Water damage can be very costly, and there are many different reasons why it might happen. Do you know what the most common cause for water damage in homes is? You might not have guessed this, but the answer is washing machine hoses that burst.

Repairing water damage can cost tens of thousands, requiring major work. There is, however, a very simple fix that can make it much less likely for this to happen to you.

Most washing machines come with cheap, plastic hoses that do not withstand much pressure, but if you replace them with high quality steel braided hoses, it is almost impossible for them to burst. While they might cost you a little bit extra, it is just a fraction of what you would pay for the repairs. Having that peace of mind, knowing that there is one less problem to worry about in your home, is priceless.
