Clear ice machines and nugget ice machines are the heart of many home bars. When the cubes stop, turn cloudy or the machine leaks, we sort out the water, pump and drain side first.
In the order we see them across Houston homes.
The ice machines in the line fall into two main groups. Clear ice machines freeze water in layers to make solid, slow-melting cubes for cocktails. Nugget machines make soft, chewable ice. Both need a clean water supply, a drain, and room around them to shed heat.
Hard water is the biggest challenge in Houston homes. Scale coats the surfaces that freeze the ice, narrows the small tubes and clogs the drain pump. A machine in a warm garage or a closed wet bar cabinet also struggles with heat.
We begin with the water line, the filter and the drain, then look at the pump, the float and the freezing surface. Where scale is the cause, we clean the system and tell you how often to repeat it. You get a written price before we replace a part.

Cloudy ice usually means minerals or air in the water, a dirty filter, or scale on the freezing surface. A cleaning and a fresh filter often bring clear ice back.
In Houston's hard water, a cleaning about twice a year is a sound habit, more often if you use the machine every day. Your manual may suggest its own schedule.
Many models need a drain line or a pump that lifts water away. If the line is kinked or the pump fails, water backs up and spills, so we check the whole path.
