Burst pipe and water leak repairs
Leaks behind walls and beneath slabs usually show up as a damp patch, a warm section of floor or a water bill that has risen without explanation. We use non-destructive leak detection to trace the source before anything is opened up, then repair the section of pipe that has failed.
- Water supply isolated on arrival to limit further damage
- Non-destructive leak tracing before any wall or floor is opened
- Copper, PEX and poly pipe repairs and replacement
- Written detail of the fault for insurance claims on request

Frequently asked questions
Answers to the questions we are asked most often. If your question is not covered here, call us.
How quickly can you get here?
Our phone is answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We are based in Preston and work across the northern suburbs, so response times are short. For emergencies we will give you a realistic arrival time on the phone, and advise you on isolating the water or gas in the meantime.
What does a call-out cost?
You receive a free quote before any work begins. We assess the job, explain what is involved and confirm the price with you. No work goes ahead until you have approved it.
Do you work after hours and on weekends?
Yes. We are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week for emergency plumbing and gas work.
Which suburbs do you cover?
Preston, Reservoir, Thornbury, Northcote, Fairfield, Ivanhoe, Heidelberg, Heidelberg West, Macleod, Greensborough, Bundoora, Mill Park, Epping, Lalor, Thomastown, Coburg, Brunswick, Fawkner, Glenroy and Pascoe Vale, along with the surrounding northern suburbs. If you are just outside this area, call us and ask.
Can you find a drain fault without digging?
In most cases, yes. We run a CCTV camera through the line and record the condition of the pipe, which identifies the fault and its depth from the surface. Any excavation is then limited to that one location.
Do you do gas fitting as well as plumbing?
Yes. We install and connect gas appliances, run new gas points, detect and repair leaks, and carry out carbon monoxide safety checks. Every gas installation is tested and certified on completion.
