Task guide
When this may be needed
- A PVC pipe has cracked from a knock or from age.
- A solvent-welded joint has started to leak.
- A washing machine outlet pipe leaks in the service yard.
- A pipe under the sink cracked when the trap was tightened.
- A PVC pipe has become brittle in the sun.
What the team does
The technician identifies whether the pipe carries supply water or waste, and its size and type, so the right fittings are used. The water is shut off where needed and the section drained. The damaged length is cut out squarely, the ends are cleaned and primed, and a new section is solvent-welded or joined with couplers. The joint is left to set, then tested with running water.

FAQs
Taping or gluing a crack rarely lasts. Cutting out the cracked section and fitting a new piece is the reliable repair.
HDB says owners maintain the sanitary branch pipes in their flat; the town council maintains the main sanitary pipes.
Repairing water supply pipes is water service work, and replacing sanitary pipes is sanitary plumbing work; PUB requires both to be done by a licensed plumber.
