What should I do first if a pipe has burst?
Turn the water off at the meter if you can safely reach it, then call. Stopping the flow limits the damage more than anything else you can do while you wait.

What Is Involved
Burst Pipes help in Maddington
With a burst pipe the order matters: stop the water, find the failure, repair it properly. MLC Plumbing works through it in that order, exposes only what the repair needs, and replaces the failed section rather than dressing it up to leak again next season.
Maddington has residential streets close to light industrial and commercial areas, so plumbing work can be anything from a leaking toilet at home to a blocked fixture or maintenance issue at a small workplace. Locally that means homes, workshops and small commercial amenities can have very different plumbing demands on the same day.

Signs of a burst or leaking pipe
- Sudden wet patches, pooling water or a water meter that keeps ticking over
- Water staining on walls, ceilings or inside cabinets
- Hissing, spraying or dripping from exposed pipework
- A patch of lawn or paving that stays wet with no explanation
Why pipes fail
- Ageing copper, poly or galvanised pipework reaching the end of its life
- Corrosion on older external or under-house pipework
- A repair or joint from years ago that has finally let go
- Freeze-thaw and heat stress on exposed external pipework

Good to Know
Burst Pipes questions, answered
Will you have to dig up the garden or the driveway?
Only where the pipe actually runs under it, and only as much as the repair needs. Locating the failure properly first is what keeps the digging small.
How do I check the meter for a hidden leak?
Turn every tap and appliance off, then watch the smallest dial on the meter for a few minutes. If it is still moving, water is going somewhere it should not be.
Do you cover Maddington?
Yes. Maddington sits inside the regular MLC Plumbing service area, along with the surrounding suburbs. Call 0448 471 377 or request a callback and you will be dealing with the plumber who does the work.
