When you see your washer, refrigerator, ice machine, or any other appliance leaking, at first it doesn’t seem like a big deal. You just put a rag on the spot where water is dripping out slowly and go along with your day. Or maybe you put a watering can under it to catch the water so your flood won’t get wet, no biggie.
But it actually is a big deal, for various reasons.
A main one, especially in Southern California, is the environmental impact of allowing a leaking appliance to eek out water all day and night. You’re wasting precious resource that could be used for drinking, bathing, farming, or any other number of purposes.
You’re also wasting money. Every time the appliance lets out a drop of water, money is leaking out of your wallet. While water is a relatively inexpensive commodity, there’s no reason to spend your hard earned money when you don’t have to.
If you decided to temporarily plug up the leak by putting a rag or other porous material over it, eventually (within a couple of days) it’s going to start to smell very bad because of the excess moisture.
If you still continue to leave it there, mold and fungus will develop, which release spores into the air that cause allergy sufferers to suddenly feel an uptick in their symptoms. Many Americans suffer from mold allergy, and there’s no reason to suffer because of a leaky appliance. Plus it’s just plain disgusting to see and smell mold in your home. Don’t put up with it another day—it’s not worth it!
