Persistent Leaking Taps and Toilets
Dripping taps and toilets are a common issue in many Orewa homes. These leaks may seem minor, but they can quietly increase water bills and cause mould or water stains over time.
Often, worn washers or faulty flush mechanisms are to blame. As part of our water leak detection service, we find the exact source and fix it with minimal disruption. This helps stop wasted water and prevents future plumbing problems.
Blocked Drains and Slow Drainage
Clogged drains are a common call-out, whether it’s a kitchen sink backing up or a shower that won’t drain properly. In Orewa, tree roots in older sewer lines can sometimes be the unexpected culprit.
Grease build-up, food scraps, or toiletries can also cause stubborn blockages. If you notice gurgling sounds, bad smells, or water pooling where it shouldn’t, our team can quickly clear blocked drains and get things flowing smoothly again.
Corroded Pipework and Fixture Fittings
With Orewa’s coastal setting, we see quite a few jobs where pipework, taps, or even outside spouting have corroded faster than you might expect. The salty air speeds up rust and mineral build-up, especially in older copper or galvanised systems.
Left unchecked, this corrosion can cause leaks or water discolouration. Our team sorts these issues by using materials and repair methods suited to coastal conditions, so you’re not dealing with the same hassle every few years.
Hot Water Cylinder and Water Pressure Troubles
In many Orewa homes, especially those that haven’t upgraded their plumbing in a while, hot water cylinders become unreliable. Sometimes it’s down to mineral scaling or ageing valves; in other cases, the cylinder or plumbing layout doesn’t suit today’s demand.
We assess the system, check for faults like failed thermostats or pressure relief valves, and recommend the most practical fix. Whether it’s replacement or a new hot water cylinder installation, we make sure your hot water comes through when you need it.
