I might need to re-think this. Water everywhere and carpets ruined. Not me, a friend who works away.
Just spent hours swooshing water out.

Nope. Always turn them off
You have to pressurise them when you turn them off,
so the pressure doesn't make them burst off the taps.
And that's why you turn them off, so you don't get flooded
if they burst or the rubber seals perish
BIL was a plumber. Got lots of call-outs for this

So would recommend turning them off for holidays etc. Just not something I have considered before!

Not just holidays. Every time you finish the washing

**bleep**. I leave them on 24/7 as I am sure many do. Consider this my community service announcement.

So what about the toilet? Is that the same deal?

I do have a question tho. Quite a new house. The only drain hole was the bathroom. Do laundries need them?
In the floor,I mean?
