Repairing a burst or broken pipe
 

Of all the plumbing maintenance in your home, dealing with a burst or broken pipe can be one of the most stressful. A broken pipe can cause major damage to your house and electrics. If you have a burst pipe, Melbourne plumbing leaders Express Plumbing & Gas recommend you:

 

  1. Immediately turn off your water supply. 
  2. Switch off your electricity. If safe, switch off your electrics at the mains. If the broken pipe is near the mains switch, do not touch it and call a qualified electrician. 
  3. Drain the system quickly by turning on all your cold taps to full and flushing toilets repeatedly to help stop water flow to your broken pipe. 
  4. Switch off your hot water system. Once your hot water system is closed down, turn on your hot water taps to help stop water flow to your broken pipe. 
  5. Remain safe and alert. Your broken pipe may have caused structural damage to ceilings and other parts of your house. 
  6. See if you can fix the problem yourself. If your broken pipe is actually a loose screw fitting, see if you can tighten it yourself. If it needs repairing, call the Melbourne plumbing experts at Express Plumbing & Gas on 1300 349 532. One of our professional Melbourne plumbers will be able to help you quickly and efficiently.

 

  

It's best to keep on top of your plumbing maintenance. But when things do go wrong, call Express Plumbing & Gas on 1300 349 532. One of our professional Melbourne plumbers will get the job done for you.

  2. Hi,

    We just had Express Plumbing and Gas out to fix our water pressure and I was so pleased with everything. I just wanted to let you know! The entire process has been a breeze, with professional and speedy service from Sefton and the guys. The quote was extremely reasonable, both the works and the quote were all completed within a working week. We’re wrapped with the result. So thank you very much for making it such an easy process! We will defiantly use you again and recommend you to anyone who needs plumbing or gas works!

    Kind Regards, Tessa Hayman



  3. I was please that the plumber was able to provide prompt service (I phoned on Tuesday afternoon and he did the job next day.) The Plumber Sefton was pleasant, efficient and patient, despite the job turning out to be more difficult then expected. I was impressed that the Sefton appeared to have all the equipment needed to do the job, including welding equipment and concrete cutting gear. I would certainly recommend your firm and if I need a plumber in the future (not too soon I hope!) I will contact you again.

    Best Wishes, Graham Carberry



  4. Thanks again for the work that you completed at our address on Tuesday.  Once again, it was completed with the highest level of professionalism.  My house was left neat and today and it would be hard to know that anyone had been here.  I will continue to recommend your company to anyone that requires a plumber.

    Regards, Kriston Potts



  5. I found Express Plumbing and Gas to be an excellent company.  I recently had to organize the laying of new water pipes and installation of separate water meters to our block of units.  The work was done quickly and efficiently.  I found them to be friendly and also professional.  We intend to use them for any future gas and plumbing services at our units.

    Cheers Tony Burrows
