Well, that's a downer. Came home this afternoon and opened the front door to a flood. The hose leading from the wall tap to the reservoir of a stand alone toilet I have near the front door had burst and full force of water had been gushing out for an unknown amount of time. Luckily mostly tile floor in surrounding area, but some rugs and part of carpet soaked and maybe damage where the water has soaked between walls and floor. Insurance claim under way.
But that's got me a bit paranoid now. If this had happened anytime between 6 and 1 week ago, I was away, and it would have been gushing for up to a week before being discovered. I turn the dishwasher off at the tap before I go away these days, but now it seems like I'll be turning all the toilet taps off as well! Guess I'll also get all the toilet hoses replaced when the burst one is fixed as well.
