Seeing Burst Pipe at your Waterford property? Here is what it means and what it costs to put right.
A burst pipe floods fast - typically in frozen conditions, or old pre-1980 galvanised/lead pipework giving way under pressure.

Turn off the water at the stopcock immediately, open a cold tap to drain pressure, switch off electrics near the leak, and call a licensed plumber right away.
Typical fix cost in Waterford: €150-€900. Do not attempt work on live systems - get a licensed specialist on it.

If there is risk of damage, safety hazard or no service at all, treat it as an emergency and act now. Otherwise schedule a standard visit.
Regular maintenance catches most of these early - see the maintenance checklist in the emergency guide.
