Your Local Experts for Quick and Reliable Burst Pipe Repairs

Empower Plumbing is your local go-to plumber for burst pipe repairs, both indoors and outdoors. 

 

Water is a vital resource, and wasting it is never good. If you suspect a burst pipe or hidden water leak, it’s crucial to have a licensed plumber investigate promptly. Early detection helps prevent structural damage, mould growth, and unnecessary water costs. 

 

With the latest technology and expertise, we can quickly locate and repair burst pipes or hidden water leaks, keeping your home or business safe and dry. 

Leak Detection

At Empower Plumbing, we specialise in locating and repairing burst pipes and hidden water leaks, whether they’re in your yard, under concrete, or inside your home. 

 

Leaks can be obvious or hidden, and common signs include: 


  • Wet spots or water stains on walls, ceilings, or floors 
  • Water bubbling or flowing from the ground 
  • Unusually green patches of grass 
  • Unexpectedly high water bills or notices of excess usage from the council 
  • Water meters ticking over when no water is being used 


Leaks under concrete can undermine the structural integrity of your home or business, while indoor burst pipes can cause significant structural and cosmetic damage. Left unchecked, moisture can also promote dangerous mould growth, a particular concern in the tropical climate of the Tablelands. 

 

With expertise, advanced leak detection technology, and local knowledge, Empower Plumbing can quickly identify the source of the problem and provide effective, long-lasting repairs, keeping your property safe, dry, and worry-free

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently asked questions from our customers to get you quick answers.

  • The council have sent me an excess water bill, does that mean I have a leak?

    Absolutely! Whether it’s to free up space, improve access, or protect your system from the elements, our team can safely relocate electric, solar, or gas hot water systems with minimal fuss.

  • How do I know if my water lines need to be re-run?

    Re-running may be needed if you’ve experienced repeated leaks, burst pipes, or hidden water damage, especially in older homes or areas with pipes embedded in concrete or blockwork. Other signs include uneven water pressure, damp spots, or frequent repairs in the same section of your plumbing. Our licensed plumbers can inspect your system and advise on the best solution.

  • The council has sent me an excess water bill. Does that mean I have a leak?

    If your water usage hasn’t changed but you’ve received a notice from the council, it’s likely there’s a leak. Some leaks are obvious, while others can be hidden and tricky to spot. Empower Plumbing has the expertise and equipment to quickly locate and repair any leak, helping you save water and avoid unnecessary costs.
