First, stop the water
Turn off the water at the meter near your front boundary. If water is near electrics, switch off the power. Then ring us. The faster the water stops, the less damage it does.
Is a burst pipe considered an emergency?
Yes. Even a small split can release hundreds of litres an hour. Water under floors and in walls causes rot, mould and damage you will not see for months. Treat it as urgent.
Why pipes burst in Noble Park
Galvanised pipe
Galvanised steel water pipe was standard in Noble Park's post-war houses. It rusts from the inside, the bore narrows, the wall thins and eventually it splits.
Copper joints
Copper lasts well, but joints fail with age, movement or high pressure, and pipes rubbing on timber or concrete can wear through.
Flexible hoses
Braided hoses under sinks, basins and toilets can burst suddenly when the braid rusts or the rubber perishes.
Digging and roots
Service pipes in front yards get broken by roots, fence posts, new garden beds and driveway works.
What causes a toilet pipe to burst if not in use?
The pipe to a toilet is under full mains pressure all day, whether or not anyone flushes. Perished flexible hoses, corroded fittings, high water pressure and water hammer can make it fail at any time, often at night when no one is around. Replace old toilet hoses and fit a pressure limiting valve if your pressure is high.
Finding hidden leaks
A burst under a floor or in a slab may only show up as a bigger water bill or a meter that turns with every tap off. We use the meter test, acoustic listening and pressure testing to find it with as little disruption as possible.
The repair
We expose the pipe, cut out the damaged section, join in new copper or approved polyethylene pipe with proper fittings, pressure test the system and restore your supply. If several sections of galvanised pipe are failing, we recommend replacing the run.
Repiping
Staged or full repiping of old galvanised houses improves pressure, ends rusty water and stops repeat bursts. We route new pipe through the roof or under the floor to minimise wall damage.
Who looks after which pipe?
Pipes on your side of the meter are yours. The meter and the pipe to the main belong to the water corporation. Water bubbling up in the nature strip or a leaking meter is theirs to fix.
Noble Park pipes at a glance
Most of Noble Park was built between the late 1940s and the 1970s, so original houses usually have clay sewer pipe, galvanised or early copper water pipe and gas hot water outside the laundry. Newer townhouses on subdivided blocks have PVC drains, plastic or copper water pipe and continuous-flow or heat pump hot water. We use cameras, locators, pressure tests and leak detection gear to see what is going on before anyone digs or cuts a wall.
