What's usually behind it in North Melbourne
North Melbourne terraces often have their water service running along a shared side path. We locate it carefully to avoid disturbing neighbours' lines.
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.
