Patrick & Son arrived on time as promised and tackled a difficult drainage job professionally and with good humour, however much work was required. I would happily recommend them to any of my clients.

Patrick & son replaced my old lead supply pipe for me - they were brilliant. Clear communication, showed up on time, worked efficiently, left everything neat + tidy, and sorted the certification with the water supplier. Very glad I chose them for the job.

Got their name off the South East Water site, I rang to ask about my external water leak which was in my neighbour's garden but my supply. Patrick was extremely helpful and requested pictures via WhatsApp, once sent he responded immediately, we arranged a time for him to come and have a look and he gave me his thoughts on the issue. We agreed a way forward with my neighbour, turned into a bigger job than originally thought, but it was resolved the same day and neighbour's garden was returned all the earth to near the original state. Turned up when they said they would. Excellent job, well worth the money. Stress free for me, could leave Patrick and his colleague to get on with the work as they clearly know what they are doing. Will call them again if I have any other issues. Thanks

Engineers Repairing Water Main

A leaking water main can quickly lead to wasted water, reduced flow and damage to the surrounding ground or property. Finding and repairing the problem early can help prevent a relatively minor leak from developing into a much more serious and costly issue.

If you suspect a leak at your home or commercial premises, MSSE can locate the source of the problem and carry out the necessary water main repairs to restore your supply.

Advantages of Water Main Repairs

Protect Your Property & Water Supply.

  • Prevent Further Damage: Prompt water main repairs can stop leaks from worsening, helping to reduce water loss and prevent damage to your property and surrounding ground.
  • Targeted Repairs: Specialist leak detection can pinpoint the damaged section of pipe, allowing repairs to be focused on the affected area while minimising unnecessary excavation.
  • Restore Your Water Supply: Professional repairs can resolve leaks, bursts and damaged pipework, helping to restore a reliable water supply to your home or commercial property.

Environmental Benefits of Water Main Repairs

  • Reduced Water Waste: Leaking or damaged water mains can allow significant amounts of treated water to escape into the surrounding ground. Prompt repairs help prevent unnecessary water loss, conserving valuable resources and reducing waste.
  • Less Excavation & Disruption: Accurately locating and repairing the damaged section of a water main can reduce the amount of excavation required. This helps minimise disturbance to gardens, landscaped areas and surrounding ground while also reducing the materials and waste associated with larger replacement works.

MSSE provides experienced water main repairs throughout Kent, using specialist leak detection equipment to pinpoint the source of the problem before work begins. By accurately locating the damaged section of pipe, we can target the repair and minimise unnecessary excavation and disruption.

FAQs

The most common water main repair questions… answered!

What causes water mains to burst?

Water mains can burst for several reasons, including ageing or deteriorating pipework, sudden changes in temperature, pressure fluctuations and movement in the surrounding ground. Over time, these stresses can weaken the pipe until it eventually cracks or ruptures.

How to stop a burst water main?

If you have a burst water main, turn off your water supply at the internal stop tap as quickly as possible to limit water loss and potential damage. Once the supply is isolated, contact a qualified water main repair specialist to locate the burst and carry out the necessary repairs.

Who's responsible for a leaking water main?

Responsibility generally depends on where the leak occurs. Your water company is usually responsible for the public water main and its network pipework, while property owners are normally responsible for private supply pipes and privately owned water mains within their property or site. For shared supply pipes, responsibility can be more complex depending on the location of the leak and how the properties are connected.

How long does it take to repair a broken water main?

Many straightforward water main repairs can be completed within a day, although the exact timeframe depends on the location and severity of the damage, accessibility and whether the pipe can be repaired or needs replacing. More complex underground repairs may take longer.
