Blocked Drains North Turramurra

Burst pipes in residential properties cause immediate water damage, pressure loss, and uncontrolled water bills until the leak is isolated and repaired. Ageing galvanised steel or copper pipes corrode internally over decades, weakening until they split under normal operating pressure. Ground movement in reactive clay soils or landscaping work that disturbs pipe bedding can also stress joints and create fractures. Temperature fluctuations rarely cause pipe bursts in Sydney's climate, but sudden pressure surges from water hammer or faulty fixtures can rupture weakened sections.

When a pipe bursts, the priority is stopping water flow to prevent further damage. We isolate the affected section, assess the extent of the leak using electronic detection tools where the break isn't visible, and recommend repair or replacement based on pipe condition. For accessible sections in walls or under floors, pipe relining provides a trenchless solution by inserting a resin-coated liner that hardens inside the damaged pipe, creating a new internal surface without excavation. This method preserves landscaping, tiling, and structural finishes while delivering a long-term repair.

North Turramurra homes with original plumbing from the 1960s or earlier often have sections of galvanised steel that have corroded through after 50+ years of service. What starts as a pinhole leak can escalate to a full rupture within hours if internal pressure isn't controlled. In older pipe networks, one burst is sometimes followed by additional failures nearby as weakened sections give way under restored pressure once the first leak is repaired.

Our emergency response for ruptured pipes includes immediate dispatch to isolate the leak and minimise water damage, followed by onsite assessment and fixed-price quoting for the repair. If you're dealing with an active burst, call 1800 349 338 so we can send a plumber to make it safe and explain the next steps once the situation is under control.

Gas fitting and installation in North Turramurra includes new gas line installations, appliance connections, gas leak detection and repair, and compliance testing for existing systems. All gas work in NSW must be performed by a licensed and properly insured gas fitter and comply with AS/NZS 5601.1 standards, which govern safe installation, materials, and pressure testing. Once completed, a compliance certificate is issued to verify the work meets safety requirements and can be used for insurance, council, or property sale purposes.

Gas leaks are identified by the distinctive odour (an added mercaptan scent), hissing sounds near appliances or pipework, or dead vegetation over underground gas lines. If you suspect a leak, isolate the gas supply at the meter if safe to do so, ventilate the area, and arrange immediate professional assessment. We use electronic gas detectors and pressure decay testing to locate leaks behind walls or beneath floors without invasive demolition, then repair or replace the affected section and retest the system to confirm it's gas-tight before recommissioning.

For new gas connections, the process involves running a compliant gas line from the meter to the appliance location, installing isolation valves and termination points, then pressure testing the entire system to confirm there are no leaks before the appliance is connected. We work with natural gas and LPG systems, and coordinate with energy providers where meter upgrades or new service connections are required. Our gas fitters are licensed in NSW and carry the tools and certification required to complete compliant installations that pass inspection.
