What's usually behind it in South Melbourne
South 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. For South Melbourne customers, that usually means same-day service.
South Melbourne's Victorian terraces were built on low, sandy ground, and sagging old sewer pipes are common.

Many policies cover sudden damage from a burst pipe but not the pipe repair itself. We provide a report to help with the claim.
Can you fix it at night?
Yes. We attend burst pipes 24/7.
Why did my pipe burst?
Common causes are age and corrosion, high water pressure, and ground movement. We'll tell you what caused yours.
