How Common Is Flooding From Burst Pipes in Adelaide?

You might be surprised to learn just how often burst pipes occur across Adelaide’s suburbs. While we don’t experience the harsh winters of other parts of Australia, sudden temperature drops, aging plumbing systems, high water pressure, and poor DIY repairs can all lead to pipe failures.

Many Adelaide homes — particularly older properties in suburbs like Prospect, Goodwood, and Elizabeth — have original plumbing that may be decades old. Over time, corrosion, wear, and movement in the foundation can cause cracks or full bursts.

We also see commercial burst pipe issues in offices, shops, and restaurants, often from undetected leaks, damaged flexi hoses, or accidental damage during renovations.

Why Fast Action Matters

When a pipe bursts, every minute counts. Water can seep into flooring, wall cavities, insulation, and electrical systems — leading to:

• Warped timber floors

• Swollen cabinetry

• Damage to plasterboard and insulation

• Electrical hazards

• Contaminated carpets

• Dangerous mould growth

That’s why Flood Fixers offers 24/7 emergency water damage response Adelaide Wide, with teams available within 60 minutes to any Adelaide suburb.

Mould Can Set In Quickly — But We Can Stop It

One of the biggest risks following water damage is mould growth. Mould can begin developing in as little as 24–48 hours in damp conditions. It not only damages building materials but also poses serious health risks, especially to those with allergies or asthma.

Flood Fixers Adelaide offers comprehensive mould remediation services, including:

• Containment and isolation of affected areas

• HEPA air filtration

• Removal of contaminated materials

• Antimicrobial treatment

• Air quality testing (upon request)

We don’t cut corners — we ensure your space is safe, dry, and fully restored.
