What causes burst pipes?

There are a number of reasons why you might have burst pipes including:

• Poor installation
• Age
• Corrosion
• Movement in the soil
• Movement in the property
• Force (damage through excavation or digging)
• Water pressure

Burst pipes can occur ‘invisibly’ because they are generally concealed under surfaces like floors, yards and driveways. Signs of a burst pipe may not show until a few months down the track when you might begin to see leaks, puddles or water and gas bills skyrocketing unexpectantly.

Unfortunately, compromised pipes are hard to locate before the burst occurs and your first indication might well be that annoying puddle in the backyard or a wet patch on the ceiling! Don’t panic, call Davy Plumbing for a completely free appraisal and quote.

The best way to repair burst pipes is to first isolate the water flow to the property. This is done by turning off the water at the meter. Davy Plumbing will then work using a variety of methods to locate, isolate and replace the burst pipe.

Need a burst pipe plumber you can rely on?

For burst pipes inside the home, it is important to first isolate each pipe individually. At Davy Plumbing we conduct systematic individual pressure testing to locate the affected pipe work. Once we have located the pressure drop (either in the hot or cold water service) further testing is done to isolate the location of the burst pipe. Replacement of the pipe can then take place.

For burst pipes outside of the home, we first work to isolate the water supply and then move to pressure test from the meter to the property. We do this to identify which zone the burst pipe falls into. For example, often times a burst pipe might actually occur in a neighbouring property, in the Sydney Water service area or from a stormwater source. Rest assured, if the burst pipe falls into the Sydney Water area, Davy Plumbing will liaise on your behalf. If we can’t find the burst pipe through standard excavation, Davy Plumbing can deploy a wide range of high-tech equipment using acoustic (sound), thermal imaging or fluoride testing.

Burst pipe repair solutions are similar whether they are located inside or outside the home. They can include water leak locators, press tools for copper pipes, crimping tools for plastic pipes and pipe-freezing if needed.

Davy Plumbing can also provide homeowners with a certificate or report including photographs to be used for insurance purposes on request.
