Leaky washer hoses: Don’t get soaked

By Jason Gadbois State Farm® agent ould you spend $10 to $20 to keep your furnishings, floor coverings and keepsakes intact?

Consider spending that money on new washing machine hoses, and you may be able to save yourself from a lot of inconvenience, mess and the loss of items that could never be replaced.

Washing machine hose failures cause as much as $150 million in damage each year to homes in the United States and Canada. But by taking a few precautions, you can greatly reduce your chances of getting soaked by a leaky washing machine hose.

Inspect those hoses Make it a point to periodically inspect your washing machine hoses for signs of wear and tear.

Look for bubbles, cracks or fraying. If you see any of these signs, turn off the water supply to your washer and replace the hoses.

Can I replace them myself?

Replacing washing machine

W

hoses is as easy as hooking up a water hose to a water spigot. And a new set of hoses costs between $10 and $20 at most home repair, hardware and plumbing supply outlets.

To install new hoses, first shut off the water supply to your washing machine. Close the main shutoff valve in your house

if a valve closer to your washing machine is not available.

Unscrew the old hoses one at a time, draining any water into the washing machine.

Carefully line up the threads and screw the hoses on tightly.

Once you’ve installed the new hoses, open the shutoff valves slowly. Run the machine through

a cycle and check carefully for leaks.

Carefully move the washer back toward the wall, keeping the hose free from kinks or tight bends. Allow at least four inches or 11 centimeters between the water connection and the back of your washer.

Anything else?

• Turn off the water supply to the washer if you plan to leave your home for more than one day.

Most washing machine manufacturers recommend shutting the water off anytime you are not using the machine.

• Consider installing or having a professional plumber install a single-lever shutoff valve, which makes it easier to turn off the water supply to your washing machine.

• Another option is a water hammer arrestor, which absorbs increased water pressure when the electric valve in your washer shuts off. There are types that easily attach to the valves where your hose is connected.

• Make sure everyone in your house knows where the water shutoff valve is and how to use it.

Have you walked into a room and found it somewhat cold & If you are a lucky owner of a house with architectural features here drab, and uninviting? It’s a brand new year and a perfect time is what you can do to highlight their beauty: for you to take a fresh look at your home and choose a focal The fireplace is one of the most striking features and should point for every room. definitely be the focal point if you’ve got one. If it’s an old fireWhy choose a focal point for every room? place, it could be painted, or tiled to give it a new life. The mantel is a great place to accessorize – a large piece of art or a mirror could If you've ever been confused as to why a room that has nice be added above for some punch and smaller accessories arranged furniture and collectables that you love just isn't working for you, on the mantel to tie in the fireplace with the art or mirror. Having chances are it doesn't have a focal point. a TV in the same room as the fireplace used to be a problem, but A focal point is a feature of a room that instantly grabs your not anymore, as more and more people are investing in a plasma attention and is the object around which the rest of the room's screen TVs, it should be mounted above the mantel and will not design revolves. The focal point is the first thing you see when fight with the focal point of the fireplace. Mounting it above the entering a room and its job is to anchor the space. If possible, build fireplace is really the perfect spot for it, since when it’s on, you your furniture arrangement around the focal point. When you don’t will have a cozy seating arrangement around the fireplace and can have something to anchor your space, then there is no place for the enjoy both at the same time, and when it’s off it disappears almost eye to rest when entering the room. Without a place for your eyes seamlessly into the background; especially if there are a couple of to rest, the room will feel very disjointed and uncomfortable.

Choosing a Focal Point Oftentimes the best focal points are the architectural elements of the house such as a fireplace or bank of windows, but if you don’t have an architectural focal point, then you need to create one. This can be done with a large piece of furniture or a display of art.

Because focal points have visual weight, other items in your room need to be placed so that they balance that weight. Each room should have only one focal point, but it can have other areas of interest or emphasis. If you have an architectural point of interest on one wall, such as a fireplace, and have a contrived point of interest on an opposite wall, such as a large entertainment center or projection television, it is best to create two separate seating areas, each with their own “focal point”.

Another thing to consider in good room design is the facing wall.

This may or may not be the wall on which the focal point is located. The facing wall is the wall opposite the entry into the room. Because it is seen first, it makes a good location for a contrived focal point, but in rooms with architectural or natural focal points, it should be treated as a point of emphasis. It is accessories on the mantel that add visual interest.
