We are frequently called out on emergencies to repair a burst water pipe. Distressed homeowners and tenants call about water flooding out from under the vanity and completely soaking the floor. The majority of these situations arise from improper installation of braided water hoses under vanities and sinks without an isolation tap. It is essential that these braided hoses are only installed by licensed plumbers.
To avoid flooding of your bathroom or kitchen from a burst water pipe, check under your sink for these braided hoses and note any wear or tear. To be on the safe side, we recommend replacing the hose with copper piping that will outlast the life of the building.
If you have a burst water pipe or are concerned about the condition of your plumbing, contact Sam the Plumber on 0413 622 082, email info@samtheplumber.com.au, or submit an enquiry through our contact form to discuss the problem and request a quote from experienced Brisbane plumbers.
