A burst pipe is one of the most sudden and destructive plumbing emergencies a homeowner can face. It can flood rooms, damage walls and flooring, and trigger dangerous mould growth if not handled immediately. In such a crisis, professional burst pipe repair is essential—not only to stop the leak but to fully restore your home to a safe and liveable condition. At Reztor, we specialise in rapid water damage restoration and partner with licensed plumbers to deliver fast, reliable repairs that minimise long-term damage.
What Causes Pipes to Burst?
Understanding the root cause of a pipe burst can help prevent future disasters. Here are the most common reasons pipes fail in Australian homes:
- Ageing or corroded pipes
- Freezing weather conditions (particularly in cooler southern regions or uninsulated homes)
- High water pressure or surges
- Tree root intrusions
- Poor-quality materials or installation
- Ground movement or shifting foundations
Burst pipes aren’t always visible at first—by the time you notice water pooling, the damage may already be extensive. That’s why immediate response is key.
Signs You May Have a Burst Pipe
Some signs of a burst or leaking pipe include:
- Sudden drop in water pressure
- Discoloured or rusty water from taps
- Wet patches on walls, ceilings, or flooring
- Unexplained increase in your water bill
- Damp smells or signs of mould
