A Paddington homeowner noticed hot water pooling in the garden and heard a hissing sound near the house foundation. The old copper hot water line had corroded and burst below ground. We located the exact spot using pressure testing, dug minimally, and replaced the faulty section with modern plastic pipework.

The Problem

  • Water pooling in the garden (wasting water and money)
  • Potential damage to the property foundation
  • Loss of water pressure in the house
  • Higher water bills due to the leak

The homeowner initially worried that locating and repairing a buried pipe would require massive excavation.

What We Did

  • Used pressure testing to identify the exact location and size of the leak
  • Carefully excavated only the minimal area needed to access the damaged pipe
  • Cut out the faulty copper section
  • Installed new food-grade plastic pipework (superior to copper in corrosive soil conditions)
  • Pressure tested the entire system to confirm no other leaks
  • Restored the garden and removed all excavation debris
  • Timeline: 1 day. Excavation and repair completed same day. Garden restoration included.

The Result

The leak stopped immediately. Water pressure returned to normal throughout the home. The new plastic pipework is rated for 50+ years and is immune to the corrosion that affected the original copper line.

 

The homeowner saved money on wasted water and avoided expensive foundation damage.
