BURST PIPES
A burst pipe is one of the most urgent plumbing issues you can face — and fast action is critical. Whether it’s flooding your property or just a slow leak hidden behind a wall, Mackie Plumbing and Gas has the experience and tools to respond quickly and repair it properly.
Burst pipes are common across Perth due to aging pipework, extreme heat, shifting soil conditions, and high water pressure. If left unchecked, a burst pipe can cause extensive water damage to your home or business — not to mention lead to higher water bills and costly repairs.
Our plumbers are trained to locate the issue fast, isolate the leak, and carry out long-lasting repairs. We carry replacement parts for copper, poly, and PVC pipework — and can often complete repairs in a single visit.
What to do if you have a burst pipe:
- Turn off your water at the mains immediately
- Call Mackie Plumbing and Gas for urgent assistance
- Avoid using taps or appliances until we’ve assessed the damage
Why burst pipes happen:
- Old or corroded pipes
- Excessive water pressure
- Movement in foundations or soil
- Tree root intrusion
- Poor pipe installation
