Burst Pipes Brisbane

Burst pipes can be a real headache for homeowners. Not only do they cause significant damage to your property, but they can also be costly to repair. It’s important to address a burst pipe as soon as possible to prevent further damage to your home and to ensure the safety and well-being of your family.

At MPW Plumbing, we understand the inconvenience and stress that come with a burst pipe. That’s why we offer prompt and reliable burst pipe repair services in Brisbane.

Causes of burst pipes

There are several reasons why pipes can burst, including:

  • Too much pressure: High water pressure can cause stress on the pipes, leading to ruptures.
  • Older pipes: Older pipes made from materials such as cast iron, galvanised steel or polybutylene are more susceptible to bursting.
  • Poor installation: Pipes that are not installed correctly or are poorly supported can shift and cause pressure points that lead to ruptures.

Signs of burst pipes

It’s important to recognize the signs of a burst pipe, as prompt action can help minimize damage. Signs to look out for include:

  • Water damage: Water stains, damp walls, and ceilings are a clear indication of a water leak.
  • Strange noises: Whistling, banging or gurgling sounds coming from your pipes can indicate a problem.
  • Low water pressure: If water trickles out of your taps or shower head, it could be a sign of a burst pipe.
  • Unpleasant odors: If you smell unpleasant or musty odors, it could indicate a water leak or even worse, mold.

Solutions for burst pipes

If you suspect you have a burst pipe, it’s essential to act fast to minimise the damage. Here’s what you can do:

  • Turn off the water supply: Turning off the water supply can help prevent further water damage.
  • Open taps: Open all the taps in your home to help drain the water and reduce pressure in the pipes.
  • Call MPW Plumbing: A qualified plumber can assess the situation, identify the source of the problem and recommend the best course of action.
