A BURST PIPE DOESN'T WAIT — NEITHER SHOULD YOU

A 6mm split in a mains pipe puts 30 litres of water on your floor every minute. In ten minutes that’s enough to soak through a ceiling. In an hour it can collapse plasterboard, ruin floor joists and short out the electrics downstairs.

Most Perth burst pipes happen in winter (frozen water expanding inside copper), but corroded fittings, rodent damage and old soldered joints fail year-round. Whatever caused yours, every minute it leaks costs money — so we get there fast and stop it first, then deal with the cause properly.

HOW TO TELL IT'S ACTUALLY A BURST PIPE

Signs to look for before you call

PRESSURE DROP

Sudden drop in water pressure across the whole house — taps slow, shower weak, toilet refilling slowly.

METER SPINNING

Water meter still ticking over when every tap and appliance is off — water is escaping somewhere.

DAMP GROWING

Damp patch on a ceiling or wall growing in real time, or peeling paint with active moisture behind it.

RUNNING SOUND

Sound of running water when everything is turned off — water is moving where it shouldn't be.

BROWN WATER

Brown or discoloured water from the taps — mains contamination from a break in the supply pipe.

COLD RADIATOR

Cold radiator that used to work fine — central heating pipe failure inside the system.

ECOGAS'S BURST PIPE REPAIR SERVICE

FIRST: CONTAIN THE DAMAGE

The first ten minutes on site are about containment — isolating the affected section of pipework, draining the system if needed, stopping the damage spreading.

THEN: PROPER REPAIR

Only after containment do we move to diagnosis: tracing the burst back to its exact location, identifying why it failed, and selecting the right repair method.

WHAT PERTH SAYS AFTER A BURST PIPE FIX

Mark P. — Perth

Pipe burst behind the kitchen wall on a Saturday night. Water everywhere. EcoGas was here in 35 minutes, had the mains off, found the actual split (about a metre away from where we thought it was) and had the pipe properly replaced and tested by midnight.

Olivia G. — Perth

Frozen pipe burst in the loft. EcoGas located the split, replaced the failed section with new copper, and lagged the entire run while they were there to stop it happening again next winter. That kind of forward thinking is rare.

Ben S. — Perth

Mains burst under the front drive. The first quote we had wanted to dig up the entire driveway. EcoGas used pipe-bursting equipment to replace the buried section with minimal digging. Half the disruption, half the cost.

Lucy N. — Perth

Couldn't find our stopcock when the bathroom pipe split. EcoGas talked us through it on the phone while dispatching an engineer. By the time he arrived, we'd stopped the worst of it. Professional from the first call.

BURST PIPE FAQS

WHAT DO I DO RIGHT NOW IF A PIPE HAS BURST?
Stop the water first. Find the main stopcock (usually under the kitchen sink or in a downstairs cupboard) and turn it clockwise until it stops. Open all cold taps to drain the pipes. Switch off the electricity at the consumer unit if water is near any electrical fittings. Then call us — we’ll be on the road while you’re still talking to us.
Most Perth burst pipe calls see an engineer arrive in 60–90 minutes. We dispatch immediately on the call — no waiting for a manager to approve the job, no call-centre delay. The phone is answered by a real plumber who’s already getting your details to the nearest engineer.
Often, no. We use acoustic detection and thermal imaging to locate the burst precisely, so any access work is targeted to a small area rather than ripping out a full wall or floor. For buried mains pipes we can often use minimal-dig pipe-bursting techniques.
Most home insurance policies cover burst pipe repair and the resulting water damage. We provide a full written invoice with parts itemised and photographs of the failure to support any claim you make. Many of our Perth customers successfully claim the full repair cost back from their insurer.
Yes — when we replace a failed section of pipe with new copper or compression fittings, that pipework should last decades. The 12-month guarantee covers the workmanship; the pipe itself will outlast it many times over. We also flag any nearby pipework showing similar wear so you can plan ahead.
Sometimes — if we get to a frozen pipe before it splits, we can carefully thaw it and prevent damage. Once a frozen pipe has split, however, the failed section must be replaced because the metal has been physically stretched and weakened. We’ll also fit insulation while we’re there.
