Supply Line Failure Causing Water Damage in Ken Caryl?
7/21/2022 (Permalink)
Our Lakewood and Ken Caryl team responds to water damage emergencies more often than any other form of property damage emergency in Ken Caryl. Supply line failure is a common form of water damage that may be prevented through routine inspection and maintenance. Here are some supply line maintenance tips
Conduct monthly inspections of the hot and cold washing machine supply lines.
- Look for signs the supply hose may be ready to fail—blisters in the hose, worn tubing, stress cracks, or a loose connection
- Replace the supply hose with a reinforced steel braided hose if it shows any sign of wear
- Tighten the connection if it feels loose. The most common site of failure is near the connection where the hose bends.
- Replace supply hoses every five years, even if there is no obvious deterioration or wear
- Some signs of deterioration may occur from the inside out and may not be visible until it is too late
- When replacing washing machine supply hoses, always choose a reinforced steel braided hose over the traditional un-reinforced rubber hose. These hoses will last longer and are far less likely to result in a catastrophic water loss.
