Water, Water Everywhere

Three rooms had water where it shouldn't be when this water line suffered moving damage.

There are more people working remotely than ever before. Still, many have chosen to stick with the old 9 to 5, and for them there is no place like home. Being gone all day does mean that mishaps happen without anyone knowing, and that could be miserable to come home to. A normal eight hour day leaves a lot of time for water to flow, should a problem arise without anyone home. Water everywhere upon arrival is a shocking situation, and the immediate response is to find out where it's coming from.

There are many culprits to choose from, it could be the toilets, the faucets, the dishwasher, the washing machine, or the air conditioning. It could also be the refrigerator, and that might be the last place someone would think to look.

If the refrigerator turns out to be the source, it could be a blocked defrost drain, or a clogged, broken, or frozen water supply line. Keeping the refrigerator clean is important, as dust and debris often cause blockages. When moving the refrigerator pay attention to the water supply line.
