Types of Burst Pipes We Can Repair
Here at Cyber Plumbers, we know our plumbers are able to do repairs and replacements for all of the most common piping materials used in Australia, including all brands of plastics and varieties of metals.
All you need to do is contact us and we’ll send one of our burst pipe specialists to solve the problem. The most common types of piping we work with are:
Copper Pipes
Until about 15 years ago, copper was the most commonly used material for piping. These days, it’s regarded as very expensive compared to other options on the market. It also corrodes more than many people have been led to believe, especially when used for hot water.
Despite this, copper piping is still a very reliable material when used for cold water and gas, and is the preferred replacement material for our plumbers. If you have a leaking or burst copper pipe, you need to have it looked at as quickly as possible.
Contact Cyber Plumbers and one of our burst pipe experts will be with you in no time. We stock most sizes of copper piping in our vans, so we should be able to do all the work without having to go anywhere.
Plastic Pipes
Do you have a leaking plastic sewer pipe? And how’s your plastic water pipe? It’s quite common to see leaks and bursts with these kinds of rigid plastic pipes.
Breakages can easily result from any movement in the ground or inside the house, weakening from UV light or accidental knocks. Cyber has you covered for all leaking or burst plastic piping. Our plumbing technicians are able to repair or replace any section of plastic pipe that causes problems, and can even change your entire system if needed.
Polyethylene Pipes
Polyethylene pipe is usually found outside to carry water either away from or to a house or apartment block. Although it is very flexible, highly versatile and resistant to weather and UV rays, it can still leak or burst.
Problems such as ground movements pulling fittings apart, incorrect installation, and people accidentally damaging it while gardening or excavating can lead to leaking or burst polyethylene pipe. This needs to be replaced by a fully qualified Cyber Plumbers professional.
Hepworth Pipes
If you’ve ever been doing some work at home and you’ve hit a Hepworth pipeline, you’ll need expert help. Cyber Plumbers is the right place to call.
Our permanent van stock contains a large selection of Hepworth pipes and fittings, so we will have everything needed on site for any repair job. A Cyber professional will have your leaking or burst Hepworth pipe fixed quickly, efficiently and effectively.
Brass Fittings
Brass is a metal alloy made from copper and zinc, with the combination typically being 85% copper and 15% zinc in Australia. Due to its malleability, strength and resistance to corrosion, brass is commonly used for pipe fittings.
However, brass fittings can still leak, which is something that needs to be taken care of by a fully qualified plumbing contractor. That’s where you need Cyber Plumbers. Regardless of what’s causing your brass fittings to leak, our professional will be able to repair or replace them.
Rehau Pipes
Rehau is a European brand of flexible plastic pipes that are typically used for both hot and cold water applications. Rehau pipes are freeze resistant, heat resistant, durable, hugely versatile and easy to install – a very good option when you’re having your water system replaced with new material.
If this is a job you need done, or you already have Rehau pipes that are leaking, you need an expert plumber from Cyber. Our plumbing professionals are able to quickly and easily repair any damage to your existing Rehau pipeline, and can also replace it if necessary.
Auspex Pipes
Auspex is completely Australian owned and manufactured, a brand of flexible plastic water pipe which works particularly well for replacements. This is due to it being lightweight and durable, easy to install and resistant to heat, cold and corrosion.
If you need repairs or replacements to your Auspex pipeline, then Cyber Plumbers is the right call to make. All of our burst pipe experts have the skills, knowledge and experience to carry out any work needed on Auspex pipes, including a full system replacement.
Sharkbite Pipes
If you have leaking pipes, maybe it’s time for Cyber to repair or replace them with a Sharkbite fitting or pipe. These are high quality, durable metal fittings and flexible plastic piping that can connect to almost any other material.
If you have a Sharkbite pipe system that is leaking, Cyber has the expertise to fix it for you. Our professional plumbers have the training, experience and tools to repair or replace any Sharkbite pipeline to get the water flowing properly. Just make sure you tell us you have a Sharkbite pipe, and our technician will bring everything that’s needed.
Pro-Fit Pipes
These pipes are produced by Iplex, the largest Australian owned and operated pipe manufacturer. Pro-Fit piping is a flexible plastic pipe system used for both hot and cold water lines.
It’s versatile, lightweight, durable and resistant to corrosion, making it very useful for complete system replacements. If you’re thinking about having your piping system replaced with Pro-Fit pipes, contact Cyber Plumbers right away. You may already have Pro-Fit pipes that started to leak, in which case we can repair them for you.
