Flexi-Hose Plumbing Perth Hills & Eastern Suburbs

Looking to replace flexi hoses or need someone to inspect your house for any faulty hoses? Damaged or worn flexi hoses have the potential to burst and flood your home and cause massive damage. Avoid an expensive disaster and get our guys to address the issue before it’s too late.

HOW A $10 HOSE

Can Cost You Thousands of Dollars

You’ll find flexi-hoses throughout the average Western Australian home, and they’re very easy to recognize.

Also known as braided hoses, their versatility enables them to be used in new construction and to replace copper pipes in older homes.

Here are a few of their more common uses:

  • Found beneath kitchen, laundry and bathroom sinks.
  • Connecting water from the toilet stop tap to the cistern.
  • Connecting appliances like washing machines and dishwashers to their water sources.

Prevent Issues with Flexi-Hoses in your Home

Flexi-hoses have outer braided layers of stainless steel with a rubber pipe interior. And, because of their flexibility (hence, the name flexi-hose), they can be shaped to meet a range of home plumbing solutions.

Flexi-hose damage can cost you dearly. Up to 2,000 litres of water per hour can flood your home from a burst hose. The following information is key to helping you avoid such a disaster:

 

ROUTINE INSPECTIONS
They should be examined frequently for signs of wear and tear by a licensed and experienced plumber.

REPLACE EVERY 5 YEARS

Flexi-hoses should be replaced no less frequently than every 5 years.

TURN OFF WHEN NOT IN USE
To prevent damage when going away even for a weekend, turn off the water main. Contact the Water Corporation for more information on 13 13 75.
