A real person answers, day or night
The first hour after a pipe fails decides the damage bill
Water under pressure punishes weak points fast, so the priority is stopping the flow, then fixing the cause properly rather than patching the symptom. Ring (02) 9072 0504 and talk to a licensed plumber straight away.
Galvanised relics behind the peninsula's plaster
Original supply lines
Renovation-age flexi hoses
Sloping sandstone blocks
Every way we handle a burst, end to end
Five strands of work cover everything a failed line can throw at a house, from the first frantic phone call to a renewed run that will not fail again: emergency plumbing for the make-safe, then the repair work below.
Emergency isolation
Emergency isolation and make-safe: we shut the water off at the meter or the failed section, protect floors and belongings near the leak, and make the house safe before any repair talk begins, so damage stops while options are discussed.
Precise leak location
Acoustic and thermal detection confirms where a pressurised line failed behind double-brick walls or under floors, so we open the smallest access needed rather than exploratory holes across finished rooms, keeping disruption to heritage finishes and plasterwork to a minimum.
Section repair and replacement
A single failed joint or a short damaged run gets a certified repair, while corroded galvanised runs are replaced with modern copper or polymer lines routed carefully through original weatherboard and brick construction to suit the house, its future and any planned renovations.
Flexi hose failures
Braided flexi hoses under vanities and behind cisterns are a leading cause of sudden indoor floods, and we carry common sizes on the van to swap failed ones carefully on the spot above stone benchtops and timber vanities worth protecting.
Full line renewal
When corrosion is systemic rather than local, renewing the affected run with new piping beats patching, because one repair on a dying galvanised line simply schedules the next failure a few months later, and we quote the full renewal upfront.

What a burst looks like before the puddle
A meter that will not sit still
A meter turning with every tap closed means water is escaping somewhere, and on a peninsula where old galvanised services corrode from within, that quiet escape often becomes a full burst within weeks, so treat a creeping meter as urgent.
A wall or ceiling slowly changing
Damp patches spreading across a wall or ceiling, paint bubbling or a musty smell inside a cavity show water tracking where it should not, and the longer it runs the more of the wall's plaster it claims before repairs begin.
Pressure dying at one fixture
One tap suddenly running weakly while its neighbours flow normally points to a supply line failing underground or inside a cavity, shedding pressure long before any water shows at the surface, which makes early leak detection gear worth its keep here.
Why acting fast on a failed pipe matters
Three consequences follow when a burst is left to run, and none of them stay small:
- Water destroys quickly Pressurised water ruins plaster, flooring, skirting and wiring within hours. On sloping bay-side blocks it travels downhill into rooms well below the failure point.
- Repairs compound when delayed A small section failure in an old line rarely stays isolated. Moisture left in cavities invites mould and rot that cost far more than the plumbing ever would.
- Certified work protects the house A properly repaired and pressure-tested line restores the supply and your confidence in the walls around it. Planned maintenance plumbing visits catch the corroded lines before they get there.
How it works
Four steps from burst to fixed
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0504 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.
- 02
Quote before work
Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.
- 03
Isolate and repair the line
Your plumber shuts off the affected section, opens only the access the job needs, replaces the failed pipework with certified fittings suited to the house's era, and pressure-tests the repaired run before walls are closed.
- 04
Backed for life
Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.
Why choose Your Plumber Longueville
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Longueville works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.
Where we work
Where else we cover around the river
Burst pipe work covers Northwood, Riverview, Lane Cove, Woolwich and Greenwich as a matter of routine, since the same interwar housing stock and ageing supply lines run through those streets too, and one crew handles the Lane Cove riverfront area.
Good questions, straight answers
What locals ask about burst pipes
How quickly can you reach a burst pipe?
We work the peninsula and its neighbouring streets constantly, so the van is usually nearby already, and a licensed plumber answers the phone day or night to give you a realistic arrival time.
Should I turn off the water at the meter before you arrive?
Yes, shutting the water off at the meter stops the flow doing further damage, and if the valve is seized or hard to reach, our plumber will handle isolation safely on arrival.
Can you replace old galvanised pipes in heritage homes?
We replace corroded galvanised runs in older Victorian and Federation homes regularly, routing new copper or polymer lines carefully through double-brick and weatherboard construction with minimal disturbance to original finishes.
Does a burst pipe always mean replacing the whole line?
Not always, because a single failed joint or a short damaged run can sometimes be repaired locally, though corrosion running the length of an old galvanised line usually justifies replacing the whole affected run.
Will the repair cost more because it is urgent?
No, the price we quote is the price you pay, with the call out fee at $0 and the full written figure agreed before any work begins, whatever the hour.
Are your plumbers licensed for burst pipe repairs?
Every plumber on the team holds licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance paperwork protecting your home's records always arrives with the invoice without you needing to ask.
