A burst pipe is one of the most urgent plumbing emergencies you can face. When a pipe bursts, water spreads quickly through walls, ceilings, floors and foundations — causing major structural damage, electrical hazards, mould and costly restoration work.

Jayco Plumbing provides rapid-response burst pipe repairs across Greater Sydney. Whether it’s a copper pipe in a wall, a PEX line in a ceiling, a poly pipe outside, or a main supply line underground, we find it and fix it immediately.

No waiting. No guessing. No drama.
Just fast, professional repair — any time, day or night.

Common Causes of Burst Pipes in Sydney

1. High Water Pressure

Sydney homes often have excessive pressure over 500–700kPa — too high for internal pipework.

2. Old or Corroded Pipes

Older homes with:

  • Copper pipes
  • Galvanised steel
  • Earthenware fittings
    …are at high risk of bursting.

Incorrect fittings, tight bends, unsupported pipes or cheap connectors lead to failure.

3. Poor Workmanship

Incorrect fittings, tight bends, unsupported pipes or cheap connectors lead to failure.

4. Temperature Changes

Hot water expansion can crack old or unprotected lines.

5. Faulty Appliances

Dishwashers, fridges, washing machines and hot water systems can cause leaks and bursts.

6. Tree Roots

Roots put extreme pressure on underground pipes.

7. Movement in Building Foundations

Ground movement can cause pressure on pipes buried in walls, slabs or gardens.

8. Joint and Fitting Failures

Push-fit fittings, joins or connectors can blow under pressure.

We identify the exact cause to prevent future bursts.

Signs You Have a Burst Pipe

  • Sudden drop in water pressure
  • Water pooling indoors
  • Dripping sounds in walls
  • Ceiling sagging or staining
  • High water bills
  • Constantly running water meter
  • Damp carpets or swelling floorboards
  • Wet patches in your garden
  • Mould or mildew smells
  • Hot spots on the floor (hot pipe burst)

If you notice any of these signs, you need immediate attention.
