A heads up on a little thing that could leave you with a lot of damage...

Burst braided hoses can cost home owners tens of thousand of dollars in water damage if worn hoses are not identified in time. Ask us when we are at your home doing other plumbing repairs to give you a free health check on your hoses.

26.2.16 Update

Just an update to this post. I spoke with an owner when I was at his home doing other repairs that a vegie tap was wearing loose, it was one of those huge ones you can buy from the large hardware stores. It's held on by quite flimsy hardware. He noted my comment and said he'd get back to me. Within a fortnight it had burst under the sink and overnight had flooded out his downstairs area causing a lot of damage. You can never determine the exact moment they will burst, just that they will.
