Landlord Quick Tip
Tip #133: Surf’s Up!
The trouble is the hoses are typically behind the machine, out of sight. There is usually a bulge before a blow-out, but if no one is watching, you won’t know until your tenant is ankle deep– and your floor is a wreck.
Keep tabs on the washer’s maintenance, or update the hoses with more flood-friendly varieties that resist splitting. Some provide an automatic shut-off feature. FloodStop offers a shut-off system that also sounds an alarm–so you don’t accidentally wind up with ocean front property.
