Darryl Simon, owner of Service Experts was recently featured in a Channel 7 segment on burst flexible hoses, the damage they cause and how to prevent flooding from happening in your home or at work.
Darryl has been documenting the effects these braided hoses have when burst. Service Experts has attended to hundreds of burst flexible hoses and prevented thousands more from failing and causing flooding to homes.
These flexible braided hoses connect taps and toilets to water and fail over time. When they fail and burst, they cause an immense amount of water damage and can cause tens of thousands of dollars damage to your home or business.
This can be easily preventable by visually checking these hoses on a regular basis.
Look out for any brown spots. This means that the steel braided outer is rusting and may fail shortly.
Look for any kinks or twists in the hose. This can also lead to the hoses failing and bursting.
Change all old hoses for new hoses that have a 15 year warranty.
