What's usually behind it in Kew
Burst pipes in Kew period homes are often galvanised steel that has rusted from the inside. Where one fails, others nearby are usually close.
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. For Kew customers, that usually means same-day service.
Kew is full of Victorian and Edwardian homes and leafy streets, which means original clay sewers, big tree roots and plenty of older pipework.
