The Broken Pipes We Repair

Water pipes in the yard, walls and ceilings, and sewer pipes underground, found and fixed at a price agreed before any work starts.

Broken Pipe In The Yard

Water bubbling up in the lawn, a garden bed that never dries out, or a jump in the water bill. The pipe from the water meter to the house has broken underground, so we trace its run, dig down and replace the damaged length.

Broken Pipes Inside Walls

A damp patch, bubbling paint or the sound of running water inside a wall. A burst water pipe needs the water off straight away, and we cut a small opening to reach the pipe and repair it.

Leaks Through The Ceiling

A stain spreading across the ceiling or water dripping from a light fitting usually means a broken pipe or joint above it. We find it from the ceiling space or the room above and repair it.

Leaking Copper Pipes

Old copper pipes split, pinhole or leak at the joints, in the roof space, under the house or behind the kitchen. We cut out the damaged length and join in new pipe and fittings.

Cracked Pipe Fittings

Plastic waste pipes and fittings under sinks, basins and in the laundry crack with age or a knock and start to leak. We replace the broken fitting and reseal the joints.

Broken Sewer Pipes

Old clay sewer pipes crack and break, often where tree roots get in, and the drains keep blocking. We replace the broken section, or reline the pipe from the inside where it is sound enough.

How Bad Is The Broken Pipe?

What the water is doing tells you how quickly the pipe needs a plumber, and what to do in the meantime.

Water Pouring Out

Water is spraying from a pipe, pouring across the ground or coming through a ceiling. Turn off the main stop tap at the water meter, keep clear of any power points or lights the water has reached, and call us.

Water Coming Up Outside

A soggy patch in the lawn or water bubbling up in the garden means the pipe underground has broken. Turn the water off at the meter when you are not using it, and book it in quickly, because every hour adds to the water bill.

Damp Patch Or Stain

A damp patch on a wall, lifting flooring or a stain that slowly grows is a slower leak from a pipe or joint. Book in a leaking pipe repair before it damages the floor or the plaster.

How We Repair Broken Pipes

Broken pipe repair Sydney wide: find the break, agree the price, repair it properly and test it.

Find The Break

We watch the water meter with every tap off and trace the pipe runs. For sewer pipes, we clear any blockage first, then run a drain camera through to find exactly where the pipe has broken. Then you get one fixed price before any work starts.

Repair The Broken Section

We open the wall, floor or ground only where we need to reach the pipe, cut out the damaged length and join in new pipe and fittings. Pipes that are too old to hold are replaced, not patched.

Check The Repair Holds

We turn the water back on, check the meter has stopped turning with every tap off, and check every new joint is dry. Every repair is backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee.

Broken Pipe Repair FAQs

Answer:

It depends on where the pipe is and how we reach it: a broken pipe under a sink is a smaller job than one inside a wall, under a slab or deep in the yard, and the type and length of pipe matter too. We find the break first, then give you one fixed price to approve before any digging or cutting starts. There is nothing to pay just for us to come and look during business hours.

Answer:

You can stop the damage: turn off the main stop tap at the water meter, and a pipe repair clamp or tape can slow a small leak until a plumber arrives. The permanent repair is another matter, because work on the water and sewer pipes in NSW must be done by a licensed plumber.

Answer:

Turn off the main stop tap at the water meter straight away; on most Sydney homes the meter is near the front boundary. Keep away from any power points or light fittings the water has reached, move what you can out of the water, and call 1300 677 752. We run a 24/7 emergency service, and outside business hours a call-out fee may apply at our discretion, which we always confirm with you before we attend.

Answer:

The signs are a wet patch in the yard that never dries, water bubbling up through the ground, lower water pressure, or a water bill that jumps for no reason. To check, turn off every tap in the house and watch the water meter: if it keeps moving, water is escaping somewhere. A broken sewer pipe shows up as bad smells, drains that keep blocking or a patch of ground that sinks.

Answer:

Tree roots, ground movement and old age are the most common causes, along with corrosion in old copper and steel pipes and high water pressure. Pipes also get broken by digging, renovation work or a heavy knock. Old clay sewer pipes crack at the joints, and roots grow in through the cracks.

Answer:

Not always. After a camera inspection shows the damage, many cracked sewer pipes can be relined from the inside without digging up the whole line. A pipe that has collapsed or is badly out of line is dug up and the broken section replaced. We show you the footage and give you a fixed price for the option that suits the pipe.

Answer:

One break in a pipe that is otherwise sound is repaired by replacing that section. If the pipes are old, corroded and have already leaked in more than one place, replacing the run is usually the better use of your money, because patching one spot only moves the next leak along. We tell you which on the spot, with a fixed price for either.

Answer:

In most Sydney homes, Sydney Water looks after the pipe up to and including the water meter, and the property owner looks after everything after it. If the water is leaking before the meter or in the street, call Sydney Water on 13 20 90. If it is after the meter, on your side, it is a job for your plumber.
