Our Burst Pipe Repair Process

Detection & Diagnosis

The immediate challenge with a burst pipe is often locating the damage, especially if it’s concealed within walls, floors, or underground. Our process begins with rapid Detection & Diagnosis, using cutting-edge, non-invasive technology to find the problem fast. This includes deploying specialized CCTV cameras to navigate and inspect internal pipe structures for cracks or visible damage.

Shut-off & Drainage

Once the burst pipe is located, the immediate priority is to stop the active leak to prevent further flooding or structural water damage. This critical phase, Shut-off & Drainage, involves rapidly isolating the damaged section by turning off the property’s main water supply. In emergencies, this step is paramount to mitigate the costly consequences of escaping water.

Repair or Replacement

With the water secured, the Repair or Replacement phase focuses on permanently fixing the damaged plumbing. The best approach depends on the pipe material, the extent of the damage, and the pipe’s location. If the damage is localized (e.g., a small split), a durable repair involving fitting a sleeve or clamp might suffice. However, if the pipe is severely compromised, corroded, or damaged over a long stretch, we perform a complete section replacement.

Testing & Clean-up

The final stage, Testing & Clean-up, ensures the integrity of the repair and restores your property to its pre-incident condition. First, the water supply is restored, and the repaired pipe is thoroughly tested under full operational pressure. This rigorous testing confirms that the fix is completely watertight, secure, and ready for normal use, eliminating the risk of immediate re-leakage.

    What Our Clients Say

    Best plumbing service I’ve dealt with in a long time. Chris is superb. I was recommended by a family friend. Best to book ahead as he is very busy, but worth the wait. He took into account my mother’s arthritic needs as she had issues with turning the kitchen sink handles and resolved the leaking issue, and took the time to show and explain everything. Thank you, Chris. Hope to deal with you again for further plumbing solutions.

    Suzie Ferreira

    We had a Saturday morning plumbing emergency, with water backing into our downstairs bathroom. Chris arrived within an hour and was able to sort the issue quickly. He explained and demonstrated what the problem had been and provided great advice for possible long term solutions. I chose Civic based on being local and great google reviews and I’m glad we did.

    Ingrid Johnston

    Awesome service. Called up and had my hot water tank replaced. Chris the plumber even helped me out by removing a rusty screw. Great service, from first call to problem being fixed was less than 45 minutes.
