Burst pipe Berlin-Pankow
In a detached house in Französisch Buchholz or Blankenfelde you are responsible for your own pipes. The main stopcock is usually in the basement or utility room right next to the water meter. If you don't know where it is, we will explain on the phone where to look.
Burst pipe in Pankow: what you should know
Frost, corrosion or an old joint: a burst pipe has many causes. The first thing is to stop the water. Then a plumber finds the leak and repairs it.
Prenzlauer Berg was almost completely renovated after reunification. The pipes there are now 20 to 30 years old, and seals and fittings from that time are slowly ageing. Karow and Buch have many new housing estates, while Niederschönhausen, Rosenthal and Blankenburg are mainly detached houses with their own water connection.
Typical cases
- Damp patches on wall, ceiling or floor
- Rushing or hissing in the wall
- Water in the basement for no obvious reason
- Water spraying or running from a pipe
