Burst Water Pipes Perth 

Turn off your water and call us – we’ll take it from there

A burst pipe can cause serious water damage quickly. If you think a pipe has burst, or you can hear running water with everything turned off, turn off the water at the main stopcock and call a plumber.

We respond quickly to burst pipe jobs across Perth. Once on site, we’ll locate the break, give you a clear price, and repair it properly, whether that means patching a small section or replacing a run of damaged pipe.

We’ll also look at why it failed. Burst pipes can be caused by age, corrosion, pressure problems, ground movement or tree root intrusion. If the underlying issue isn’t addressed, it can happen again.

How We Work

How we handle a burst pipe

A straightforward process with no surprises – you’ll know what we’re doing and why at every step.

1

Locate the break

We identify where the pipe has burst, using leak detection equipment for pipes that are underground or inside walls.

2

Give you a clear price

We explain what needs to be done and give you a firm price before starting any work.

3

Repair or replace the pipe

We fix the broken section properly – not a patch job that’ll fail in six months.

4

Check the rest of the system

If one pipe has failed, we’ll check whether other sections are under similar stress.

Common Questions

Burst pipe FAQs

Answers to the questions we get asked most often about burst water pipes in Perth.

Turn off the water at the main stopcock (usually near the front of your property or at the water meter). Then call a plumber. Don’t try to repair it yourself – a temporary fix can make things worse.

It depends on where the pipe is, what it’s made of and how extensive the damage is. We’ll give you a firm price on site before starting work.

In some cases yes, particularly for pipes that are accessible or just under the surface. For deeper underground pipes, some excavation is often required. We’ll always use the least invasive approach that does the job properly.

Many home insurance policies cover sudden and accidental water damage caused by burst pipes. Check your policy for details. We can provide documentation to support an insurance claim if required.

Common causes include ageing or corroded pipes, high water pressure, ground movement, tree root intrusion, and accidental damage. Many older Perth properties still have ageing galvanised steel or clay pipework, which can become more susceptible to failure over time.

We treat burst pipes as urgent plumbing issues. Call us on 0497 258 334 and we’ll prioritise getting to you as quickly as possible.
