Mold is especially dangerous for people with breathing problems caused by allergies or asthma. But high levels of mold can also cause problems for people who are relatively healthy. Mold isn't the only threat from flooding. Bacteria may also be a problem if your house was soaked by sewage. That's why it's important to stop these pathogens before they take hold of your home. "You've really got 24 to 36 hours to work with," says Rebecca Morley, executive director of the National Center for Healthy Housing, a nonprofit organization. Have you checked your ice maker water lines lately? When an ice maker line fails it can cause significant damage to your kitchen, as they are considered pressurized lines. Pressurized lines contain a certain amount of force that pushes the water through the ice maker line. The leak can sometimes be very obvious, it would resemble large amounts of gushing water. Other times it may be a slow drip that can be hidden by the large refrigerator. The water can make its way into the cabinets, and sometimes if not caught in time can completely destroy them. The hope is that the leak can be caught in time! Be sure to familiarize yourself with all your water shut off valves, so if you have a leak you can get the water stopped. So pull out those refrigerators, and check your ice maker lines to make sure they are not leaking. While you are there make sure you sweep out any hidden food crumbs! If you notice your ice maker line is leaking be sure to call us for your free water damage evaluation.
