Burst & Leaking Pipes

Have You Got a Burst or Leaking Pipe?

If water is spraying or pooling where it shouldn't be, your water bill has jumped for no reason, or you've found damp walls, wet floors or a patch of lawn that never dries out, there is likely a leaking pipe somewhere.

A burst pipe does damage within minutes, soaking into plaster, carpet and cabinetry. A slow leak can run for months before it is found, and the damage builds the whole time.

We'll Find the Leak and Repair the Pipe

If water is running, turn it off at the meter if you can safely get to it, and call us. We'll get there, find the leak and stop it.

For a hidden leak, we test sections of the system to narrow down where the water is going, rather than opening walls on a guess. Then we repair that section, or renew the whole water service if it has already been patched.

We repair burst and leaking pipes across Melbourne's eastern suburbs, and we're available 24 hours when water is running. Contact us today for a free quote.

Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Turn the water off at the meter. It is usually at the front boundary in a small covered box, and the tap turns clockwise. Then keep power away from any wet areas and call us. Stopping the flow is worth more than anything else in the first ten minutes.

  • Yes, and it is common. Leaks on the service line, under a slab or inside a wall do not show up anywhere obvious. We isolate sections of the system to work out where the water is going before opening anything up.

  • It depends what the pipe is and what condition the rest of it is in. A single failure on otherwise sound pipework is a repair. A run that has failed more than once, or old pipe that is clearly on the way out, is worth renewing rather than patching again.

  • Yes. A burst or badly leaking pipe is one of the main reasons we are available 24 hours. Call and describe what you can see and we will tell you what to isolate and when we can be there.

  • Not necessarily. Where the leak is on a buried service we locate it first so any excavation is over the fault rather than along the whole run. Sometimes a new line can be run on a better path instead of digging up hard surfaces.
