Burst pipe Berlin-Reinickendorf
In detached houses in Frohnau or Hermsdorf, the main stopcock is usually in the basement by the water meter. In the Märkisches Viertel, by contrast, only the property management can access it. There, close the valves in your flat first.
Burst pipe in Reinickendorf: what you should know
With a burst pipe, a lot of water can escape within a few minutes. The faster the pipe is shut off and a professional arrives, the smaller the damage.
The Märkisches Viertel is a large housing estate from the 1960s and 1970s with high-rises and shared risers. Frohnau, Hermsdorf and Heiligensee are mainly detached houses, often with large gardens and older main drains. Wittenau and Reinickendorf-Ost have many apartment buildings from different decades.
