24/7 Emergency Services

Even a small hole in water pipe can lead to major problems. Water damage, moldgrowth, increased bills, and structural issues can all result from a tiny leak left unchecked. Whether the pipe is underground, behind a wall, or part of your outdoor sprinkler system—leaks don’t fix themselves.

At Same Day Trades, we provide fast, reliable, and affordable plumbing services to fix holes in pipes across Adelaide, Perth, and Brisbane. Our licensed plumbers are ready to help—whether it’s an emergency leak or a scheduled inspection.


Why Do Water Pipes Develop Holes?

Several factors can lead to holes in your plumbing system. Understanding the cause is the first step in getting the right fix.

  • Corrosion: Older metal pipes often corrode from the inside, leading to leaks.
  • Excessive Water Pressure: High pressure can strain weak spots and cause cracking.
  • Accidental Damage: Many leaks occur during DIY projects—like drilling into a wall or digging in the yard.
  • Poor Installation: Bad joints, misaligned fittings, or unsupported pipes can fail over time.
  • Tree Roots: Underground roots can push into pipes, causing splits or holes.

Whatever the cause, our expert plumbers will assess the situation and recommend the safest, most effective repair.


Types of Pipe Damage We Repair

We handle every kind of pipe damage—whether it’s indoor plumbing, garden irrigation, or underground infrastructure.

1. Fixing Small Holes in Water Pipes

A small leak might seem minor, but it can quickly cause major water loss or property damage. We offer fast, permanent solutions using

  • Pipe clamps and sleeves
  • Professional-grade epoxy putty
  • Sectional replacement with new fittings

Temporary DIY fixes might buy you time—but they often fail under pressure. We ensure repairs are long-lasting and leak-free.

2. Repairing Holes in Pressurized PVC Pipes

Pressurized systems (like mains water lines) require special care. For these, we:

  • Turn off and depressurize the system..
  • Cut out the damaged section..
  • Apply primer and solvent cement..
  • Install a new pipe section with tight-seal couplings..

This is the best way to fix a hole in a PVC pipe that carries pressurized water.

3. Repairing Holes in Sprinkler Lines

Sprinkler systems are often damaged during yardwork or landscaping. If you’ve got

  • A leak in your sprinkler line
  • A puncture from digging or drilling
  • A crack from root pressure

—we can quickly patch or replace the affected section. Our team locates the leak with minimal digging and restores water flow without disturbing your garden.

4. Sealing Leaks in PVC Pipes

For non-pressurized PVC pipes, we can often use

  • PVC-compatible sealing compounds
  • Couplers and joiners for cut repairs
  • Flexible rubber sleeves with stainless clamps

This method ensures your pipe stays sealed, secure, and operational.


Drilled a Hole in a Water Pipe? Here’s What to Do

It happens more often than you’d think—drilling into a wall or floor, only to find a sudden spray of water. If you’ve accidentally drilled a hole in a water pipe:

  1. Turn off your main water supply immediately.
  2. Contain any leaking water to prevent damage.
  3. Call Same Day Trades. We handle accidental drilling damage quickly and efficiently.

Don’t worry—our team can repair the pipe and restore your wall or flooring with minimal disruption.

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!
