Left unattended, burst or leaking pipes can cause a huge amount of damage to your property and your belongings. Even minor water leaks can be quite destructive if not repaired promptly.

Signs you may have a burst or leaking pipe:

• Sound of water dripping or running
• A wet patch in your yard/garden
• Hissing noises from behind walls
• Damp patches on plaster walls and ceilings, or on carpet
• Increased water usage
• Unusual odours or mould growth
• A loss of water pressure

Greensborough Plaza, Greensborough

Fun fact. In 1838, Henry Smythe, a Crown grantee, purchased 259 hectares for £544, from John Alison. The boundaries of this land included Gold Street in the North, Macorna Street in the West, Grimshaw Street in the South and Plenty River in the East. In 1841 he sold this land for £1600 to Edward Bernard Green and it was from Green that Greensborough derived its name.
