A refrigerator ice maker is a convenient feature, but when it malfunctions, it can create a cascade of issues, including water damage. A clogged or broken ice maker line can lead to leaks that seep into floors and cabinets, potentially causing mold growth and structural damage.

Regular maintenance is crucial for preventing these problems. Check the water line for kinks and inspect connections for leaks. If your ice maker starts producing water instead of ice, it's essential to address the issue immediately to avoid extensive damage.

Basement Flooding in Gary Home Caused by Sump Pump Failure?

We restore water damage 24/7 in Lake County.

Our local Gary and Whiting teams are leaders in water damage restoration services. A sump pump failure is a leading cause of basement flooding, often occurring during heavy rainstorms when the pump is needed most. If the pump malfunctions—whether due to a power outage, clogging, or mechanical failure—water can rapidly accumulate in the basement, damaging floors, walls, and stored belongings.

Homeowners should regularly inspect their sump pumps to ensure they’re in working condition. Testing the pump by pouring water into the sump pit and verifying that it activates is an excellent preventative measure. A battery backup system can also be helpful in case of power outages during storms.

Swift action is essential when sump pump failure causes basement flooding. Our team of highly trained technicians use powerful, industrial-grade water extraction equipment that can remove hundreds of thousands of gallons of water quickly, minimizing the chances of secondary damage in many cases.

We monitor and document the drying process to ensure the area is dried completely and restored to normal humidity levels. This helps to avoid long-term issues like mold growth and structural damage associated with basement flooding. Addressing sump pump problems before they escalate can save homeowners from costly water damage.

When summer flooding strikes, swift action is essential to minimize property damage. Our local Gary and Whiting teams are equipped with powerful industrial-grade water extraction equipment capable of removing hundreds of thousands of gallons of water from a damaged area quickly and efficiently.
