A burst pipe gets worse every minute it runs
When a pipe lets go, water can do real damage to floors, walls, and ceilings in a very short time. The single most useful thing you can do is turn the water off at the mains, usually the tap next to your meter at the front of the property. Once the flow has stopped, call us and we will get to you.
The pipe problems we get called out to most often:
- Burst pipes flooding a kitchen, bathroom, or wall cavity
- Slow leaks under sinks and behind vanities
- Hidden leaks inside walls, slowly soaking plaster
- Water stains and bulges appearing on ceilings
- Ageing galvanised steel pipework rusting through
- Rusty water, dropping pressure, and pinhole leaks
If it is gushing or spreading, treat it as urgent. Shut the mains off and phone our emergency plumbing line rather than booking online.
We find the source, fix it properly, and stop it coming back
Not every leak announces itself. A damp patch under the sink, a musty smell, a water bill creeping up, or a section of wall that never quite dries can all point to a leak you cannot see. We use water leak detection to pinpoint the source before opening anything up, so we cut into the wall or floor only where the problem actually is.
Older Bayswater homes often still have galvanised steel pipework. It corrodes from the inside out, which is why you see rusty water, falling pressure, and pinhole leaks as it ages. Once one section fails the rest usually follows. Where that is the case we re-run the line in copper or PEX rather than chasing one leak after another.

24/7 emergency response to burst pipesBurst & Leaking Pipe FAQs
Turn the water off at the mains first. The main tap is usually next to your water meter at the front of the property. Shutting it off stops the flow and limits the damage. Once the water is off, call us straight away. We run a 24/7 emergency line and will get to you as fast as we can.
Yes. A burst pipe will not wait for business hours, so neither do we. We respond to burst and leaking pipe emergencies around the clock across Bayswater and Melbourne's eastern suburbs. Turn the mains off, then call us and we will prioritise getting to you.
We use leak detection to track down the source before opening anything up. That means we only cut into the wall or floor where the leak actually is, rather than guessing and creating unnecessary mess. Once we have pinpointed it, we show you what we have found before carrying out the repair.
Galvanised steel rusts from the inside out over time, which shows up as discoloured water, dropping pressure, and eventually pinhole leaks. Once one section fails, others usually follow. We can patch a single failure, but on ageing galvanised pipework it is often more cost effective to re-run the line in copper or PEX. We will give you an honest comparison.
It often is. A stain or bulge on the ceiling usually means water is escaping from a pipe, a shower, or a fitting on the floor above. It needs looking at quickly because the longer it sits the more it damages plaster and framing. We will trace the source and fix the cause, not just the symptom.
