Burst Pipe Repair FAQs
Common questions about burst pipes and emergency repairs
What should I do immediately if a pipe bursts?
Turn off the water at the main stopcock immediately. Open all cold taps to drain the system as quickly as possible. Turn off the boiler and central heating. Switch off electricity if water is near electrical fittings. Call us immediately.
What causes pipes to burst?
The most common cause is freezing in cold weather. Water expands as it freezes and splits the pipe. When the ice thaws water pours out. Other causes include corrosion, high water pressure, physical damage and poor installation.
How much water can a burst pipe release?
A burst pipe on the mains can release hundreds of litres of water in minutes. A 15mm copper pipe at mains pressure can release over 1,000 litres per hour. This is why immediate action is essential.
Can you repair the pipe on the same visit?
Yes. Our plumbers carry copper and plastic pipe, fittings and repair couplings. Most burst pipe repairs are completed on the first visit. The pipe is isolated and repaired.
How can I prevent pipes from bursting?
Insulate pipes in lofts, garages and unheated spaces with good quality pipe lagging. Keep your heating on low during freezing weather. Fix dripping taps as they can cause pipes to freeze. Know where your stopcock is.
Will my insurance cover burst pipe damage?
Most home insurance policies cover burst pipe damage and the cost of tracing and accessing the leak. Check your policy. We can provide a report for your insurance claim.
