A burst rarely comes out of nowhere. Spot these early and it's usually a quick repair, not a new ceiling or floor.

Water stains
Brown patches on walls or ceilings mean a pipe is leaking behind them.
Drop in pressure
A sudden loss of water pressure can signal a burst or major leak.
Spiking water bill
A bill jump with no change in use almost always means a hidden leak.
Damp or musty smell
Persistent damp smells point to water escaping where you cannot see it.
Sound of running water
Hearing water with every tap off is a classic hidden-leak sign.
Pooling or wet patches
Wet spots on floors, walls or in the yard need checking fast.
Pipes burst and leak for all sorts of reasons across Melbourne — pressure, age, corrosion, tree movement and cold snaps. Whatever is leaking, the priority is the same: stop the water, limit the damage, and repair it properly — not a band-aid that fails next week. We carry the fittings to repair most bursts on the first visit, and can re-pipe sections where the old run is past saving.
