Water flowed undetected for several hours, until an early riser got out of bed at 5:30 a.m. and put my feet onto a soaked carpet. Big headache! Wish I knew about Floodchek hoses before, now I recommend Floodchek to everyone.

In 1989, I managed a 40 story luxury condominium in Hawaii. I experienced first hand how much destruction and misery a burst washing machine could cause when it ruptured late one night, causing more than $200,000 in property damage to 20 apartments from the 34th to the 17th floor.

I can tell by the beyond industrial build of these hoses, we will not have to worry about ever having a flood.
