Our Range of Burst Pipe Repair Services

At Upside Down Plumbing, we take pride in our expertise in repairing and replacing various piping materials commonly used across Australia. Our team is proficient in handling all brands of plastics and a range of metal varieties. When you reach out to us, rest assured that we’ll dispatch one of our specialists to swiftly address your burst pipe concerns.

Copper Pipes

Among the piping materials we frequently encounter, copper pipes remain a prevalent choice, despite evolving trends. Traditionally favoured and still valued for its reliability, copper piping has undergone shifts in popularity due to cost considerations and corrosion issues, particularly in hot water systems.

However, copper piping remains a steadfast option for cold water and gas applications. Should you encounter leaks or bursts in your copper piping, prompt attention is crucial. Contact Upside Down Plumbing, and our burst pipe experts will promptly attend to your needs. Equipped with a variety of copper piping sizes stocked in our vans, we strive to complete the necessary repairs without delay.

Plastic Pipes

Are you experiencing issues with a leaking plastic sewer pipe or a faulty plastic water pipe? It’s not uncommon to encounter leaks and bursts in these rigid plastic pipes.

These types of pipes are susceptible to breakages caused by ground shifts, internal movements within the house, UV light exposure, or accidental impacts. At Upside Down Plumbing, we have the expertise to address any leaking or burst plastic piping concerns you may have.

Our skilled plumbing technicians are equipped to repair or replace problematic sections of plastic pipes, and if necessary, we can even undertake a complete system overhaul to ensure lasting reliability. Rest assured, we’ve got you covered for all your plastic piping needs.

Polyethylene Pipes

Polyethylene pipes are commonly installed outdoors to facilitate water transportation to and from residential properties or apartment blocks. Despite their inherent flexibility, versatility, and resistance to weather conditions and UV rays, they are still susceptible to leaks or bursts.

Issues such as ground movements causing fittings to separate, improper installation practices, or accidental damage inflicted during gardening or excavation endeavours can all contribute to the occurrence of leaks or bursts in polyethylene pipes.

When such problems arise, it’s imperative to seek the expertise of a fully qualified professional from Upside Down Plumbing for prompt replacement and resolution.

Hepworth Pipes

Accidentally hitting a Hepworth pipeline while working at home can lead to immediate concerns, requiring expert assistance. When faced with such a situation, Upside Down Plumbing is your go-to solution.

Despite its durability, brass fittings are not immune to leaks, necessitating intervention by a fully certified plumbing contractor. This is where Upside Down Plumbing steps in.

Regardless of the underlying cause behind your brass fittings leaking, our professionals possess the expertise to effectively repair or replace them, ensuring optimal performance and durability.
