What is a Flexi Hose?
Flexible plumbing hoses are rubber pipes surrounded by braided lengths of stainless steel. They’re used to connect water to taps and fixtures, usually found under the sinks, in the bathroom, laundry or kitchen.
Why do I need to check them?
Flexible braided hoses have a limited lifespan, with constant use and the daily effects of twisting, stretching, and water pressure. They tend to burst when the external braiding breaks down due to rust and corrosion.
Don't become a statistic...
It's estimated that 22% of all water damage in Australian homes is caused by a burst flexible hose, according to data provided by IAG, one of Australia’s leading insurance agencies.
The Damage can be costly
If a flexi hose (flexible hose) under your sink bursts, it can lead to various consequences, ranging from minor water damage to significant flooding and structural issues. Here are some potential outcomes:
Damaged flooring - timber flooring and carpets
Damaged Fixtures - walls, skirtings, cabinetry
