There's a lot of water hiding behind your washing machine.
Most homeowners don't spend much time looking behind their washer — and we completely understand why.
But it's worth taking a peek.
Washing machine supply hoses and connections can deteriorate, loosen, crack, or begin leaking over time. A small leak can cause hidden moisture damage, while a major hose failure can release a significant amount of water very quickly.
At BROADCO, we encourage homeowners to periodically inspect hoses and connections for bulges, cracking, corrosion, moisture, or other signs of deterioration.
Follow the appliance manufacturer's recommendations for inspection and replacement, and if you're unsure about the condition of a plumbing connection, have a qualified professional evaluate it.
It's a small maintenance task with the potential to prevent a very big mess.
Homeowner Tip: Add washing machine hoses, dishwasher connections, refrigerator water lines, and the area around your water heater to your regular leak inspection.
Water damage isn't always caused by a dramatic storm.
Sometimes it starts behind an appliance.
If it happens, our team can help with water extraction, drying, dehumidification, and restoration.
