Attempting DIY can not only cause greater damage but can also cost you more time and money. In this blog post, we are discussing the most common plumbing and gas-related troubles we get called for:

Burst Pipes Adelaide

This plumbing trouble can be a nightmare for both your home and your wallet and has the potential to cause a great deal of damage and loss in just a short span of time. There are a number of reasons why burst pipes occur, including rust, old pipes, mineral build-up, poor installation or accidents attempting DIY installations or repairs in the bathroom or kitchen. Did you know that damaged pipes have the potential to cause floods in your home? Also, there are many times that a hidden or underground leaking pipe can go undetected for a long time adding up your water bill. Signs to look for are:

  • A drop in water pressure indicates a leak.
  • Muddy, rusty water which means you could be dealing with rusted pipes.
  • Be wary of blocked pipes or drains, especially tree root infiltration, as it can block the flow of water resulting in pressure build-up potentially leading to a burst further along the line.
  • Notice any damp walls, discolouration or wet spots on the walls of your house?
  • Look for any floor tile warping
  • Keep an eye on your water bill and if you see a sudden jump then it could point to a leak.

If you notice any of these signs then do not delay calling a professional plumber who can help detect the leak and fix the problem ASAP.

What To Do In A Burst Pipe Emergency

First things first: if you’re experiencing a pipe burst, call a professional emergency plumber Adelaide and follow these few steps to reduce water damage and contain the leak:

  •  Turn off your water main. Completely switch off your water supply.
  •  If you think the leak from the pipe burst may have reached any of the electrical sockets take precautions and turn off the electricity too.
  • Clean up the excess water by mopping to prevent mold and mildew.
