What's usually behind it in Thornbury
Thornbury terraces often have their water service running along a shared side path. We locate it carefully to avoid disturbing neighbours' lines.
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 Thornbury customers, that usually means same-day service.
Many Thornbury homes are workers' cottages and Victorian or Edwardian houses, often still on original clay sewers and galvanised water pipes.
