How We Fixed a Persistent Washer Leak in Ocala's Humid Climate

## Persistent Washer Leak in Ocala: A Case Study

In the Ocala service area, one of our clients was struggling with a washer that repeatedly leaked water. Given the high humidity in Central Florida, moisture problems often worsen leaks and cause mold. Our Clermont technicians were dispatched promptly to diagnose the issue.

### What We Found
- The washer's door seal was cracked due to wear and the humid environment.
- Drain hose was loosely connected, causing intermittent leaks.
- Mold buildup near the base due to prolonged dampness.

### The Fix
- Replaced the door seal with a high-quality, humidity-resistant gasket.
- Secured and replaced the drain hose.
- Cleaned mold and advised on ventilation improvements.

### Lesson Learned
Regular maintenance and early repair are crucial in the Greater Orlando Area, especially near damp areas like Lake Eola or The Villages community where humidity accelerates wear. Addressing small leaks quickly prevents bigger damage and costly repairs.

If you live in Orange, Lake, or Marion County, keeping an eye on your appliances during Florida’s wet season can save you trouble later.
