady stream of water that goes unnoticed.

Because refrigerators typically sit against walls and over flooring, water from these leaks pools underneath, soaking into subfloors and traveling behind walls. Many homeowners don't discover the damage until they smell mold, notice warped flooring, or move the refrigerator and find extensive damage. Our team specializes in detecting and restoring this often hidden water damage.
