We are water damage restoration leaders in Cook County!

Our local Bedford Park/Burbank teams restore water damage caused by failed appliances every year. An ice maker malfunction and  lead to unexpected water damage in commercial properties, especially in restaurants, cafes, and offices where ice machines are heavily relied upon. A failed ice maker often leads to leaks, which can go unnoticed until water has seeped into floors, walls, or nearby equipment, causing costly damage.

One common cause of ice maker failures is a broken water supply line or a clogged drainage system. Regularly inspecting the water lines and connections to the ice machine can help prevent these issues. Additionally, cleaning and maintaining the unit on a schedule reduces the likelihood of clogs leading to leaks or overflow.

Business owners should consider installing water leak detectors near ice machines to catch leaks early, minimizing water damage and repair costs. Acting quickly to repair or replace a faulty ice maker reduces water-related risks and helps ensure uninterrupted service. Keeping a maintenance plan in place can help businesses in Chicago avoid the impact of water damage caused by ice maker malfunctions.
