  • 🚰 Wolli Creek Plumbing Emergency: How a Mini Stop Valve Prevented a Flood!

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.

A: Look for rust, bulging, or small leaks around the hose fittings. If you see any of these signs, it’s time for a replacement!
