Burst Pipe Repairs

What To Do When A Pipe Bursts

A burst pipe can cause a lot of damage in a short amount of time. Before cleaning up the mess, focus on stopping more water from entering the property.

If it is safe to do so:

  1. Turn off your mains water supply at the meter.
  2. Stay away from electrical areas, including power points, light switches and appliances.
  3. Move furniture, rugs, carpets and valuables away from the leak.
  4. Take photos for insurance, tenancy or property management records.
  5. Call a licensed plumber and explain where the water is coming from.

If the leak is after your water meter, it is usually a private plumbing issue. If water appears to be coming from the street, public land or around the meter itself, Icon Water may also need to be contacted.

Burst Pipe Repairs For Belconnen Homes And Units

Not every burst pipe is obvious straight away.

Sometimes water pours out from under a kitchen sink, bathroom vanity, laundry tap or external pipe. Other times the leak is hidden inside a wall, ceiling, roof space, garden line or under a concrete slab.

Born Plumbing can help with burst pipes in:

  • family homes
  • townhouses
  • apartments and units
  • rental properties
  • investment properties
  • small business premises
  • older Belconnen homes
  • newer developments around Bruce, Lawson and Macquarie

Once we find the source of the issue, we isolate the leak where possible, repair or replace the damaged pipe section, then check the plumbing system before we leave.

Early Warning Signs Of A Burst Pipe

You may need a plumber if you notice:

  • water pooling inside or outside the property
  • wet carpet, swollen skirting boards or damp walls
  • stains on the ceiling
  • low or no water pressure
  • running water sounds when all taps are turned off
  • a water meter that keeps moving when nothing is being used
  • higher than normal water usage
  • damp smells, mould or excess moisture near walls, cupboards or furniture
  • wet patches in the garden, driveway or around external taps

Why Pipes Burst Around Belconnen

Belconnen has a mix of older homes, townhouses, apartments and newer developments. Burst pipes can happen for different reasons depending on the property.

Common causes include ageing pipework, failed fittings, corrosion, high water pressure, cold Canberra mornings, ground movement and accidental damage from gardening or renovations.

In older Belconnen properties, pipework may have been repaired or altered over time. That is why it is important to find the cause of the leak, not just patch the first visible problem.
