A burst pipe can flood your home in minutes. We stop the damage fast — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — and repair the pipe to a permanent standard.
Burst pipes are one of the most destructive plumbing emergencies. Every minute water runs unchecked means more damage to floors, walls, ceilings and your belongings. Lightning Response Plumbing treats burst pipe calls as the highest priority — we dispatch immediately and aim to be on-site within the hour.
Our plumbers carry the parts and tools needed to repair most burst pipe types in a single visit, whether it's a copper supply line, a PVC drain pipe, or a poly flexible fitting. We'll also advise on any secondary damage or issues that need addressing.
Don't ignore these warning signs — acting early saves money and prevents further damage.
Visible high-pressure water escaping from a pipe — turn off the main stop valve and call us immediately.
Damp stains spreading through a wall or ceiling are a sign of a pipe leaking behind the surface.
Water hammer sounds — banging when taps close — can indicate pressure problems that lead to pipe failure.
If pressure drops dramatically at all taps at once, a major pipe may have burst in the system.
A spike in your water bill often means a pipe has been leaking slowly, possibly within walls or under slabs.
Melbourne's cold winter mornings can freeze exposed pipes. As ice expands, it splits the pipe.
Simple, transparent, and efficient — we keep you informed at every step.
