Dishwashers and washing machines use water. Flexible hoses made from rubber or a synthetic material move water from the tap to machine and around parts of the appliance. They are not as sturdy as the soldered copper or rigid plastic pipes that are used for your plumbing and they may leak. A noticeable drip from a pipe that is causing a pool on the floor must be attended to at once. Maybe the connector has come loose and you can see drips building up around the top of the hose. Turn off the water at the stop tap and try tightening the screw fastening. With someone watching the connector to shout if water gushes out, turn the water on slowly.

If the hose or connector is worn, replace them. They are normally available from your kitchen specialist or local hardware store. If you live in a flat and your washing machines are on a wooden floor above other people’s rooms, check that your insurance covers you for a burst. Most houses have concrete ground floors. Dishwashers and washing machines are best set on concrete sub floors for stability. This reduces vibration and consequent pipe wear. Solid floors also limit damage if there is a burst.

Some new dishwashers and home laundry appliances have water stop devices that guarantee a leak free performance. Dublu skin hoses, stop valves and, as a last resort, a drip tray that senses moisture and cuts the supply make sure that you need never worry about flooding again. It is worth paying a little extra for such protection, especially if you live in an upstairs apartment
