What's usually behind it in Elwood
In Elwood, we often find older pipes that have been patched before. We'll tell you if a section is worth replacing rather than repairing again.
A burst pipe can do thousands of dollars of damage in an hour. Shut the water off at the meter and call us. We isolate the line, repair or replace the damaged section and pressure-test the system before we leave.
Much of Elwood was built between the wars and in the 1950s, so earthenware sewers and ageing copper lines are common.
