Burst pipe right now? Do these five things first
If water is actively flowing, work through these steps before you do anything else. They stop the damage and keep you safe.
-
Shut off the water at the meter.
Your water meter is usually near the front boundary of the property. Turn the tap clockwise until it stops. This cuts the supply to the whole house.
-
If water is near power points or the meter box, switch off the power.
Go to your switchboard and turn off the main switch. Water and electricity together are dangerous - do not touch anything wet near a power point until the power is off.
-
Open the lowest tap in the house to drain the line.
This relieves pressure and lets the remaining water run out at a controlled point rather than out of the burst.
-
Move valuables and lift soft furnishings off wet floors.
Get rugs, electronics, boxes and furniture up and out of the water while you wait.
-

We will take it from here and get a team to you.

How the repair gets done
-
Locate
We pinpoint the burst with detection gear - acoustic, thermal or tracer gas - so the repair is targeted to the exact spot, not a guess that tears up half your floor.
-
Coordinate
We arrange a licensed plumber to come out and carry out the repair or replacement. That is often our parent company, Plumbed Right. We organise the booking for you.
-
Repair and Test
The repairing plumber fixes the affected section and pressure-tests the line to confirm the burst is sorted and there are no further leaks.
-
Document
You get a written report and photos of the burst for your insurance claim, plus assistance with your Water Corporation Leak Allowance application.
We are detection specialists. We do not repair the pipe on site after finding it - we arrange a licensed plumber to come out and carry out the repair in a separate visit, so the whole job is handled without you lining up two different trades yourself.
We help with your insurance claim.
A burst pipe often means an insurance claim, and insurers want proof of what happened and where. We handle that paperwork for you. We photograph and document the burst, provide a written report showing exactly where the pipe failed, and can assist with your Water Corporation Leak Allowance application. That is the documentation insurers and Water Corp ask for, so your claim and your wasted-water rebate are not held up by missing paperwork.

Burst pipe questions, answered.
Still have questions? Call us any time - we answer 24/7.
Will my insurance cover it?
Most home and contents policies cover sudden burst-pipe damage, though cover varies between insurers and policies. What insurers consistently ask for is proof of what happened and where, which is exactly what we provide - photos, a written report on the failed section, and assistance with your Water Corporation Leak Allowance application. We cannot approve your claim for you, but we make sure the documentation that holds claims up is in your hands from day one.
How fast can you get to me?
We answer the phone 24/7, and for an active burst we treat it as urgent and get a team moving as quickly as we can. 47 minutes average response time across Perth metro. The fastest thing you can do is call straight away so we can talk you through shutting the water off while we are on the way.
Do you fix the pipe on the spot?
No - we are leak-detection specialists. We locate the burst and document it, then we coordinate a licensed plumber (often our parent company, Plumbed Right) to carry out the repair in a separate visit. We book that plumber in for you and hand over the location report, so you are not chasing a second tradie or paying someone to find the same burst twice.
What does it cost?
Detection is charged from the first-hour rate - the urgent / same-day first hour is $695, with additional hours at $220 - and our no-find-no-fee guarantee means there is no charge for the visit if we cannot locate a leak greater than 10 litres per hour, audible or weeping. The repair is quoted separately by the licensed plumber we coordinate ($475-$795 guide range) and confirmed in writing before any work starts.
