We just had a water leak because of a busted washer line going to a clothes washer and i was wondering if this has happened to anybody else.

Yep. They now make stainless steel feeder lines to prevent this problem.

This seems to be happening more often nowdays. I don't know if the hoses are made cheaper or if average water pressure is higher. Glad to see the new stainless steel braided hoses being made. Some people turn the water valves off after usage. I think this will make the valves wear out or leak faster, plus it is a pain reaching over the washer. They also make a washer water supply set-up that will turn the water valve off if the washer is not running when the water starts running.

Happens all the time. Usually when you're away for the weekend. Good luck with the clean-up. Probably pays to turn the water off before leaving for any length of time.

you opt to dig some holes, and employ a small pump and discharge hose to get rid of the water. Has someone on both part of you (or have you ever) finished any backyard artwork that required digging? it really is uncommon for the line to in hassle-free words destroy like that. it ought to ensue, in spite of the indisputable fact that it really is uncommon. the actual shown truth that it occurred even as you've been away should be a flag. in case you aren't any more plumbing knowledgeable, employ one to fix it. in case you are able to locate the damaged area and dig it out about 12" on both part of it an a minimum of 6" decrease than it and sparkling it off, it ought to ward off considerably on the invoice. it really is going to truly be minimum in case you do this. I even might want to believe someone dug by your line and hit it, and luckily for them you weren't abode. i ought to ask the associates besides. refer to the water business organization and ask for a help on your invoice, because of the situations. once you've been a good client, they typically can help you you with that. i desire this helps and powerful success
