What's usually behind it in Wantirna
Mains pressure in parts of Wantirna 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. For Wantirna customers, that usually means same-day service.
Most Wantirna homes are post-war and 1970s brick veneer on decent-sized blocks, which means long sewer runs and plenty of tree roots.
