A burst pipe in the wall is more than just an inconvenience—it can cause serious water damage, disrupt your daily routine, and cost you a fortune if left unchecked. Whether it’s a cracked pipe behind the wall, a frozen pipe, or a water pipe burst under the house, Same Day Trades is ready to help.

We provide fast, same-day plumbing services across Adelaide, Brisbane, and Perth. Our licensed plumbers are trained to detect, repair, and restore plumbing issues caused by burst or broken pipes hidden behind walls or under floors.


What Causes a Pipe to Burst Inside a Wall?

A burst or broken pipe in the wall doesn’t happen without a cause. Common reasons include

  • High water pressure placing stress on aging or weak pipes
  • Corrosion in older metal piping
  • Hard water deposits narrowing the pipe and increasing internal pressure
  • Freezing temperatures, especially overnight, causing pipes to expand and crack
  • Poor installation or low-quality materials
  • Ground movement or structural shifts, damaging pipes under or near the home

Whether it’s a busted pipe in the wall or a burst water pipe behind the wall, identifying the cause is essential to fixing it properly.


Warning Signs of a Burst Water Pipe in the Wall

Most pipes are concealed behind walls or under the floor, so damage isn’t always visible right away. However, the signs below may indicate a serious problem:

  • Wet or damp patches appearing on walls, ceilings, or floors
  • Peeling paint or bubbling plaster
  • Visible mold or a persistent musty smell
  • Sudden drop in water pressure
  • Unexplained increase in your water bill
  • Water sounds inside the wall when taps are off.

These are indicators of a possible burst water pipe inside the wall or beneath the house. Acting quickly helps limit the damage and reduce repair costs.


The Risks of Ignoring a Burst Pipe Behind a Wall

A pipe burst inside the wall may start small, but it can cause major damage over time. Delaying repairs can lead to:

  • Structural weakening of walls, ceilings, and floors
  • Water damage to insulation, wood framing, and electrical wiring
  • Toxic mold growth in hidden areas
  • Long-term rot in timber and supporting structures
  • Higher utility bills due to wasted water
  • Costly restoration work later on

If you suspect a broken water pipe in the wall, it’s important to take action immediately. Early detection and professional repair save you time, money, and long-term damage.


How We Handle a Broken Pipe in the Wall

At Same Day Trades, we follow a proven process to identify and fix burst pipes with as little disruption to your home as possible.

1. Leak Detection

Using advanced leak detection equipment, we locate the source of the burst—whether it’s behind the wall, under the house, or within the floor structure.

2. Immediate Isolation

We shut off your water supply to prevent further leakage and damage. If needed, we also assist in protecting nearby furniture, flooring, or valuables.

3. Pipe Repair or Replacement

We access the affected pipe through careful, minimal cuts in the wall or floor. Whether the pipe is metal, PVC, or copper, we repair or replace it using approved materials and techniques.

4. Testing and Clean-Up

Once repairs are complete, we test your system thoroughly and ensure everything is functioning as it should. We clean up the work area and, if needed, can recommend a reliable builder or painter for post-repair restoration.

Mary

Living alone meant when my toilet and drain was not working I was completely stressed and had no idea what to do. From the initial phone call, to the first visit and quote for the job I was reassured and helped by each person...

Derek

Luke at Same Day Trades did a great job and was very professional and courteous as are all other tradespeople that I have dealt with from your company on the times that I have used your services.

Vijen

We had a kitchen drain that was blocking up from grease. The plumber cleaned it out with Hydro jet drain cleaning machine. Drain is now back to original condition. Very happy with the works done.

Nikki B.

Preformed a great service and was very clear on pricing and what needed to be done before starting. Also went above and beyond to make sure there was no other problems elsewhere that needed attending too. Highly recommend!
