What Causes Burst Pipes in Melton and West Melbourne?
At New Image Plumbing & Gas, we can inspect your pipework, identify the issue and recommend the right solution for your property.
-
High Water Pressure
Water pressure that is too high puts extra strain on pipes, joints and connections. Over time, this pressure can weaken the pipe and cause it to crack or burst.
-
Ageing and Corroded Pipes
Older homes can have pipework that has been in place for many years. Galvanised steel pipes are particularly prone to corrosion as they age. As the pipe walls become thinner and weaker, they are more likely to burst.
-
Ground Movement and Shifting Soil
Changes in soil moisture can cause the ground to expand and contract. This movement can put pressure on underground pipes and pipes installed beneath concrete slabs. Over time, the added stress can cause pipes to break.
-
Tree Root Intrusion
Tree roots grow towards sources of water and can enter small gaps around pipe joints. As the roots grow, they can put pressure on the pipe and cause cracks or breaks. Root-damaged pipes can eventually burst if the problem is left untreated.
-
Poor Installation or Repairs
Poor installation or repairs can weaken pipework and increase the risk of future leaks or bursts. A proper repair addresses the damaged pipe and the reason it failed, helping reduce the risk of the same problem happening again.

How We Repair Burst Pipes in Melton and West Melbourne
Stop the Water and Check the Damage
When we arrive, we turn off the water supply and assess the situation. We then check the plumbing to find where the pipe has burst and how much damage has occurred. If the damaged pipe is behind a wall, under a floor or beneath a concrete slab, we use suitable leak detection equipment to help find its location and avoid unnecessary damage.
Repair or Replace the Damaged Pipe
Once we find the burst pipe, we decide on the best way to fix it based on its location, type and condition. In some cases, we can replace just the damaged section. If the pipe is badly damaged, corroded or worn, we recommend replacing more of the pipe.
Test the Repair
After the repair is complete, we turn the water back on and check the pipe for leaks. We also run the water through the system to make sure everything is working properly. We check the water pressure to make sure it is not putting too much strain on the pipes.
Recommend Ways to Prevent Future Problems
Once the repair is finished, we explain what caused the problem and what you can do to prevent it from happening again.
Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you get to me for a burst pipe in Melton?
We provide burst pipe services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our team aims to respond as quickly as possible to emergency calls, as a burst pipe can cause significant water damage if left unattended.
How long does a burst pipe repair take?
The repair time depends on where the pipe is located and the extent of the damage. A burst pipe that is easy to access can be repaired within a few hours. Pipes located behind walls, under floors or beneath concrete slabs can take longer to access and repair. We will explain the expected timeframe once we assess the problem.
Will you need to cut holes in my walls?
We use advanced detection methods to help narrow down the location of the problem before we access the pipe. When opening is required to reach the damaged pipe, we will explain what is needed before carrying out the work.
Do you repair underground burst pipes?
Yes. We can assess and repair burst pipes located underground, including pipework beneath gardens, driveways and other areas of a property.
What if my burst pipe has caused water damage?
Our priority is to stop the water flow and repair the damaged pipe. Once the plumbing issue is secured, water damage to walls, flooring, ceilings or other areas requires a separate water damage restoration service. We can explain the next steps based on the situation.
