Repair or replacement?
A localised leak in otherwise sound pipework can often be repaired by replacing the damaged section.
What to do if a pipe bursts
Turn off the water
If safe and accessible, close the isolation tap at your water meter. It is usually near the front boundary, driveway or footpath. Avoid forcing a stuck tap.
Keep clear of electrical hazards
Stay away from water near power points, appliances or the switchboard. Do not touch wet electrical equipment or enter standing water to reach a switch.
Limit further damage
If safe, move belongings away from the leak and use towels or buckets to contain water. Avoid contact with hot water from leaking hot water pipes.
Call 0448 984 771
Tell us your suburb, where the water is coming from and whether you have turned off the supply. We'll confirm the earliest available visit.

Burst Pipe Questions
Have another question? Call 0448 984 771 – we’re happy to help.

Who repairs a burst water main in the street?
Contact your water provider for suspected leaks involving the street main or meter. We repair private water pipes supplying your property. If you're unsure where the leak is, call us for guidance.
Could a hidden leak explain my high water bill?
Yes. An unexpected increase can indicate a leak. Turn off taps and water-using appliances, then check whether the meter continues registering water use. If it does, contact us to investigate.
What are the signs of an underground water leak?
Unexplained wet patches, unusually green lawn, water seeping through paving or reduced water pressure can indicate a leak. We can investigate and recommend a suitable repair.
Why do water pipes burst?
Common causes include corrosion, ageing materials, ground movement, physical damage and excessive water pressure. We assess the damaged pipe and explain any underlying issues we identify.
Should I repair a small leak straight away?
Yes. Even a small leak can waste water and contribute to property damage. Prompt repairs can help prevent a more disruptive problem.
Will my insurance cover the damage?
Cover depends on your policy and the circumstances. Contact your insurer to confirm what is included. If safe, take photos of the leak and damage, and ask us for repair details if needed.
