When you experience a power outage, food can spoil and become dangerous to eat. Here are some tips from the United States Department of Agriculture for things you can do to protect your food if you have a power outage:
- Monitor Temperatures: Keep an appliance thermometer in both the refrigerator and freezer. Make sure the refrigerator temperature is at 40 F or below and the freezer is at 0 F or below.
- 4-Hour Window: Your refrigerator will keep food safe for up to 4 hours during a power outage. After 4 hours without power, discard refrigerated perishable food. Meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and leftovers must be thrown out.
- When in Doubt, Throw it Out: Never taste food to determine its safety.
- Food Keeps Longer in a Freezer: If the doors stay closed, food will stay safe for up to 48 hours in a full freezer and 24 hours in a half-full freezer.
- Use a Cooler: Transfer food to a cooler and fill it with ice or frozen gel packs. Make sure there is enough ice to keep food in the cooler at 40 F or below. Add more ice to the cooler as it begins to melt.

We are leaders in water damage restoration services in Riverside County.
Murrieta Hot Springs residents have been relying on our local Murrieta team to restore water damage for many years. Washing machines use a lot of water when they are running, and if the machine leaks, water damage will follow. Some of the most common causes of washing machine leaks are:
- Front-loading washing machines can leak due to faulty seals or gaskets
- Supply line hose connections may be loose
- Supply line hoses may be cracked or damaged
- Water pump may fail
- Bottom of the machine may corrode and leak
If you are not sure where the leak is originating from, we can help. Our technicians use state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment to determine the location of excess water and leaks. We will locate the source of the water damage and make repairs as part of the remediation process. Many water damage emergencies involving washing machines happen when the machine is running and no one is home. For this reason, it is never a good idea to leave the home when the washing machine is running.

“Went on vacation only to come home to a flood that managed to work its way into every room on the bottom floor. I have never had to deal with water damage before so I was a little worried about the lasting effect but the guys from SERVPRO Murrieta restored my confidence. They worked tirelessly and made sure we were not inconvenienced during the process. It took a few days to complete the work and I am happy with the results. Thanks Noah, David, and the Valos team. I hope I never have to go through this again but should that card be dealt, I know who to call.” Tyshone
