How Do You Know You Have a Burst Pipe?
Burst pipes aren’t always immediately visible. While some pipes fail dramatically, others leak behind walls, beneath floors, or underground before the damage becomes obvious. Recognising the warning signs early can help prevent costly repairs and minimise water damage.
Common signs of a burst or leaking pipe include:
- Sudden loss of water pressure
- Water stains on walls or ceilings
- Damp flooring or carpets
- Unexplained increases in your water bill
- Sounds of running water when taps are turned off
- Pooling water around your property
- Visible cracks or splits in exposed pipework
If you notice any of these signs, arranging professional burst pipe repair as soon as possible helps prevent further damage to your plumbing system and property.

Our Burst Pipe Repair Services
Marchant Plumbing and Gas provides comprehensive burst pipe repair services for homes and businesses throughout Perth. Using professional equipment and proven repair methods, we quickly locate damaged pipes, isolate the problem, and restore your plumbing with minimal disruption.
Whether you’re dealing with an exposed burst water pipe, hidden leak, underground pipe failure, or an emergency plumbing situation, our experienced team delivers reliable repairs designed for long-term performance.
Emergency Burst Pipe Repairs
A burst pipe can release large volumes of water in a short time, causing significant damage to walls, ceilings, flooring, and personal belongings. Our licensed plumbers provide 24/7 emergency burst pipe repairs across Perth, quickly isolating the damaged pipe, stopping the leak, and carrying out reliable repairs to restore your plumbing system.
Quickly isolating the water supply is one of the most important steps during a burst pipe emergency. Our plumbers safely shut off the affected section to minimise flooding, protect your property from further water damage, and prepare the plumbing system for efficient repairs.
Water Leak Detection
Not every burst pipe is immediately visible. Hidden leaks behind walls, under floors, or beneath concrete can cause ongoing water damage if left undetected. Using professional leak detection equipment, we accurately locate concealed leaks with minimal disruption. If hidden leaks are suspected, our Water Leak Detection Perth service accurately locates concealed leaks with minimal disruption.
Ceiling & Wall Leak Repairs
Water from a burst pipe often travels behind walls or through ceilings before becoming visible. We identify the source of the leak, repair the damaged pipe, and ensure your plumbing system is operating correctly before recommending any additional restoration work that may be required.
Pipe Repairs
Damaged or leaking pipes don’t always require complete replacement. Our plumbers assess the condition of the affected pipework and carry out professional pipe repairs using quality materials designed to restore your plumbing system safely and efficiently while helping prevent future leaks.
Underground Pipe Repairs
Underground burst pipes can result in unexplained water loss, soggy ground, reduced water pressure, and increasing water bills. We locate damaged underground pipework and carry out reliable repairs while minimising disruption to your landscaping wherever possible.
Water Pipe Replacement
When a pipe is severely damaged, corroded, or beyond repair, replacement may be the most reliable long-term solution. We replace damaged water pipes using quality materials and proven installation methods to restore safe, dependable water flow throughout your property.
Regular plumbing inspections help identify ageing pipework, corrosion, leaks, and other issues before they become costly emergencies. Our preventative inspections allow us to detect potential problems early, helping extend the lifespan of your plumbing system and reduce the risk of future burst pipes.
Common Causes of Burst Pipes
Burst pipes can occur for many reasons, and identifying the underlying cause is just as important as repairing the damage. Understanding why a pipe failed helps reduce the risk of future plumbing emergencies.
Common causes include:
- Ageing or corroded pipework
- Excessive water pressure
- Ground movement or soil settlement
- Tree root intrusion
- Poor installation or worn fittings
- Accidental damage during renovations or excavation
- Extreme temperature changes
After completing your burst water pipe repair, we’ll explain what caused the problem and recommend practical solutions to help prevent future failures.
How We Repair Burst Pipes
Every burst pipe repair begins with identifying the source of the problem. Once the damaged section has been located, we isolate the water supply, assess the condition of the surrounding pipework, and recommend the most suitable repair solution.
Locating the Damaged Pipe
Our plumbers carefully inspect your plumbing system to identify the exact location of the burst or leaking pipe. Where required, we use professional diagnostic equipment to locate hidden pipe failures while minimising unnecessary disruption.
Isolating the Affected Water Supply
Before any repairs begin, we isolate the affected section of the water supply to prevent further flooding and protect your property from additional water damage.
Repairing or Replacing the Damaged Pipe Section
Depending on the extent of the damage, we either repair the affected pipe or replace the damaged section using quality materials designed for long-lasting performance.
Pressure Testing the Repaired Pipe
Once repairs are complete, we pressure test the plumbing system to ensure the repaired pipe is watertight and operating safely under normal water pressure.
Confirming the plumbing system is operating correctly
Before completing the job, we test your plumbing system to confirm that water pressure has been restored and all repairs are functioning correctly. We also provide practical advice to help reduce the risk of future burst pipes.
Where hidden leaks are suspected, we also provide professional Water Leak Detection services to accurately locate concealed leaks while minimising unnecessary damage to walls, floors, and landscaping.
Preventing Future Burst Pipes
While not every burst pipe can be prevented, regular plumbing maintenance and early intervention significantly reduce the likelihood of major failures.
Helpful preventative measures include:
- Scheduling routine plumbing inspections
- Replacing ageing or corroded pipework
- Monitoring unusually high water pressure
- Repairing small leaks before they worsen
- Addressing tree root intrusion near underground pipes
- Having hidden leaks professionally investigated
Proactive maintenance helps protect your property and extends the lifespan of your plumbing system.
