Fast Response for Burst Water Mains

A burst water main can cause significant disruption, affecting your water supply and, in some cases, leading to flooding around your property. While some issues are the responsibility of your water supplier, others may involve the private pipework serving your home.

Plumbco can help identify where the problem lies and provide expert advice on the most appropriate course of action.

Understanding the Difference

The pipe supplying water to your home is divided into two sections.

The public water main is maintained by your local water company, while the supply pipe leading from the boundary of your property to your home is usually the homeowner's responsibility.

If you're unsure where the fault is located, our experienced plumbers can investigate and advise you.

Signs of a Burst Water Main or Supply Pipe

 You may notice:

  • A sudden loss of water pressure
  • Water pooling outside your property
  • Damp patches appearing in the ground
  • Unexpectedly high water bills
  • Water flowing where it shouldn't

 Early investigation can help prevent further damage and unnecessary water loss.

Future-Proof Your Plumbing

Replacing ageing pipes before they fail can help reduce the risk of unexpected leaks, improve water flow and provide greater confidence in your home's plumbing system.

Our team can also identify any related issues while carrying out the work, helping prevent problems developing later.

Our Service

We'll inspect the visible plumbing and supply pipe where accessible, helping determine the cause of the problem.

If repairs are required on your private water supply, we'll explain the work involved and provide a clear quotation before proceeding.

Where the fault falls under the responsibility of the water company, we'll advise you accordingly so the issue can be reported quickly.
