What's usually behind it in Preston
In Preston, we often find older pipes that have been patched before. We'll tell you if a section is worth replacing rather than repairing again.
A burst pipe can do thousands of dollars of damage in an hour. Shut the water off at the meter and call us. We isolate the line, repair or replace the damaged section and pressure-test the system before we leave. For Preston customers, that usually means same-day service.
Much of Preston was built between the wars and in the 1950s, so earthenware sewers and ageing copper lines are common.

Common causes are age and corrosion, high water pressure, and ground movement. We'll tell you what caused yours.
