Why Pipes Burst in Older Homes

Water expands when it freezes and pushes the pipe until it splits. The damage often shows only when it thaws. Old copper thins over the years too, and pipes in lofts or under floors get the coldest. Those are the ones that usually go first.

How We Repair a Split Pipe

We isolate the supply, drain the section and find the exact split. Then we cut out the damaged length and fit new pipe with proper joints. We refill the system slowly and check every joint under pressure before we pack up.

Stopping It Happening Again

After the repair we look at why it burst. Pipes in cold lofts get lagged. Sections that are badly corroded get flagged so you can plan a replacement. Small changes now save you another flood next winter.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I do first if a pipe bursts in Tooting?

Turn off your stopcock immediately, then open all the cold taps to drain the system. Put buckets under the leak and switch off electrics in the affected area at the consumer unit if water is near them. Then call us and we will get someone out to you.

How long does a burst pipe repair take?

A straightforward burst on an accessible pipe is often repaired within an hour or two. If the pipe runs under a floor or behind plaster it takes longer, because we need to reach it first. We will tell you what is involved before we start cutting anything.

Will my ceiling need replacing after a burst pipe?

Not always. Plaster that has only been damp for a short time often dries out fine. Ceilings that have held water and started to sag usually need taking down. We will tell you honestly what we see and make the area safe once the pipe is fixed.
