Burst pipe Berlin-Steglitz-Zehlendorf
In houses with a garden, the supply pipe often runs some way under the property. If the water meter keeps running even though all taps are closed, a leak in the pipe underground may be the cause. The plumber can narrow it down with leak detection.
Burst pipe in Steglitz-Zehlendorf: what you should know
Water on the ceiling, a wet patch on the wall or a puddle under the sink: behind signs like these there is often a leaking or burst pipe.
Many houses here stand on large plots with old trees. That is lovely, but tree roots like to grow into the main drains and block them. Older villas and detached houses also often have pipes from several decades, some with later extensions.
Typical cases
- Water spraying or running from a pipe
- Water meter running although all taps are closed
- Suddenly much lower water pressure
- Damp patches on wall, ceiling or floor
