What's usually behind it in Mentone
Mains pressure in parts of Mentone can be high, and without a pressure limiting valve, older copper lines are more likely to split.
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.
