When should I change the supply lines in my bathroom?

To prevent supply line damage, which can lead to water leaks, it's crucial to change the supply lines every five years. If there is a rubber core, this time can be extended to ten years.

Braided supply lines are made out of reinforced PVC or stainless steel. These materials wear out over time, which means it's a good idea to check for leaks on a regular basis. It can be easy to notice leaks around a washing machine or water heater, but an ice maker or dishwasher may not be as prevalent. Inspect these areas for damage and rusting to prevent future leakage.
