Burst Pipes in Melbourne can be caused by various factors that demand immediate attention and effective repair. Fix It Right Plumbing understands the distinctive challenges posed by burst pipes in Melbourne, and our seasoned experts are equipped to tackle them with precision and care.

Melbourne‘s weather can be unpredictable, ranging from hot and dry conditions to cold winters. These fluctuations can stress water pipes, causing them to expand and contract. Over time, this wear and tear can lead to cracks and eventually result in burst pipes. Fix It Right Plumbing’s professionals are well-versed in addressing burst pipes caused by weather-related stress, providing swift and durable solutions to safeguard your home.

Corrosion is another common culprit behind burst pipes in Melbourne. The city’s diverse neighbourhoods, from coastal regions such as Bayside, Port Phillip, Bellarine and Mornington Peninsula to to inner urban areas, experience varying environmental factors that can accelerate pipe corrosion. Our plumbing experts are skilled at identifying corroded pipes and offering effective repairs to prevent burst pipes. By addressing the root causes of burst pipes in Melbourne, we ensure your plumbing system remains robust and resilient.

We understand that water leaks and burst pipes can spell disaster for your home or business if left unattended. Fix it Right Plumbing are well-placed to respond swiftly to emergencies, ensuring that your home remains protected from potential damage.

Our extensive experience in Melbourne spans various types of properties, from charming Victorian-style homes in Richmond to the grand residences in Toorak and Brighton. We carry all the essential parts and equipment onboard to effect immediate repairs, regardless of your location or the architectural style of your home. Our professional plumbing team is not only adept at fixing visible leaks but can also locate concealed or underground water leaks using specialized equipment. If you notice unusually high water bills but are unsure of the leak’s location, Fix It Right Plumbing, known as Melbourne‘s leak detection specialist, can pinpoint the issue accurately. Our commitment to responsive, high-quality service ensures that your home remains safeguarded against water leak and burst pipe concerns in Melbourne.

Why choosing the right plumber for your water leak is so important

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

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 repairing burst water pipes. Our Melbourne plumbers will do a very thorough analysis of your whole piping system and ask you questions to gather as much information from you as possible before they recommend a procedure to repair the burst pipe.

More than a decade ago, the primary method for repairing burst pipes in Melbourne was the traditional pipe replacement. While many Melbourne plumbers still employ this method, modern techniques such as pipe relining have gained popularity. This is due to the ease of use and versatility, but there are other reasons to use relining that few plumbers know about: 1. It offers a seamless, joint-free new pipe. 2. It can be used in areas with limited access. 3. It is compatible with CCTV camera inspections. Your Melbourne plumber should do a very thorough analysis of your whole piping system and ask you lots of questions to gather as much information from you as possible before they recommend the best repair method.

Because we charge by the job and not by the hour, you’ll know exactly how much your burst pipe repair will cost before we begin. So you can sit back and relax while we address the issue, knowing there will be no unpleasant surprises at the conclusion.

Before we commence any burst pipe repair work, we fully explain exactly what we are going to do to fix the issue and why. We also provide a complete job estimate, ensuring you understand the total costs involved before we begin. We won’t proceed unless you are entirely satisfied with our approach, ensuring you remain in full control.

Common Burst Water Pipes Issues in Melbourne

Pipe Corrosion

Older copper and galvanised steel pipes in Melbourne homes corrode from the inside over time, weakening the pipe walls until they eventually burst under water pressure.

Water Hammer

Sudden pressure surges caused by quickly closing taps or valves can cause pipes to burst, especially in older Melbourne properties with worn fittings and high water pressure.

Freezing and Ground Movement

Exposed pipes and underground supply lines in Melbourne can be affected by ground movement, tree root pressure, or extreme temperature changes, leading to cracks and bursts.

From Our Plumbers

"When attending a burst pipe emergency in Melbourne, the first thing we do is locate and turn off the water supply to stop the flooding. Then we assess the damage, locate the exact point of failure, and complete a permanent repair — not just a temporary patch." — Fix It Right Plumbing Team, Melbourne

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if a pipe bursts in my Melbourne home?

Turn off the main water supply immediately (usually at the water meter or main stopcock). Then call Fix It Right Plumbing on 1300 667 520 for emergency assistance. Move valuables away from the affected area.

How quickly can you respond to a burst pipe in Melbourne?

Burst pipes are our highest priority. Our plumbers are available 24/7 and respond to Melbourne emergencies as quickly as possible, typically within the hour.

How much does a burst pipe repair cost?

Can you repair a burst pipe under a concrete slab?

Yes, we can repair or reline burst pipes under slabs using minimally invasive techniques. In some cases, we can reroute the pipe to avoid the slab entirely.

What causes pipes to burst?

Common causes include corrosion in older pipes, high water pressure, water hammer, ground movement, tree root damage, and poor-quality fittings or previous repairs.

Will my insurance cover burst pipe damage?

Most home insurance policies cover sudden burst pipe damage, but not gradual leaks or wear and tear. We recommend contacting your insurer promptly and we can provide documentation of the repair.
