Burst Pipe Repairs Brisbane — Fast 24/7 Local Service

A burst pipe can turn an ordinary day into chaos within minutes. Water can flood floors, damage walls, and ruin electrical systems before you even find the main shut-off valve.
That’s why CK Plumbing offers 24/7 burst pipe repairs across Brisbane’s Southside, including Holland Park, Mount Gravatt, Coorparoo, Tarragindi, Carina, and Wishart. When you call, you’ll reach a licensed local plumber — not a call centre.

What Causes a Burst Pipe?

Over the past 15 years, we’ve repaired thousands of leaks around Brisbane homes. The most common causes include:

  • Old copper pipes that have thinned or corroded.
  • High water pressure stressing weak joints.
  • Flexible hoses behind sinks or toilets splitting suddenly.
  • Tree roots pressing against underground lines.
  • Cold-weather expansion cracking older PVC or galvanised pipes.

Understanding the cause helps us prevent it happening again.

How to Respond Before We Arrive

When a pipe bursts, every second counts.

  1. Turn off the main water supply — usually near your water meter.
  2. Switch off power to any affected areas if water is near outlets.
  3. Open taps to relieve pressure in the system.
  4. Move valuables or electronics away from the leak.
  5. Call CK Plumbing immediately on 0432 420 145.

We’ll guide you through any safety steps over the phone while we’re on the way.

Our Burst Pipe Repair Process

Step 1
Locate the Leak

Using moisture meters and pressure testing, we trace the exact point of failure — even under slabs or in walls.

Step 2
Isolate & Contain

We shut down local valves and drain remaining water to prevent further damage.

Step 3
Repair or Replace

Damaged pipe sections are replaced with durable, pressure-rated fittings that meet Australian Standards.

Step 4
Test & Clean Up

Once repaired, the line is pressure-tested and the area cleaned. No mess, no surprises.

Permanent Fixes, Not Temporary Patches

Some plumbers apply a quick clamp and move on. We don’t.
Our repairs are designed to last. Where possible, we’ll upgrade vulnerable sections or recommend a pipe reline if the surrounding area shows corrosion or root intrusion.
