Persistent Blocked Drains and Slow Drainage
It’s common for households in North Shore to experience blocked kitchen sinks or slow-draining bathrooms. Older pipes and tree roots are frequent causes, especially in established neighbourhoods.
Food scraps, oil, sanitary products, and wipes are usual suspects that build up and create stubborn blockages. Sometimes these issues are hidden deep in the pipe run, making them tough to clear with a plunger or store-bought cleaner. Our team uses CCTV inspection cameras to pinpoint the blockage before selecting the right clearing method.
Burst Pipes and Undetected Leaks
Burst pipes and hidden leaks often result from ageing pipework, sudden pressure changes, or ground movement that cracks the system. These problems can stay unnoticed until damp spots or rising water bills appear, and small leaks can cause serious damage if ignored.
Our plumbers use leak detection tools to pinpoint the problem quickly and repair or replace damaged sections with minimal disruption. We also check water pressure and nearby fittings to stop future leaks and keep your plumbing system secure.
Hot Water Cylinder Repairs and Replacements
Hot water problems are a frequent reason people call us across the Shore. Many older homes still use original hot water cylinders or outdated mains-pressure units, which can become unreliable over time.
Signs like rusty water, fluctuating temperature, or noticeable leaks around the base are common. Sometimes, the issue is limited to a faulty valve or thermostat, but other times a complete replacement is needed if the system is past its best.
Our team inspects the entire setup, explains your repair or replacement options, and ensures you’re left with steady, compliant hot water.
Fixture Upgrades and Tap Repairs
Worn out taps, leaking mixers, and dated bathroom or kitchen fixtures are another common headache for homeowners and landlords in the area. Over years of use, seals wear out and connections loosen, often resulting in annoying drips, water staining, or patches of corrosion.
Some properties in North Shore also need fixture upgrades to meet current plumbing standards or improve water efficiency. We handle everything from quick washer swaps to full fitting replacements, and we’re familiar with the compliance side as well.
