Burst pipe right now? Do this first

  2. Open taps to relieve pressure and drain what is left in the lines.
  3. Move valuables and furniture away from the water.
  4. If water is near power points or switchboards, switch that circuit off only if it is safe to do so.
  5. Call Joniec Plumbing on 1300 575 862. We will talk you through it and tell you if someone is free.

We do not put a set travel time on this page. Call and we will give you a straight answer for your job and suburb.

Signs it may be a burst pipe

Not every damp patch is a full burst, but these often mean something is wrong in the pipework:

  • Unusual noise in the pipes when you use a tap or cistern
  • Sudden drop in water pressure
  • Damp, mould, or soft plaster that keeps coming back
  • Discoloured water
  • Lifting tiles or a wet spot under the house
  • A water bill that jumps for no clear reason

If the leak is hidden and you cannot see where the water is coming from, that is often a leak-detection job rather than a visible burst. See our leak detection page, or call and we will point you the right way.

How we fix a burst pipe

  1. Make safe / limit damage: Stop uncontrolled water where we can and reduce the mess.
  2. Find the fault: Visible splits are usually straightforward. Hidden faults may need careful locating so we are not opening walls at random. We talk access through with you first.
  3. Quote before extra work: Once we know what is needed, you get a straightforward quote before we do more work or order extra parts.
  4. Repair or replace: Materials that meet Australian standards for the job in front of us.
  5. Check the cause: Pressure, age, corrosion, or something else. We tell you what we found so it is less likely to happen again.

Accessible jobs are often sorted on the same visit. Under slabs, behind finishes, or long runs take longer. We give you a clear on-site timeframe before we start the repair, not a drive-time promise on the website.

If it’s a real emergency, we’ll do everything we can to get to you fast and shuffle around less urgent jobs to make room.

Frequently asked questions

What should I do the moment a pipe bursts?

Isolate the main if it is safe, open taps to relieve the lines, move valuables out of the water, and keep clear of electrics if they are wet. Then call 1300 575 862. We’ll talk you through what to do next while we check who’s available.

Yes. We answer the phone 24/7, including public holidays. After-hours rates can apply, and we’ll confirm the cost with you before we start.

A burst usually means water coming out quickly, a sudden drop in pressure, or a wet patch that keeps growing. A slow leak is more likely to show up as damp, mould or a water bill that keeps creeping up. If you cannot see the source, call and we will help you decide whether you need a visible repair or leak detection.

Yes. We confirm the first half hour before we arrive. If the job needs more time or parts, you get a straightforward quote before we do that extra work.

It depends on access. Many visible repairs are done in a couple of hours once we are there. Hidden work under slabs or behind walls takes longer. We give you an on-site timeframe before we start. We do not publish a drive-time ETA on this page.

Often the sudden water damage to finishes and belongings is the part an insurer looks at. The pipe repair itself is often separate. Check your policy and insurer. We can provide invoices and photos of what we found and fixed. This is general information, not insurance advice.
