When Lowe’s Says No: Why You Might Need a Plumber for Your Refrigerator Ice Maker Installation.

Hooking up an ice maker should be simple, but many homeowners encounter issues that require a professional plumber. Here’s why:

• No Shut-Off Valve: If your refrigerator doesn’t have a dedicated shut-off valve, it’s crucial to install one to prevent leaks and allow for safe maintenance.

• Copper Water Lines: Homes with copper pipes often need special adapters to connect to modern refrigerators, which delivery teams typically won’t handle.

• Outdated or Leaking Lines: Old or damaged water lines can lead to leaks, making upgrades to durable stainless steel braided lines a smart choice.

Improper installations can cause costly water damage, so it’s worth calling a professional. At Crew Plumbing & Drain, we make ice maker hookups quick, easy, and hassle-free.

Call us at 803-995-9282 today to schedule your service! Let us handle the plumbing so you can enjoy your new refrigerator with peace of mind.

How a $15 Water Shut-Off Curb Key Can Save You Thousands

Emergencies like a burst pipe or hose bib can cause serious water damage to your home if you can’t shut off the water quickly. Having a Water Shut-Off Curb Key on hand can save you time, stress, and thousands of dollars.

This simple tool, available for around $15 at Home Depot or Lowe’s, allows you to turn off the water at your meter in minutes.

Here’s how to prepare:

1. Locate Your Water Meter: Usually found near the street in a labeled box.

2. Practice Turning It Off: Use the curb key to turn the valve clockwise (off) and counterclockwise (on).

3. Ensure the Valve Works: If it doesn’t turn easily, contact your water department.

4. Store the Key: Keep it in a convenient spot for emergencies.

Don’t wait until it’s too late—practice now! If you have questions or plumbing issues, call Crew Plumbing & Drain at 803-995-9282. We’re here to help!
