FAQ
What causes pipes to burst?
Pipes can burst due to a range of factors. High water pressure, corrosion, freezing temperatures (in some regions), ground movement, or tree root intrusion are common causes. Over time, wear and tear or poor installation can also weaken pipes. Blockages can increase internal pressure, leading to cracks or breaks. In older homes, ageing metal pipes are more vulnerable to corrosion and bursting. In some cases, accidental damage during excavation or renovations may cause a rupture. Preventative maintenance, such as inspecting pipes for rust or leaks, managing water pressure, and replacing outdated materials, helps reduce the risk of a burst pipe occurring.
What should I do if I find a burst pipe?
If you discover a burst pipe, turn off your main water supply immediately to prevent further flooding. If the leak is near electrical points, switch off your power at the main board. Then, contact a licensed plumber as soon as possible. While waiting, you can try to remove excess water to reduce damage. Take photos of the damage for insurance purposes. Do not attempt complex repairs on your own. A plumber will locate the burst, assess the cause, and carry out necessary repairs or replacements. Fast action reduces the risk of structural damage and helps get your plumbing system restored quickly.
How can I tell if a pipe has burst behind a wall?
Signs of a hidden burst pipe include water stains or bubbling paint on walls or ceilings, musty smells, or unexpectedly high water bills. You might hear dripping or hissing sounds, or notice damp flooring. In severe cases, sections of wall or plaster may feel soft or start to warp. Any unexplained moisture indoors should be investigated promptly. A licensed plumber can use specialised equipment such as moisture sensors or thermal imaging to locate and repair the problem. Ignoring the signs may lead to structural damage, mould growth, and costly repairs. Early detection is key to avoiding widespread damage.
