Protect Your Home from Burst Flexi Hose Water Damage
Many homeowners don't realise that a burst flexi hose can release a large volume of water in a very short time, causing serious damage to cabinetry, flooring, walls and contents. These hoses are commonly found under sinks, vanities, behind toilets and connected to appliances — making them a hidden risk in many homes.
Flexi hoses are designed to be flexible and convenient, but they can degrade over time. Age, water pressure, corrosion and manufacturing defects can all contribute to sudden failure. When a flexi hose bursts, water can flow uncontrolled until someone notices and turns it off — which may not happen for hours if you are at work or away from home.
FloodGuard helps reduce this risk by detecting unusual water flow and automatically shutting off the water supply before major flooding can continue.
What Is FloodGuard?
FloodGuard is a smart plumbing protection device designed to help reduce the risk of major water damage caused by burst flexi hoses and unexpected high water flow. If unusual water usage is detected, the unit can automatically shut off the water supply to help limit flooding and damage.
It can be installed in key areas of the home where flexi hoses or appliance connections may pose a risk — including under kitchen sinks, bathroom vanities, laundries and near toilet cisterns.
Unlike passive measures, FloodGuard actively monitors water flow and responds automatically — even when you are not home.
