What to do if there is a Leak or a Burst Pipe
Step 1
Turn off the water at the meter – Locate your water meter (read our handy guide here) and turn it off.
Step 2
Turn on your garden tap – this will allow the water still in the system to run out there, rather than putting more pressure on the burst or leaking pipe.
Step 3
Call Expert Plumbing & Gas Services – We will get a plumber out to you quickly to address the leak and provide solutions. If the leak is underground or in a wall, we have specialised equipment to locate, repair and replace the pipe.
“I can only recommend Ash and Expert Plumbing"
“When we had a plumbing emergency at our house in Yarraville early one morning, we called Expert Plumbing based on their good reviews. Well we weren’t disappointed, they had Ash come out directly from another job, he had our major leak fixed in what seemed like no time at all. He was very professional but also friendly enough to have an in depth conversation about plumbing with our 2 year old. Expert were also very fair when it came to the final invoice, I can only recommend Ash and Expert Plumbing, thanks guys!!”

“My experience with Expert plumbing was brilliant!”
“My experience with Expert plumbing was brilliant!
Everything was organised quickly and efficiently online, and Jackson who came out to do the work was excellent! Super knowledgeable, explained what was broken and what he would do to fix it, got it done in good time and was a joy to chat with! He even gave me tips on plumbing tape and rubber stoppers!
For a super early plumbing job on a Friday morning, this was an awesome time!”

“Communication from the service was also very speedy”
“Theo arrived on time, made helpful suggestions regarding which piping would look best for our kitchen, and cleaned up after himself. Theo was professional and courteous. We are very happy with the quality of his work and no one has noticed the external piping because of how he blended it with our kitchen. Communication from the service was also very speedy and they provided us with a fixed cost quote which we appreciated very much. Thank you!”

Frequently Asked Questions
We locate the source of the burst, isolate the issue, and carry out effective repairs or pipe replacements where required. Whether the pipe is inside the building or underground, we work efficiently to reduce disruption and protect your property from further damage.
What causes pipes to burst?
Burst pipes are commonly caused by ageing or corroded pipes, defective fittings, temperature changes, high water pressure, or accidental damage from digging or building works.
What should I do if a pipe bursts?
Turn off the water at the main water meter immediately. If you can’t locate it, turn on outside taps to reduce pressure, then contact a plumber straight away.
Is a burst pipe considered an emergency?
Yes. Burst pipes can cause serious water damage to walls, floors, and foundations if not addressed quickly and should be treated as an urgent plumbing issue.
How do you locate a burst pipe?
We use pressure testing and visual inspections to locate the damaged section of pipe, whether it’s inside the building or underground.
Can burst pipes cause structural damage?
Yes. Ongoing water leaks can weaken foundations, cause wall cracking, promote mould growth, and damage flooring and electrical systems.
Do burst pipes always need pipe replacement?
Not always. In some cases, a section of pipe can be repaired. However, if the pipe is old or heavily corroded, replacement is often the best long-term solution.
