Burst Pipe

Are you facing a Burst Pipe Nightmare?

A burst pipe can strike at any time and has the potential to wreak havoc, flooding your home or business and causing extensive damage. When a water pipe bursts, this is typically an emergency that demands a fast response.

When we think of a burst pipe, we instantly imagine water gushing everywhere, but in fact, due to pipes being hidden underground, you might not be aware of the problem until signs appear. A small crack in your pipe can leak hundreds of litres of water in a matter of hours, causing damage to floors, walls, furniture and electrical systems. If you’re dealing with a burst pipe or a leaking pipe, turn off your water supply and call a plumber immediately. 

At Service First, we specialise in burst pipe repairs and understand that every minute counts. The longer the water flows, the more severe the damage and the higher the repair costs.
Our licensed plumbers can swiftly pinpoint the cause and stop the flow of water by implementing effective solutions. By combining advanced leak detection technology with modern repair methods, we deliver durable results while keeping disruption to your home or business to a minimum.

What Causes A Pipe to Burst?

Burst pipes are fortunately not a common occurrence, but when they do happen, it can be a disaster, mainly due to the risk of flooding and water damage. Pipes can burst due to their age and condition, water pressure, and, in some instances, environmental factors. Corrosion and weakening over time will impact pipes, making them more vulnerable to cracks and leaks when a sudden spike in water pressure occurs. Poor installation can also increase the risk of your pipe bursting. Key causes include:

• Blocked drains.
• Poor or faulty installation.
• Tree root intrusion.
• Corroded or ageing pipes.
• Sudden water pressure spikes.
• Freezing or extreme temperature changes.
• Excessive water pressure or water flow.

Long-lasting Burst Pipe Repairs

Taking swift action at the first sign of a burst pipe allows our plumbing experts to quickly identify the cause of the problem and deliver the most cost-effective, long-lasting solution. Using advanced CCTV drain and pipe camera technology, we can accurately pinpoint hidden cracks or damage and carry out targeted and effective repairs. Burst pipes, in most instances, do not need to be replaced thanks to modern methods like no-dig pipe relining and pipe patching. Contact Service First as soon as you suspect a burst pipe for durable, lasting repairs with minimal disruption to your property.

Innovative Pipe Patching

For localised damage, pipe patching offers a quick and efficient solution; it's non-invasive and designed to fix isolated sections of damaged pipes without the need for full replacement. This modern technique uses a resin-saturated liner or patch that is inserted into the affected area and cured in place, sealing cracks or leaks from the inside. This approach eliminates unnecessary disruption to your landscape and reduces costs, as there is no need for excavation. Pipe patching provides a durable, long-lasting solution that restores the integrity and function of your plumbing. To learn more about pipe patching, call the team at Service First.

Advanced Pipe Relining

Pipe relining is a trenchless repair method that involves inserting a flexible, resin-coated liner into a damaged pipe. Once cured, this liner forms a seamless new pipe inside the old one, effectively sealing cracks and leaks. It’s a cost-effective solution that eliminates the need for extensive digging and significantly reduces repair time. Our experienced plumbers are fully trained to repair, reline and patch burst or leaking pipes. The repair method will determine the time and cost of the work, and our plumber will discuss this with you before commencing. 

Signs You Have a Burst Pipe

These could be signs of a burst pipe, which can cause a range of serious problems.
