Fix it first before it bursts

Flexible plumbing hoses are the leading cause of residential water damage claims in Australia. Flexi hoses are universally used for plumbing connection in all homes and commercial buildings under 25 years old. They connect sinks, hand basins, toilets and even washing machines and dishwashers to water supply. A majority of these flexi hoses only include a 5 year warranty and regularly fail. They should be inspected and replaced on a regular basis.

​

Worse still, if a flexi hose is not installed by a licensed plumber, a burst pipe or leak will not be covered by your insurance policy. This can amount to thousands of dollars in damage payments (not to mention the hefty water bill caused by the leak).
