What Are Flexible Water Hoses?

Usually found under the sink in your kitchen or bathroom, a flexi or flexible water hose is a plumbing pipe that provides a connection from the main water supply to toilets or sinks. They are made of rubber and braided stainless steel and are a cheaper option that is seen to be easier to install than normal copper pipes. Getting a licensed plumber to install them will be the safest and cheapest option for your home. Flexible hoses only have an average life span of five years and must be replaced at the end of their life span or warranty at the latest.

Flexible Plumbing Hose Problems

If you are not home and there is a leaking flexible hose under your sink, there could be an extensive amount of water damage to your home. This may include or result in,

A flooded home
Damage to the walls and ceiling
Damage to electrical appliances
Thousands of dollars of repairs

So, what can you do? To protect your home from flexi hose water damage, we recommend:

Check the warranty before buying
Contact a qualified plumber to install the hose
Replace the flexi hose every five years
Regularly check for rust spots or damage
Turn off the main water supply when leaving the house for weekends or holidays
Teach everyone in the family how to turn on and off the water supply

Why Is Paying a Licensed Plumber Cheaper?

There are a number of flexible hose problems that can occur if one bursts in your home. Since flexible taps were introduced, there have been numerous water damage claims to homes, with some reaching up to $400,000. Some insurance companies have reported up to 30,000 insurance claims per year for leaking flexi hose issues.

  Damien P from Fallon Solutions was excellent from start to finish.

I was running about ten minutes late when he arrived, and he was kind enough to wait for me, which I really appreciated. Once I got there, he came straight in, got down to business and took the time to properly understand the issue.

Damien was extremely thorough, checking the meter, switchboards and even getting up into the ceiling to locate the fuses and trace the problem. He clearly explained what the issue was, what would be required to fix it, and organised a quote on site to be sent through to the landlord for approval.

He then worked with me to find a suitable date and time to come back and have everything rectified.

The whole process was smooth, friendly and professional. Damien was helpful, informative and clearly knows his stuff. I really appreciated the level of care and professionalism and would happily recommend him and Fallon Solutions.
