Dealing with a burst flexi hose can be quite troublesome, as many homeowners have experienced.
That’s why it is not surprising that burst flex pipes are among the most prominent plumbing issues across the country.
Remember that these pipes have a limited lifespan; without proper maintenance or regular checks, they may wear out way before time. It won’t be long before a small leak leads to burst pipes, requiring you to spend hundreds of dollars on repairs.

Once you reach out to us, our professional plumber will arrive at the spot and begin their work by examining the source behind the leak or burst. That said, we’d recommend keeping an eye on the expiry tag of the flexi hose so that you know when it should be replaced.
Burst hoses and pipes can cause significant water damage and cost thousands of dollars in repairs. But even then, don’t try installing one yourself, as improper installation will invariably cause irreparable damage to your home.
Aside from that, it’s advisable to get it checked every two years until expiry. Our trained plumbers will quickly get the job done with minimum disruption so you can return to your daily schedule.
Not only that, but we also take care of tidying up your place post-work. If you don’t find the tag, contact us as soon as possible to conduct the necessary checks. Also, avoid storing strong chemicals near flexi pipes or hoses to reduce the chances of corrosion and rust before time.
Kitchen sinks and washing machines are common places where burst hoses occur. Stainless steel braiding on flexi hoses offers extra protection, but they are still a potential ticking time bomb if not maintained properly.
