What Causes Burst Pipes?

Burst pipes in Brisbane homes often result from a mix of ageing infrastructure, environmental factors, and accidental damage. Understanding the key causes can help prevent costly emergencies:

  1. Pipe brittleness from long-term stress: The most frequent cause of burst pipes is brittleness, which develops over time. In Brisbane’s climate, repeated heating and cooling cycles cause pipe materials to expand and contract. Eventually, this constant movement weakens the pipe walls, making them more prone to cracking or splitting.
  2. General wear and ageing: Older pipework naturally deteriorates with time. Most bursts occur at the weakest spots, typically joints and connections. Since most plumbing is hidden behind walls, beneath floors, or in the ceiling, issues can go unnoticed until significant damage occurs.
  3. Failing joints and loose fittings: In older homes especially, worn-out joints or compromised fittings are common culprits. These weak links in your plumbing can give way suddenly, leading to serious leaks or pipe bursts if not repaired promptly.
  4. Excess pressure from blockages: When a pipe is blocked, water pressure builds up behind the obstruction. If the pressure has nowhere to go, it forces its way out often by bursting through the weakest part of the pipe. Kitchen and bathroom drains are particularly vulnerable to this.
  5. Accidental damage during renovations: Backyard landscaping, fence post installation, or even digging for a new pool can lead to burst pipes if underground plumbing lines aren’t properly located beforehand. Renovation-related pipe damage is a common issue in Brisbane homes.
  6. Environmental stress from temperature changes: Even though Brisbane doesn’t see freezing winters, temperature shifts especially in the ground or concrete surrounding pipes can still cause them to expand and contract. If the pipes are already weakened by corrosion or age, these fluctuations can push them to breaking point.
  7. Water hammering: Water hammer refers to the shockwaves sent through pipes when taps are turned off quickly. The repeated force can weaken pipe walls over time, particularly in older systems, and may eventually result in a pipe bursting.

What Should You Do If You Discover a Burst Pipe?

  1. Shut off the water supply immediately. Use your main stop valve, if unsure, call us and we’ll help locate it.
  2. Switch off power if water is near electricals.
  3. Photograph the damage for insurance.
  4. Call us right away. You’ll speak to an actual qualified plumber, not a call centre. Our team will guide you through the next steps and get to work on resolving the issue quickly.

Time is critical when dealing with burst pipes. The quicker you act, the less damage there will be to your property and the faster we can fix the problem.

Burst Water Pipe FAQs

  • What should I do if I have a burst pipe in my home? Shut off your main water supply immediately and call a licensed plumber. Until help arrives, keep water and electricity safely separated and document any damage for insurance.

  • I had Tom from Weekend Plumbing Co. come out this morning, and I couldn’t be happier. From the moment I booked the appointment, the communication was smooth and friendly. Tom arrived on time, was professional, and took the time to explain what needed to be done before getting started. The quality of the work was excellent — efficient, thorough, and tidy. I would definitely recommend Weekend Plumbing Co. to anyone looking for reliable and top-notch plumbing service!

    Melanie Ullner
  • Tom came out to assess our blocked kitchen drains, he went above and beyond to ensure the sink was draining before he left. Even though we couldn’t afford the whole works required today, the quote was reasonable but out of my budget this week - he went to work with his plunger and made sure the sink was draining to see us through the next couple of weeks until we book in for repairs and maintenance. Really polite and punctual, highly recommend this business, especially grateful for Tom’s help today!

    Amanda Bate
