Ever came home to water flowing out of your kitchen cuboard?
Don’t want to experience that?
Modern day taps are connected to the water mains by the means of flexible piping.
The pipe in the middle is a rubber pipe which allows for it not to be rigid. On the outer surface of the pipe is metal braided hosing, which protects the inner pipe.
After time goes by, the metal braided hose begins to rust and eventually pierces the rubber tube it was meant to protect.
It is advised to replace these flexible hoses every 5 years; with the warranty only being 2 years after installation.
Do yourself a favour and have a look in all of your cuboards that have taps above them. Check for rust in the flexible hosing.
3 minutes out of your day could save you a lot of heartache.
Replacing these hoses are a lot easier than repairing your house after a flood.
