    Emergency Burst Water Main Repairs

    When a water main fails, every minute counts. Burst Water Main Repairs from Pro Drainage deliver fast, expert help 24/7 to protect your property, restore supply, and keep disruption to a minimum. From rapid leak isolation to no-dig repairs and full pipe replacements, our engineers combine experience with advanced technology to resolve emergencies safely and efficiently, day or night.

    Why speed matters

    A burst main can flood driveways, undermine foundations and pavements, and cause serious internal damage if left unchecked. It may also lead to contamination, low pressure, and unexpectedly high water bills. Acting quickly limits structural risks and reduces the total cost of the incident. That’s why our emergency line is monitored around the clock, with teams ready to mobilise immediately.

    Our 24/7 emergency process

    • Assessment & safety first: On arrival, we secure the area, confirm isolation, and carry out a risk assessment.
    • Locate the burst: Using non-invasive acoustic listening, thermal imaging, tracer gas, and CCTV surveys, we pinpoint the fault quickly, even when the pipe is deep or under hard landscaping.
    • Isolate & contain: We install temporary valves or clamps to stop water loss and stabilise pressure.
    • Repair or replace: Depending on the pipe condition, we complete a like-for-like repair, install a lined section, or recommend a durable MDPE replacement.
    • Restore supply & tidy up: We flush, test, and recommission your system, then leave the site clean and safe.

    Trenchless, low-disruption solutions

    Wherever possible, we use no-dig methods to minimise mess and downtime:

    • Pipe lining (CIPP): Creates a robust inner layer that seals cracks and minor defects without full excavation.
    • Pipe bursting: Simultaneously breaks the damaged pipe and pulls in a new MDPE supply, ideal for severely degraded lines.
    • Targeted excavations: If we do need to dig, we keep trenches short and precise, protecting drives, lawns, and pathways.

    These approaches are faster, cleaner, and often more cost-effective than traditional open-cut methods.

    Domestic and commercial emergencies

    We support homeowners, landlords, property managers, and businesses with single properties or multi-site portfolios. For commercial premises, such as retail parks, hospitality venues, schools, care homes, and industrial units, we plan work to keep you operational, using out-of-hours scheduling, phased isolation, and clear stakeholder communication.

    Typical causes we address

    • Freeze–thaw weather cracking ageing pipework
    • High or fluctuating pressure stressing joints and fittings
    • Ground movement from traffic, construction, or soil shifts
    • Corrosion and material fatigue in older pipes
    • Accidental damage from landscaping or third-party works

    By identifying the root cause, we can advise on prevention, whether that’s insulation, pressure regulation, or proactive renewal.

    FAQs

    How fast can you attend?
    We offer immediate 24/7 callout. Arrival depends on distance and conditions, but we prioritise active bursts and high-risk situations.

    Will you need to dig up my drive?
    Not always. Our trenchless repair methods frequently avoid major excavation. If digging is required, we keep it as localised as possible.

    Who is responsible for the repair?
    Your water company typically handles mains in public highways. Pipes within your boundary (the supply/service pipe) are usually the homeowner’s or property owner’s responsibility. We can help confirm and advise.
