Burst pipes can happen without warning and often require immediate action to prevent serious water damage.
Common emergencies include:
In these situations, a quick response is essential to limit damage and protect the property.
Burst pipes can occur for a range of reasons, often developing gradually before failing suddenly.
Some of the most common causes include:
Older plumbing systems may weaken over time due to corrosion, rust, or general material degradation, increasing the risk of sudden failure.
Tree roots can grow into underground pipes, placing pressure on joints and pipe walls until cracks or breaks occur.
High or fluctuating water pressure can place stress on pipework, particularly in older systems that are not designed for modern pressure levels.
Over time, repeated use and environmental conditions can weaken pipes, fittings, and joints, leading to unexpected bursts or leaks.

FAQ
Got questions? We've got answers. Find quick information about our services below.
At Fix-It Right Plumbing, we have invested in the training and equipment necessary to specialize in unblocking drains. Our Melbourne, Geelong, Canberra and Ballarat plumbers will do a very thorough analysis of your whole drain system and ask you questions to get as much information from you as possible before they recommend a procedure to unblock your drain.
More than a decade ago, the only real tool for cleaning drains was a cable drain machine (electric drain eel). They were a robust, relatively inexpensive, and reliable go-to tool for clearing and removing blockages from domestic and commercial drains. Although lots of plumbers these days still use them, water jet machines are increasing in popularity due to the ease of use and versatility but there are other reason to use a jet machine that few plumbers know about.
1. They are less likely to get jammed and stuck.
Your plumber should do a very thorough analysis of your whole drain system and ask you lots of questions to get as much information from you as possible before they recommend what they will do.
Because we charge by the job and not by the hour, you know exactly how much your clogged drain job will cost before we start. So you can sit back and relax while we take care of your drain problem, knowing there will be no nasty surprises at the end.
