If your bathroom or kitchen sink drains slower than usual, the problem might be more than just a few tufts of hair and food particles.
Broken Pipe
A broken water pipe is one of those problems that often starts small—until it doesn’t. You might spot a wet patch on the wall, notice your water pressure isn’t what it used to be, or hear a hissing sound behind the plaster. By the time the signs are clear, you could be facing serious damage.
At Same Day Trades, we understand that plumbing problems don’t follow business hours. That’s why we offer responsive, professional broken pipe repair services. Whether it’s a cracked water line under your house or a sewer pipe that’s given way outside, we’re ready to help.
We’ve worked in homes, shops, offices, and rental properties. No job is too small or too complicated—and if it’s urgent, we’ll prioritise it.
What You Might Notice When a Pipe Breaks
Pipes are out of sight, which means problems can go unnoticed until they become disruptive. Here’s what people often experience when there’s a broken pipe somewhere:
- Lower-than-usual water pressure in taps and showers
- Discoloured patches on ceilings, floors, or walls
- A musty smell, especially in areas where water shouldn’t be
- Odd noises in the plumbing system—banging, hissing, or bubbling
- A jump in your water bill without a clear reason
Slow-draining sinks or gurgling toilets
You might even spot water pooling outside. That’s usually a sign of a broken water pipe outside the house or damage to an underground sewer line. Indoors, issues tend to show up as dampness or unusual smells.
What Breaks a Pipe in the First Place?
Pipes don’t just split for no reason. There’s always a trigger, though sometimes it takes a trained eye to pinpoint the exact cause. Over the years, we’ve seen some common themes.
- Age is one of them. Older pipes wear down over time, especially if they’re made of outdated materials.
- High water pressure can also wear out fittings faster than expected.
- Tree roots are surprisingly powerful and often push into underground pipes, cracking them open slowly.
- Shifting soil or building movement can stress the joints in your plumbing.
And then there’s the simple truth that mistakes happen—poor installation or a previous patch-up job can set the stage for a future problem.
Whether it’s a broken water line repair or an issue with drain pipes, we’ll figure it out and fix it the right way.
How We Handle Broken Pipe Repairs
Our approach is simple: find the fault, fix it properly, and make sure it doesn’t happen again anytime soon.
Step 1
When we get to the site, we start by assessing the symptoms. Is it a broken pipe under the house level? Something out in the yard? Could it be a blocked drain rather than a burst pipe?
Step 2
Once we have a clear idea, we trace the source of the issue. This might involve moisture checks, camera inspections, or other tools—whatever lets us confirm the exact location without causing unnecessary mess.
Step 3
From there, it’s about choosing the best solution. Sometimes a pipe can be sealed or reinforced. Other times, it needs a section replaced. We’ll always explain your options before starting work.
Step 4
We know how to repair a broken drainpipe, a leaking water line, or a cracked sewer pipe—and we’ll make sure the job’s done safely and neatly.
Indoor and Outdoor Pipe Problems
The location of the damage plays a big role in how we go about fixing it.
- Indoor Pipes : These are often hidden in walls, ceilings, or under floors. When they break, the signs can be subtle at first. You may notice a musty smell, peeling paint, or a faint hissing noise. If left too long, damage to timber or insulation can follow.
- Broken Water Pipe Under House : This one’s tricky because it’s often out of sight and hard to access. A leak under the floor can cause major long-term problems like shifting foundations or mould growth. It’s worth addressing this as soon as possible.
- Broken Water Pipe Outside House : You might spot a wet area that doesn’t dry out, or the grass might suddenly become more vibrant in one patch. This usually means water is leaking below the surface. Underground leaks can also erode soil and create uneven ground over time.
- Broken Sewer Pipe Repair : If your drains are slow or there’s a sewage smell coming from the garden, you could be dealing with a sewer line break. This isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s a health hazard. We take these jobs seriously and handle them with care.
