Blocked and Slow Draining Pipes
Blockages are a common headache for Kumeu homeowners, especially in kitchens and bathrooms. Old drain pipes can get clogged over time with grease, food scraps, soap buildup, or even tree roots inching in from outside.
Slow draining sinks and gurgling sounds often signal it’s time for a proper clear-out. We use purpose-built tools and know-how to find blockages, clear them, and keep your pipes moving freely.
Ignoring a slow drain often leads to bigger issues, so it pays to get on top of it early.
Leaking Taps, Toilets, and Pipes
Leaks waste water and can quietly damage floors, cabinetry, and even structural parts of your property if left unnoticed. We frequently deal with dripping taps, running toilets, and pipes that have seen better days in Kumeu homes.
Sometimes it’s a worn washer or a cracked seal, and other times it’s corrosion in older pipework. Each drip adds up on your water bill and can eventually cause mould or rot. Our team quickly locates the source of the problem, replaces faulty parts, and ensures the repair is done properly to stop leaks from returning.
Rainwater Tank and Pump Troubles
Many Kumeu homes rely on rainwater tanks and pumps for daily supply. These systems do a solid job most of the time but can cause headaches when pumps lose prime, filters clog, or tanks get low due to debris.
Low flow or spluttering taps often point to an issue in the tank-to-tap chain. We regularly service pumps, clear blockages in lines, and replace worn-out filters to keep tank water clean and flowing.
Staying on top of rainwater system maintenance helps avoid unpleasant surprises and keeps your household running smoothly.
Hot Water Cylinder Failures and Inconsistent Heating
Hot water problems are frequent in both older and new builds. Kumeu’s mix of electric and gas systems means faults show up as anything from lukewarm showers to water that runs hot and cold.
Element burnout, leaking valves, or outdated cylinders can all play a role. Our team handles diagnosis, repairs, and new installations for cylinders of all sizes.
If you notice a drop in hot water performance or see leaks around your cylinder, it’s best to have it checked before it leads to bigger issues or sudden breakdowns.
