Appliances That Cause Water Damage

1. 1Water Heaters Tanks rust and fail over time. When they go, they can release the full tank onto the floor and keep refilling until the water is shut off. Hard water common in the Treasure Valley can speed up sediment buildup inside tanks.
2. 2Washing Machines Rubber supply hoses crack and burst. A burst hose can release a lot of water fast.
3. 3Dishwashers Leaks from door seals, drain hoses and supply lines often soak the floor and cabinets underneath.
4. 4Refrigerators Ice maker and water dispenser lines can crack and leak slowly behind the fridge.
5. 5Other Sources Garbage disposals, sink supply lines, toilets, water softeners and HVAC drain lines.
