Common Causes of Burst Pipes

Freezing Temperatures

Auckland rarely freezes, but exposed pipes in South Auckland and rural areas can freeze and burst during rare cold snaps.

Pipe Age & Corrosion

Older copper and galvanised pipes corrode over time. Many Auckland properties built pre-1990s have ageing pipe infrastructure.

High Water Pressure

Excessive water pressure stresses pipe joints and fittings. A pressure regulator can prevent burst pipes.

Physical Damage

Renovation work, nailing into walls or ground movement can damage pipes, causing immediate or delayed bursts.

Appliance Hose Failure

Washing machine and dishwasher hoses are a common burst source. Braided hoses are more reliable than rubber.

What to Do When a Pipe Bursts

  • Turn off the main water valve immediately β€” this stops the flow
  • Turn off electricity at the mains if water has reached power points
  • Open taps to drain remaining water from the system
  • Move valuables and furniture away from the water path
  • Place towels or buckets to contain water if possible
  • Take photos of the damage for your insurance claim
  • Call 0800 452 199 for emergency water extraction and drying

Burst Pipe Restoration Process

  • Emergency water extraction β€” remove standing water within hours
  • Pipe repair β€” coordinate with a plumber or your insurer's preferred plumber
  • Structural drying β€” dehumidifiers and air movers dry walls, floors and cavities
  • Moisture mapping β€” daily readings to track drying progress
  • Mould prevention β€” antimicrobial treatment on wet areas
  • Reinstatement β€” replace damaged gib, flooring, insulation and fittings
