Burst Water Pipe Repair or Replacement

Burst Water Pipes

When we think of something bursting, we tend to think of balloons, car tires, an erupting volcano…in other words, something spectacular with real shock value that can be seen, felt and heard.

Burst water pipes aren’t always like that and, in fact, more often than not will occur out of sight, such as beneath floors or underground. Water pipes also can burst when you’re sleeping, at work, on holidays, or away from home for any other reason.

Where Burst Water Pipes Can Occur

There are numerous potential consequences stemming from a burst pipe, including a “sound,” an increase in your water bill, loss of water pressure, or reduced hot water temperature. Burst pipes also can lead to outdoor or indoor damp patches…even a major flood in the kitchen or bathroom.

Here are more potential burst pipe Burst Pipe And Repairscenarios presented on the proposition that “forewarned is forearmed”:

WATER PIPES, INDOORS OR OUT

As the first steps in correcting the problem, Kalamunda Plumbing will determine “which” and then “where” the burst or leak has occurred.

UNDER FLOORS OR INSIDE WALLS

A burst or leaking pipe can occur under floors or inside walls, under baths or inside vanity cabinets, in ceiling spaces or between floors.

BRICK PAVING OR CONCRETE PATHS

And then there’s under brick paving and/or under concrete paths and driveways (or asphalt).

TELL-TALE SIGNS

Identifying a Burst Water Pipe

Burst pipes not only cause hundreds, even thousands of dollars of property damage, they can also result in enormous amounts of wasted water. Minor but persistent leaks also can occur that barely register on the water meter. For example, a persistently dripping tap will barely register on a water meter but, left unattended, it could leak almost 10,000 litres of water per year. If you have a dripping tap and a leaky toilet cistern, they can waste enough water (per year) to fill a small swimming pool.

How Do We Locate a Burst Pipe?

  • First of all we check the water meter to determine whether there is a loss of water.
  • Then we determine whether the leak is in the hot or cold pipework.
  • Wherever possible, we’ll determine the type of pipe, such as copper, poly, or PVC, so as to decide what equipment to use.
  • And finally we determine the best way forward including the most appropriate equipment to track the pipe and pin-point the leak.

How Do We Repair a Burst Pipe?

  • Firstly, we advise the most appropriate option for repair or replacement. Eg: Repair in situ, replacement of pipe, or redirecting / rerouting the pipe such as around a tree, or repairing the pipe from the other side of the wall, so to avoid removal of a bath, or to minimise damage to tiles or cabinets.
  • We also determine whether excess water pressure has played a part by checking water pressure into the property and advising appropriate measures.
  • We advise all occupants in regards to turning the water off.
  • We barricade work areas where appropriate, to keep occupants and workers safe.
  • Once the burst pipe is repaired, we will endeavour to return the site to its original state, including organizing the likes of a plasterer, or tiler, painter, etc.

Customers Say

Excellent4.9 Based on 199 reviews from review us onangie duke ★★★★★ I felt very stressed when our 20 year old gas storage heater suddenly decided to die … but I needn’t have worried! We rang Kalamunda Plumbing and from that first contact with Vicky with her lovely voice and calm, capable manner we knew we were in the best of hands. Someone came out within a few hours and after assessing that the unit was indeed dead, advised us on a replacement - a gas instantaneous hot water unit. It was going to take a few days before it could be installed due to someone from the Gas board having to come out to adapt something in the meter box. Horror of horrors, the thought of no hot water for 2 or 3 days, I couldn’t believe it! - but again I needn’t have worried as a small temporary electric storage hot water unit was linked up to the house at no extra charge. WOW! That was service!!! Our new instantaneous unit was fitted within a few days and everyone involved in the job was extremely professional and couldn’t have been more helpful … thus turning a potentially stressful event in to a pain free and pleasant experience.
