Are Your Washing Machine Hoses Ready to Burst?

The last thing we want to see when we return from work or after a long trip, is water flowing out of your ceiling. Or worse, several inches of water in our basement. Sadly, this is what plumbers see all too often.

We sadly say because these disasters are almost always preventable. A general rule for washing machine hoses is to replace them every five years.
