Our Blocked Drains Repair Process
Emergency Call and Advice
Call us immediately when you discover a burst pipe. We’ll guide you through turning off your main water supply to stop the flooding while we dispatch a plumber to your location urgently.
Stop the Water Flow
Upon arrival, we’ll quickly assess the situation, confirm the water is shut off, and identify the burst pipe location. If you haven’t already turned off the water, we’ll locate your main water valve and stop the flow immediately.
Damage Assessment
We’ll inspect the burst pipe to determine the cause, extent of damage, and best repair method. We’ll check surrounding pipes for similar wear or damage that could cause future problems.
Isolation and Drainage
If possible, we’ll isolate the burst pipe section using stop valves, allowing us to restore water to unaffected parts of your home while we repair. We’ll drain remaining water from the affected pipes before beginning repairs.
Pipe Repair or Replacement
Depending on the damage, we’ll either repair the burst section or replace it entirely with new pipe. We use quality materials that meet Australian Standards and proper joining techniques to ensure a lasting repair that won’t fail again.
Pressure Testing
Before closing up walls or covering pipes, we pressure test the repair to ensure it’s watertight and can handle normal water pressure without leaking. This verification step is crucial for peace of mind.
Water Restoration
Once the repair is complete and tested, we’ll restore your water supply and check all taps and fixtures to ensure proper water flow and pressure throughout your home. We’ll monitor for any signs of leaks.
Clean Up and Advice
We’ll clean up the work area, removing debris and water. We’ll advise you on monitoring the repair and discuss any preventative measures to avoid future burst pipes.
