The Price you will pay for neglecting your washing machine hoses, those python-like “creatures” that attach your washing machine to your water source, are one of the most neglected and potentially damaging maintenance monsters in your home. Are you furnishings, floor coverings and heirloom keepsakes worth more than $100 to you? Then invest $100 (or less) in new washing machine hoses and you will have taken a huge step toward avoiding the costly damage, messy inconvenience and loss of irreplaceable treasures due to your washing machines hoses bursting or leaking.

You’re probably wondering why appliance installers and other plumbers don’t tell you about this potential problem. Frankly, we don’t’ know since washing machine hoses are under constant pressure when being used and failures cause about $150 million in damage each year. To reduce the chance that your hoses are going to fail, inspect them regularly.
