Signs Burst & Leaking Pipes Can't Wait
Some pipe problems can sit until a weekday booking. These signs mean this one can't.
- Water spraying, pooling fast, or a hiss coming from inside a wall cavity or cupboard.
- A sudden drop in water pressure with no obvious tap left running.
- A ceiling that's sagging, bulging, or showing a fresh brown stain.
- The water meter still spinning after every tap in the house is off.
- A wet patch on the lawn or driveway that keeps reappearing.
- Water pooling near a hot water unit or under a laundry trough.
A slow drip that never spreads is usually a job for leaking tap repair, not a burst.
What Burst & Leaking Pipes Covers
This service covers any pipe that's split, cracked, or leaking hard enough to threaten flooring, ceilings, or walls, whether it's copper supply pipe, an older galvanised line, or a flexi-hose connection under a sink.
Burst supply pipe repair. We isolate the failed section, cut out the damaged length, and rejoin it to stop the leak and restore pressure.
Flexi-hose replacement. A split or corroded flexi-hose under a sink or toilet gets swapped for a proper fitting, not just patched.
Ceiling and wall leak tracing. Where the burst is hidden inside a cavity, we trace it back to source before opening anything up.
Pressure testing after the fix. Every repair gets tested under pressure so a hidden second fault doesn't show up next week.
Burst & Leaking Pipes: What Affects the Cost
No two burst pipes cost the same to fix. What moves the price is mostly how hard the damaged section is to reach and how much has to be undone to get there.
- Access: a pipe under a slab or behind tiled walls takes longer to reach than one in an open subfloor.
- Extent: one clean split costs less to fix than a corroded run failing in more than one spot.
- Parts on hand: most fittings ride on the van, but an unusual valve size can add a return trip.
- Time of call: an after-hours job doesn't carry a different rate, though it may take longer to work through in the dark.
- Scope: a single burst under one sink is a smaller job than a supply line failing at multiple points.
Whatever the scope, expect $0 Call Out Fee and fair, upfront pricing, agreed before any tool touches your pipes, and Best Price Guaranteed behind it.
The Local Story Behind Burst & Leaking Pipes
Mortlake's mix of pre-1940 cottages and the newer apartment and townhouse blocks built since the gasworks site closed means two very different pipe stories exist side by side.
The large stock of modern apartments and townhouses contains many flexi-hose connections that burst and flood units without warning. Streets like Whittaker Street, lined with this newer stock, carry exactly that risk behind kitchen and laundry cabinetry.
Older cottages fail differently, usually through corroded copper or a joint finally giving way, but flexi-hose splits in the newer stock are what our team sees most on this job.
Licensing and Responsibility, Made Simple
In NSW, any burst pipe repair involving the water supply has to be carried out by a licensed plumber, and work touching a gas line needs separate gas-fitting authorisation. We hold both licences in-house, so a burst near a gas connection doesn't mean waiting on a second tradesperson.
What's inside your boundary, from the meter to your fixtures, is your responsibility to maintain. We work to AS/NZS 3500 plumbing standards on every repair, and the labour on each job is backed by the Lifetime Labour Warranty.
What Happens When You Book Burst & Leaking Pipes
First: get the water off at the meter, if you can reach it safely. We'll talk you through this on the call before we've even left.
We arrive and isolate the problem properly, working the burst pipe repair back to its actual source, not just the visible leak.
In the newer flexi-hose-heavy blocks near Whittaker Street, that isolation step is usually quick, since the failed fitting sits in an accessible cupboard rather than a wall cavity.
We'll tell you exactly what's wrong and the best way to fix it, then fair, upfront pricing before any work starts.
Repaired, pressure-tested and cleaned up. Quality Workmanship Guaranteed on every burst pipe repair.
Most burst pipe repairs are sorted in a single visit, though a hidden leak that needs tracing through a wall or slab typically takes a bit longer to isolate.
Why Trust Us With Burst & Leaking Pipes
A burst pipe rarely waits for a convenient hour, so we answer every call the same way, day or night, and get moving straight away.
On-site, we'll tell you exactly what's wrong and the best way to fix it, rather than guessing behind a wall cavity and hoping.
And if a repaired fitting ever fails again for the same reason, that's covered under warranty, not a fresh bill.
Surrounding Areas We Service Too
We take burst pipe repair calls well beyond Mortlake itself, out to Cabarita, Concord and Rhodes. If what's dripping is closer to a worn washer than a full burst, our leaking tap repair team covers that, and if you're chasing a leak you can't see, water leak detection is the one to book.

Good questions, straight answers
Mortlake Burst & Leaking Pipes: Common FAQs
Here are the questions Mortlake households ask us most when a pipe lets go without warning.
What happens if the problem returns after Burst & Leaking Pipes?
If the same fault comes back, we return and put it right without billing you again. Getting the repair done properly the first time is what standing behind our own work actually means.
Can I book Burst & Leaking Pipes at night or on a public holiday?
Yes. A real person answers any hour, including public holidays, anywhere across Mortlake and greater Canada Bay, and we send a plumber out the same way we would on a weekday afternoon.
Can I try to fix it myself before calling?
Turning the water off at the meter is genuinely useful and safe to do yourself. Beyond that, cutting or rejoining pipework needs a licensed plumber, so it's best to leave the repair itself to us.
Should I call now or can Burst & Leaking Pipes wait until morning?
If water is actively spreading, call now rather than waiting. A slow, contained drip can usually hold until morning, but anything moving across a floor or dripping through a ceiling shouldn't sit overnight.
How do I stop this happening again?
The most useful step is fixing the actual cause, not just the visible leak, which is what our diagnosis is built around. Beyond that, replacing an obviously worn fitting before it fails is worth doing rather than waiting for the same failure twice.
Why does this keep happening?
Pipework fails for a handful of predictable reasons: corrosion, a worn seal, or a joint that's simply reached the end of its life. We check the surrounding pipework while we're there so a second failure doesn't catch you out a few months later.
