Hills Emergency Plumbing Pros
24/7 Plumbing Assistance Throughout The Hills District
If you have dealt with burst pipes or leaking pipes lately, you are not alone. Thousands of Australian homes are dealing with the same problem. This can be caused by a number of factors, including temperature changes, age of the pipes, and water pressure. Whatever the cause, it is important to get the problem fixed as soon as possible to avoid further damage.
While the degree of urgency may differ depending on the severity of the problem, all burst and leaking pipe repairs should be carried out by a qualified professional. This is not a job that you should attempt to do yourself, as it can be very dangerous.
At Hills Emergency Plumber, we have a team of qualified and experienced plumbers who are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We understand that burst and leaking pipes can happen at any time, so we are always on call to help you.
There are a few reasons your pipes could be bursting or leaking. They include:
The Australian winter can get pretty chilly, and if your pipes aren’t properly insulated, they could freeze over. This causes the water inside to expand, putting pressure on the pipe and causing it to burst.
If the joints in your pipes are old or damaged, they could start to leak. This is especially a problem if the pipes are made of metal, as the joints can corrode over time.
If you have trees in your yard, their roots could be growing into your pipes and causing them to leak or burst. This is more of a problem in older homes with clay pipes, as the roots can easily break through them.
If the temperature outside changes suddenly, it can cause your pipes to expand or contract, which can lead to leaks.
So, if you’re having problems with your pipes bursting or leaking, it could be due to one of these four things. Some leaks are hard to see, but here are a few signs you should look out for:
Regardless of how hidden your leaks are, we use an array of leak detection techniques to accurately find the source of your leak. Once we’ve found the leak, our team of experienced plumbers will repair or replace the pipe to fix the problem.
There are many problems that come with bursting and leaking pipes. They include:
When a pipe bursts, the water that is contained within it will spray out with a lot of force. This could ruin any electronics or furniture that are nearby.
If the burst pipe is in your walls or ceiling, the water could also damage your insulation and cause mould to grow.
Water spilling from a burst or leaky pipe is not only wasted water, it also means that you’ll have to pay more for your water bill.
A single leak can waste thousands of litres of water per month, so imagine the cost of having multiple leaks!
Not only will you have to pay for the water, but you’ll also have to pay to have the leaks repaired.
Water from a leak will spread outwards, damaging anything in its path. This could include your floors, walls, and even the foundation of your home.
The longer the leak goes unrepaired, the more damage it will cause. Also, if the leak is in a hidden area, such as behind your walls, the damage could be extensive by the time you notice it.
At Hills Emergency Plumber, we understand how frustrating and stressful it can be to have burst or leaking pipes. That’s why we offer a 24/7 plumbing service to help you in your time of need.
No matter what time of day or night it is, our team of experienced plumbers will come to your home or business and repair your pipes. Call us today!
