When we finished a playroom in the basement a few years ago, we had pointed out the on/off valve/faucet thing that was in the basement ceiling. I think it goes to the icemaker in our refrigerator upstairs. We marked it and asked them to leave an access panel. They neglected to do this!
In two days, we have to move our refrigerator so they can put hardwood floors down in the kitchen. We will not be getting a new refrigerator for a few weeks. How do we disconnect the icemaker and move the frig without having a "flood"? We don't want to tear apart the playroom ceiling looking for that pipe. Must we turn off the main water line to the house? Can we clamp off the pipe or icemaker somehow? I wish we could just move it 3-4 feet to the front hall without diconnecting it so we could keep it there until our new one is delivered and installed, but I doubt it would reach that far... We do have room for it in the mud room, and could certainly live without the icemaker until the new one arrives in a couple weeks ~ BUT we can't leave the main water off for that long!?
What is the best way to solve this problem? Thanks!
