Home » Water Service Repairs & Replacement
Repairs, replacement and maintenance of water mains and water services on industrial and commercial sites, including leaks, failed valves and backflow prevention devices.
A burst or leaking water main on a large site wastes water, undermines slabs and roads and can leave production and amenities without supply. Older copper, galvanised steel and early plastic services are reaching the end of their life on many Melbourne industrial estates.
SWR Plumbing repairs, replaces and maintains water services for industrial and commercial properties. We find the leak, isolate it with as little disruption as possible and repair or replace the failed section.
Many older sites have only one or two isolation valves, which means any repair shuts down water to everything. When we repair a main we look at adding isolation valves so future work can be done section by section.
Where a full replacement is needed, we plan the work so temporary supply can be maintained where possible and the final changeover happens in a planned window.
For hidden leaks in homes and smaller buildings, see our leak detection service.
We repair and replace water services across Melbourne, including Campbellfield, Sunshine, Clayton and Brunswick. See our industrial plumbing page for related services.
We use a combination of isolation testing, meter readings, listening equipment and site knowledge to narrow down the location before excavating.
One leak can be repaired. Repeated leaks on an aged service usually mean replacement is more economical. We give you both options with prices.
Yes. We install and maintain backflow prevention devices where the site’s hazard rating requires them.
Not always. Where valves allow, we isolate only the affected section. We also add valves during repairs to make future work easier.
It depends on depth, surface type and access. We quote after locating the problem.
