💦 Burst Pipe Repair & Water Line Upgrade 💦
Called out to a burst water pipe caused by old polybutylene pipework, a product unfortunately well known for failures as it ages.
To provide a long-term solution, we rerouted the cold water supply from the hot water system through the ceiling cavity and replaced the affected section with quality AUSPEX pipe and fittings.
✅ Burst pipe repaired
✅ Polybutylene pipe removed from the affected area
✅ New AUSPEX water line installed
✅ Reliable long-term solution
The photos show the new pipework route, including the external connection and ceiling installation before reinstatement.
If you’ve got polybutylene pipework in your home, it may be worth having it inspected before it becomes an emergency.
