Reduce damage from a burst pipe

Close the main water supply if the valve is safe to reach. Open a cold tap briefly to relieve pressure after the supply is off. Keep away from wet electrical points and do not touch the distribution board if the area around it is wet.

Photograph visible damage for your records, but do not delay an emergency call-out to document everything.

What to expect

A clear three-step approach

Control the water

If safe, isolate the main supply and move belongings away from the leak while you contact us.

Assess the damaged section

We inspect the pipe, surrounding fittings and likely cause before deciding on the repair.

Repair and check

The failed section is repaired or replaced, then the system is checked for normal operation and further visible leaks.

Frequently asked questions

Who do I call for a burst pipe in Cape Town?

Call Bulldog Plumbing on +27 72 455 8877 or send a WhatsApp message. The service is available 24/7 for urgent plumbing faults.

Can I temporarily tape a burst pipe?

Tape is not a reliable repair for a pressurised water pipe. Isolating the water is safer until the damaged section can be assessed and repaired properly.

What causes pipes to burst?

Causes vary and can include corrosion, damaged fittings, excessive pressure, movement, impact or deterioration. The failed section should be inspected rather than assuming a cause.
