Answer:
Up to 650 gallons per hour.
The average top-load washing machine cycle runs 40 to 60 minutes. If a supply hose fails at the start of an unattended cycle, up to 650 gallons can enter the laundry room before the cycle ends and someone opens the door. Over a finished basement, that volume saturates the ceiling below within 15 minutes. Water damage from washing machine failures averages $5,000 to $15,000, making it one of the most common and most preventable homeowner insurance claims.
It is the hose nobody checks that causes the claim nobody expected.
