Our plumbers share their insights on burst water pipes
Burst water pipes are one of the most stressful plumbing problems a household can face. After over a decade of fixing them across Melbourne, here are the key things we think every homeowner should know.
What causes burst water pipes?
Pipes can fail for a variety of reasons. Older copper lines corrode over time until the wall becomes thin and weak. Plastic and poly pipes can crack in extreme heat or cold, especially if they were not installed correctly. High mains pressure puts constant strain on joints, while tree roots or shifting soil can damage buried sections.
What are the warning signs before a pipe bursts?
Most burst pipes do not come out of nowhere. Keep an eye out for damp patches on walls, ceilings, or in the garden where they should not be. A sudden drop in water pressure, the sound of water running when no taps are on, or a spike in your water bill can all point to a leak that is about to worsen.
What to do immediately if a pipe bursts
The most important step is to shut off your mains water supply to stop the flow. If water is near electrical fittings or appliances, switch off the power at the main switchboard if it is safe to do so. Then call a licensed plumber straight away. Quick action reduces water damage and makes the repair process simpler.
How plumbers repair burst pipes
We start by isolating the damaged section so that water flow is contained. The burst area is cut out, replaced with new pipework, and pressure-tested to make sure the repair will hold. Tools such as CCTV cameras and moisture meters help confirm that no other leaks are hiding further along the system.
How to prevent burst pipes in the future
A few preventative steps can save you a lot of stress. Installing a pressure-limiting valve helps protect against high mains pressure. For older properties, replacing ageing pipework before it fails is often more cost-effective than dealing with repeated bursts. Exposed pipes can also be insulated to guard against temperature extremes.

Frequently asked questions about burst pipes
Questions? Concerns? Quibbles? Here are a few answers to the key questions, but don’t hesitate to give us a ring if you’ve got anything else on your mind.
Can a plumber fix a burst pipe?
Yes, a licensed plumber in Melbourne can safely repair or replace damaged sections of pipe and restore your water supply. The frustrating burst pipes Melbourne homes and businesses face often need more than a quick patch, so our approach includes identifying what caused the pipes to burst in the first place and making sure the repair lasts. If you’re not sure where the leak is coming from, our professional leak detection services can pinpoint the source before we start repairs, helping us fix the problem quickly and accurately.
Outright Plumbing is fully compliant under the Victorian Building Authority, so you can trust us for the job.
How fast can you get here?
We provide emergency plumbing services across Melbourne and can usually be at your door the same day, often within hours. If you call our emergency plumber early, we can get your burst under control quickly and reduce the risk of water damage spreading to other areas. We understand the urgency, and our emergency plumbing services cover burst pipes across Melbourne, so you can feel confident we’ll be there when you need us most.
How do I stop a burst pipe leak before the plumber arrives?
Turn off your main water supply immediately. It’s usually located near the front boundary or in the garden. This will stop water flow to the affected area and help limit the damage. If it’s safe to do so, open an outdoor tap to drain any remaining water from the system. Then call our skilled plumbers in Melbourne so we can attend as soon as possible. Regular plumbing maintenance can also help you spot worn or stressed pipes before they burst, saving you from emergencies like this.
Will your burst pipe repairs last?
Yes. We use quality materials and proven repair methods so you can be confident your plumbing Melbourne property repairs will hold up over time. We also give you tailored advice on how to prevent burst pipes in Melbourne, such as managing water pressure, replacing ageing pipework, or insulating exposed pipes in cold weather when water freezes. In some cases, we may recommend non-invasive pipe relining services to reinforce your pipes from the inside without excavation. If heavy rain or roof leaks have contributed to the problem, our roof plumbing service can help protect your property from future issues.
How much does it cost to fix a burst pipe?
A typical repair (from a cracked pipe to a fully burst one) might range from $200 to $1,500. If the burst has caused further damage to your plumbing (or was caused by hidden damage), the costs would go up. These figures are just ballpark estimates.
Here’s what we promise you, though. When we arrive, we’ll run a thorough diagnostics check so that we understand the full scale of the problem, like what caused the burst, what else the burst has damaged, and the overall state of your plumbing system. We’ll then give you precise costs and transparent explanations for you to approve. Only when you’re satisfied will we lock that quote down and get to work.
Can you help with the clean-up after a pipe burst?
We focus on repairing the plumbing and stopping further damage. While we don’t provide full water restoration services, we can recommend trusted local providers who specialise in drying, cleaning, and repairing water-damaged areas. Acting quickly is important to prevent mould growth and further structural damage, so we’ll help you line up the right people as soon as your plumbing is under control.
Do you work with insurance?
Yes, we regularly work with insurers and can provide detailed reports, photos, and invoices to support your claim. This makes the process smoother and faster for you. We can also speak directly with your insurance provider if needed to confirm the details of the repair, so you don’t have to handle it all yourself while dealing with the stress of a burst pipe.
Is a burst pipe easy to fix?
What are the early signs of a burst pipe?
Leaking water, damp patches on walls or ceilings, and unexplained increases in your water bill are common warning signs. You might also notice reduced water pressure, unusual noises in the plumbing, or discoloured water. If you see any of these signs, it’s important to act quickly. Our professional leak detection services can find hidden problems before they cause serious damage.
How can I prevent pipes from bursting?
Prevention starts with regular checks and maintenance. This can include insulating exposed pipes in winter, inspecting for corrosion, keeping water pressure at safe levels, and replacing worn sections before they fail. Booking annual plumbing maintenance helps catch problems early, and high-pressure jetting can clear debris and blockages that might otherwise lead to pipes bursting. Our team can assess your home or business and recommend the best prevention steps for your specific plumbing system.
