Sub-Zero Repair on South Hill

What we see here

1. 01 Neighbours on one street can be on different systems here, so a fix that worked next door says little about your own tap.
2. 02 Where the water is Tacoma's, the utility says it is softer than hard-water supplies, and scale sits near the end of the list of suspects.
3. 03 The hills around Puyallup see more frequent lows below freezing than the valley. A supply line through a cold garage or an outside wall can freeze in a cold snap and starve the ice maker.

On your side of the Shut-Off Line

1. 01 Find the water provider's name on your latest bill, because it decides the order of everything after this step.
2. 02 After a hard frost, follow any visible run of the water line in the garage or against an outside wall, looking for ice or a split.
3. 03 If the bill says Tacoma, put scale near the end of the list, because the utility calls its water softer than hard water.

Then the five that apply anywhere, in order: switch, filter, supply valve, fill tube, arm and bin.

Booking

Meridian Avenue, State Route 161, is South Hill's main road. When you book, give us the street and the water system named on your bill.

The $89 visit pays for the trip and the whole diagnosis, and once you approve the repair that $89 is deducted from its price. The phone is answered 24/7; visits run 8 am to 8 pm, Monday through Sunday.

What the visit covers is on the Sub-Zero ice maker repair page. On this water, read What Water Pressure Does a Sub-Zero Ice Maker Need first.
