What to Do if You Have a Burst Pipe
If you have a burst pipe or major water leak, the first step is to stop the water where possible. Turn off the water at the main isolation valve or water meter if it is safe to do so. Move valuables away from the affected area and avoid touching electrical fittings, power points or appliances near water.
Once the water is isolated, call a plumber to inspect the damaged pipework and confirm the best repair option. Some burst pipes can be repaired on the spot, while others may need a section of pipe replaced, especially if the pipework is old, badly corroded or damaged underground.

What Causes Burst Pipes on the Gold Coast?
Burst pipes can happen for several reasons, especially in older homes, coastal properties and areas where pipework has been exposed to ground movement, corrosion or poor installation. On the Gold Coast, we often see burst pipe issues caused by ageing water mains, damaged fittings, tree root movement, high water pressure, renovation work, accidental digging and worn pipework that has reached the end of its service life.
Some burst pipes are obvious, with water spraying from the ground, wall or ceiling. Others are harder to spot and may only show up as damp patches, mould, bubbling paint, soft flooring, low water pressure or a sudden increase in water usage.
Blackjade Plumbing can inspect the issue, locate the damaged pipework where possible, and explain whether the best option is a repair, partial pipe replacement or further investigation.
