With over 35 years of plumbing experience and insurance assessment expertise, FlexiPro Plumbing helps Sunshine Coast property owners identify, manage, and eliminate the risk of burst flexi hoses.
Every burst flexi hose I assessed during my time in insurance was entirely preventable. That is why I started FlexiPro.

Flexi hoses are the short, braided connectors hidden throughout your home
Every kitchen sink, basin, and toilet in your property is connected to the water supply by a flexible braided stainless steel hose. The inner rubber liner degrades over time, often without any visible warning. When one fails, the average insurance claim exceeds $27,500.
According to Suncorp Insurance research, 25% of Australians have experienced flooding or water damage in their homes. Eight in ten don't know whether their flexi hoses are due for replacement.
A burst flexi hose can release 300 to 600 litres per hour at full mains pressure. That is equivalent to filling a bathtub every hour. In an 8-hour workday, that is 4,800 litres of water flowing through your property.

What happens when flexi hoses fail
Caravan Trip Cut Short
Ted and Joan were informed by a neighbour that water was flowing out of their front door. A burst flexi hose flooded their home while they were travelling, forcing them to cut short their trip and return to months of repairs.
Multiple Businesses Closed
A cleaning crew discovered a flood in a medical centre caused by a burst flexi hose on a Saturday evening. The resulting water damage forced a week-long closure, causing substantial financial and operational strain to all tenants.
High Rise Apartment Damage
A flexi hose rupture in a vacant upstairs apartment caused significant water damage to the apartments below. The unit owner faced additional out-of-pocket expenses beyond what insurance would cover.
