Act now
In most Brisbane houses it sits in a box or pit near the front boundary. Turn the valve clockwise until it stops.
Units often share a meter, so look for your own isolation valve in the laundry, kitchen, bathroom or a hallway cupboard.
Open a low outside tap to drain the line, switch off the hot water if a hot pipe burst, and keep water away from power.
Where is the leak?
Where the pipe has failed changes how we reach it. Pick the closest match and tell us when you call.
Hissing, a damp patch that grows, or drips through a light.
Braided hoses can split without warning once the braid rusts.
Water bubbling up near the meter or a soggy strip of lawn.
No water in sight, but the meter keeps turning.
A shovel, screw or drill bit through a line.
Trapped air, debris or a second weak spot in the line.
Cannot find where it is coming from?
If the meter runs with every tap off, the break has to be found first.
Burst pipe repairs explained
A burst pipe is rarely a slow problem. Mains water arrives with enough pressure to soak a floor, a wall cavity or a ceiling in minutes, and the longer it runs the more plaster, flooring and cabinetry it reaches. The first job is always to stop the flow. The second is to work out why the pipe failed, so the repair actually lasts.
Joseph confirms the water is isolated, then traces the damage back to where it started. Sometimes that is obvious, like a split braided hose under a vanity. Other times water shows up well away from the break, travelling along a pipe or joist first, so we check the line either side before cutting anything. Once the cause is clear you get a fixed price, and nothing goes ahead until you agree.
Old galvanised steel rusts from the inside until a thin spot fails, often at a thread. Flexi hoses perish and split under mains pressure. High water pressure strains joints so leaks keep returning in new places, and tree roots and shifting clay soil crack older buried lines. Accidental damage from a nail, screw or shovel is common during renovations and garden jobs.
For a single split in healthy copper or PEX, cutting out the damaged length and joining in a new piece is usually right. Galvanised pipe is different: if one part has rusted through, the rest has usually been corroding at the same rate. We show you what we found and explain the choice so you can decide with the full picture.
In apartments the failed pipe may belong to your lot or to common property, so let your body corporate know. For rentals we work with the property manager. Insurance cover varies, but we can provide photos, the cause, a description of the repair and a tax invoice.
After every repair we turn the water back on slowly, bleed the air from the lines and check the new joints under full pressure. Every repair is backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee.

Fixing the split is only half the job. The age and type of pipe tells us whether the rest is likely to follow.
The type of pipe tells us if the rest will follow.
Our Simple 3-Step Process
Cover varies between insurers, and the pipe itself and the water damage may be treated differently. Ask your insurer before major repairs.
We photograph the damaged pipe before and after, and note what failed, such as a split hose or rusted galvanised pipe.
You get a written description of the work and a tax invoice to pass to your insurer, owner or property manager.

FAQ
The questions we get asked most when a pipe gives way.
Yes. We offer an after-hours emergency service for burst pipes. Call 1300 307 903, turn the water off while you are on the phone if you can, and we will tell you when we can get there.
For most Brisbane houses it is in a small box or pit near the front boundary. In units, look for your own isolation valve in the laundry, kitchen, bathroom or a hallway meter cupboard.
It depends on the pipe. A single split in sound copper or PEX is usually repaired with a new section. Old galvanised steel tends to fail again nearby, so we explain the option of replacing the run.
That depends on your policy and your insurer, so check with them. We can provide photos, the cause, a description of the repair and a tax invoice to support your claim.
Once we have found the damage you get a fixed upfront price, and no work starts until you agree. Complex underground or slab leaks may need an assessment fee, credited if the repair goes ahead.
Common reasons are air or debris in the lines, a meter valve not fully reopened, or old galvanised pipe that has narrowed inside. We check the pressure and find the cause.
