Water Main Repairs
Deal with your burst water main quickly and efficiently!
Understanding Water Main Bursts
Common causes of water main bursts range from corrosion due to age, especially in old cast iron pipes, to root infiltration pushing pipes out of alignment. Additionally, environmental changes such as nearby construction can force the soil to shift, leading to increased pressure and eventual rupture of your water pipes.
When a water main bursts, it’s key to stay calm and locate your property’s external stop cock to close it down. This valve is usually located in the footpath at the front of your property and can be shut off by turning the handle in a clockwise direction. In moments like these, keeping your neighbours informed is crucial as they too might notice a disruption in their water supply.
