How we can help

A burst pipe can cause serious damage in minutes. The first step is always to turn off the water at the meter — then call us. We’ll get the leak under control and repair the pipe properly.

Many Melbourne homes still have ageing galvanised or copper pipework. Where a burst is a sign of wider deterioration, we’ll explain your options rather than patching the same problem again and again.

Common problems we solve

  • Burst pipes inside walls or under floors
  • Leaking taps, mixers and isolation valves
  • Water pooling in the yard or driveway
  • Leaking flexible hoses under sinks and toilets
  • Dripping or stained ceilings
  • Unusually high water bills
  • Corroded galvanised pipework

What to expect

  1. 1

    Stop the water

    We isolate the leak and make the area safe to limit further damage.

  2. 2

    Find the cause

    We locate the damaged section and check the surrounding pipework.

  3. 3

    Repair properly

    We replace the damaged section with quality materials and pressure-test the line.

  4. 4

    Paperwork for insurance

    You receive an itemised invoice describing the cause and repair.

Pricing & quotes

We quote the repair once we can see the damaged pipe. If walls or floors need opening, we explain why and keep it as small and neat as possible.

* The $0 call-out fee applies when you go ahead with the quoted work. If you decide not to proceed after we have attended and quoted, a $49 dispatch fee applies. See all offers & our guarantee.

Frequently asked questions

Where is my water meter?

In most Melbourne homes it’s near the front boundary, often in a small box at ground level. Turn the tap clockwise to shut off the water.

Will my insurance cover a burst pipe?

Many policies cover sudden damage from a burst pipe, but not always the pipe repair itself. Check your policy — we can provide the paperwork your insurer needs.

Why do pipes burst?

Common causes include age and corrosion, high water pressure, poor previous repairs and ground movement.
