Common Causes of Burst Pipes in Northcote

• Corrosion and pipe age — Older Northcote homes may have galvanised steel or copper pipes that have corroded over decades
• High water pressure — Excess pressure weakens pipe joints and fittings
• Tree root damage — Roots can crush or displace underground pipes
• Ground movement — Melbourne’s reactive clay soils cause pipes to shift and crack
• Flexi hose failure — Corrugated hoses under sinks and toilets have a 5–10 year lifespan and can burst without warning
