What San Mateo County does
to an ice maker.

Where ice makers sit in San Mateo County: gated communities, designed kitchens and bars, outdoor bars.

All of San Francisco Bay Area

Gated communities

Where household staff empty and refill the ice bucket every day, a slowing ice maker gets noticed on the first morning, and the person who reports it can usually say which cubes changed first, which shortens the search for the cause.

Designed kitchens and bars

A designed kitchen may carry three sources of ice at once, the door dispenser, a freezer drawer mold and an undercounter unit at the bar, each on its own supply branch, so mapping which valve feeds which is the first step in any leak call there.

Outdoor bars

At an outdoor bar the ice bin's melt water runs down the drain all day, and a drain line laid with too little fall or an outdoor drain clogged with leaves makes the bin hold water instead of ice, so the drain run is walked end to end on each visit.
