Last week in Wolli Creek , we got an urgent call from a homeowner who had a burst flexi hose under their kitchen sink. Water was spraying everywhere, and if they hadn’t acted fast, it could have turned into a full-blown flood inside the house .
The Mini Stop Valve Saved the Day!
Luckily, this homeowner had a mini stop valve installed. The moment they noticed the water spraying, they quickly shut it off, preventing major water damage . If the mini stop valve wasn’t there, they would’ve had to race to the main water meter outside - losing precious minutes while water kept pouring out.
Why Flexi Hoses Need Regular Checks
Flexible hoses (the braided metal ones under your sinks, basins, and toilets) don’t last forever . Over time, they weaken due to: ✔ Age & wear - Rubber inside the hose deteriorates ✔ High water pressure - Weakens the hose faster ✔ Poor-quality materials - Some cheaper hoses fail much sooner
A burst hose can cause thousands of dollars in damage , soaking your kitchen, floors, and cabinets. That’s why we highly recommend checking and replacing them regularly.
