The Sudden Shock: What Happens When a Water Main Bursts?

Imagine this: you step outside your home in Gateshead or perhaps just down the road in South Shields or Washington, and there's water absolutely everywhere. We're not talking about a little puddle; we mean a serious flow, potentially bubbling up through your driveway, pavement, or garden. This is often the first, and very alarming, sign of a burst water main. These crucial underground pipes deliver fresh water to your property, and when one gives way, it's a major plumbing emergency that needs immediate attention.

Why Choose Uberfix?

More Than Just a Leak Why a Burst Main is an Emergency

A burst water main isn't just a big leak; it’s a significant problem that can cause rapid and extensive damage. Left unchecked, the sheer volume of water can undermine foundations, flood basements, ruin landscaping, and cause disruption to the water supply for you and potentially your neighbours across Tyne and Wear or further afield towards Durham or Sunderland. It's a pressing issue that requires expert help fast to prevent long-term structural problems and costly repairs down the line.

Who We Are

Spotting the Signs How to Tell if it's Your Water Main

How do you know if that gushing water is coming from a burst water main rather than something less serious? Look out for unusual and significant amounts of water pooling or flowing where it shouldn't be, especially near your property boundary or where the main water pipe enters your home. You might also notice a sudden drop in water pressure inside, discoloured water, or a constant hissing or rushing sound underground. If you suspect a burst main anywhere in the NE postcode area or within our 35-mile radius, it's always best to act quickly.

Common Causes Why Mains Fail

Water mains can fail for several reasons. Age is a big factor – older pipes, especially metal ones, can corrode and weaken over time. External pressure from traffic or ground movement can also cause stress. Here in the North East, freezing temperatures are a common culprit; water expands as it freezes, putting immense pressure on pipes and potentially causing them to burst when temperatures rise again. Knowing the potential causes helps us diagnose the problem swiftly.
