What to Do in an Emergency: Burst Pipes & Major Plumbing Failures in Mandurah

Burst pipes and major plumbing failures can cause significant water damage in a short amount of time. Knowing what to do in those first few minutes can make all the difference while waiting for help from Aquasonic Plumbing & Gas.

Immediate Steps to Minimise Damage

• Turn off the main water supply: This should be your first action to stop the flow of water.

• Switch off electricity in affected areas: Water and electricity are a dangerous combination.

• Move valuables and furniture: Protect flooring and belongings from further damage.

• Contain the leak: Use towels, buckets, or any absorbent materials to limit flooding.

Temporary Fixes Before the Plumber Arrives

• Apply pipe tape or epoxy putty: These can slow down leaks temporarily.

• Use a pipe clamp: If available, clamps can secure damaged areas until replacement is possible.

• Tie rubber & hose clamps around the leak: A short-term solution to reduce water loss.

• Relieve pressure: Open taps in unaffected areas to drain excess water from the system.
