Appliance Leak Prevention Tips in Little Rock & Benton, AR
Appliance leaks, overflows and resulting floods often are caused by leaks you don't notice, or by ones you tend to ignore. Many homeowners believe minor leaks can't do major harm. However, any leak has the potential for immediate or future water damage, and (worse) mold growth. Stopping any leak to prevent further damage, repair cost, health hazards or any future issue is important and requires professional attention.
