FLEXI-HOSE
PLUMBING SPECIALISTS
Residential water damage claims increased by 72% in the last 5 years. Is your home a ticking time bomb?
Flexi hoses are a commonly used plumbing connection in homes and commercial buildings under 25 years old. Did you know, the majority of these flexi hoses only include a 5 year warranty and regularly fail? Flexible plumbing hoses are the leading cause of residential water damage claims in Australia.
​
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).

Why get my flexible plumbing hoses checked?
Burst hoses cost big $$$
Flexible plumbing hoses are something that tend to be "Out of sight - Out of mind. But if one or more of your flexible plumbing hoses bursts, this could cause at least 1500 litres of water per hour to spill into your home, potentially costing thousands of dollars of damage and an insurance nightmare.
Hose Age
Flexi hoses became the standard for all water connections 15-20 years ago. Hoses should be replaced at least every 5 years to guarantee no leaks. This means hoses that may have never been replaced can be well past what would be considered safe for use.
DIY Install
AS DIY renovations become increasingly popular, many people don't realise that flexi hoses must be fitted by a licensed plumber. If your DIY installation leaks or bursts, chances are you will not be covered by your insurance, which could leave you with thousands of dollars in damages to your home.
Out of sight, out of mind
As flexi hoses are commonly hidden in places such as under the sink in the kitchen, laundry or bathroom, it's easy to let damage or wear go un-noticed. This could lead to a sudden burst or leak.
Bursts Can Happen Suddenly
Braided lines will often burst instantly releasing full mains water pressure and flow into your house. If no one is around to turn water off damage can mount quickly.
It costs less than you think
The average size house or apartment can have flexi hoses assessed with recommendations for less than the cost of your home building insurance excess, giving you peace of mind.
