Burst pipe repair in Coventry, from split copper pipes in the loft to leaking joints under floors. We stop the water, replace the damaged section and check the rest of the run.
Most burst pipes come from water freezing and expanding in cold lofts, garages or outside walls. Others fail through corrosion on old copper, a nail or screw through the pipe, or a joint that has worked loose over time. Knowing the cause helps stop it happening again.
Not every burst is obvious. Damp patches on ceilings or walls, a musty smell, lifting floorboards, low water pressure or a water meter that keeps turning with every tap off can all point to a leak you can't see. Call us before the damage spreads.
We drain the section, cut out the damaged length and join in new pipe with soldered or compression fittings, or push-fit on plastic pipe. Then we turn the water back on, check every joint for drips and look along the run for other weak spots.
First, we make sure the water is off and find exactly where the pipe has failed. That can mean lifting a floorboard or opening a boxed-in section. We'll tell you before we disturb anything, so there are no surprises about what needs to come up.
Once the new section is in, we refill the system, bleed out any air and test the repair under pressure. If the pipe burst because it froze, we'll show you where it runs and talk about lagging it so it's better protected next winter.
Tell us about the leak, fault or project. We aim to respond the same day, and there's no call-out charge.
We look at the job in person and give you a free, no-obligation quote before any work starts.
We finish the job, test everything we have fitted and certify the work before we hand it back to you.
It depends on where the pipe is, what it's made of and how easy it is to reach. A split pipe under a sink is a quick fix, while one under floorboards or behind a wall takes longer. We look at it first and give you a free quote before we start.
Lag any pipes in the loft, garage and outside walls, and keep the heating on low when it's very cold, even if you're away. Fix dripping outside taps and fit an insulated cover in winter. Knowing where your stopcock is also saves time if a pipe does burst.
Yes. We lift the floorboards or open the floor near the leak, repair the pipe and refit the boards once the joint has been tested. On solid floors it can be quicker to reroute the pipe along the wall, and we'll explain the options before we start.
Usually not. The water needs to be off while we cut out the damaged section and fit the new one, but most straightforward repairs only take a short time once the leak is found. We'll tell you how long to expect before we turn the supply off.
