Persistent Leaks and Dripping Taps
A steady drip might not seem urgent, but it can add up to a surprising amount on your water bill. Leaks can also signal worn washers, damaged pipes, or ageing tap fittings—issues that tend to crop up more often in older homes around Warkworth.
Occasionally, minor leaks may be a sign of deeper issues behind walls or under floors that shouldn’t be ignored. Our plumbers can track down the source and sort repairs before it develops into a bigger, costlier headache.
Blocked Toilets and Slow Drains
Toilets and drains can get blocked for a few reasons—anything from tree roots in older drains to the wrong items being flushed. In both established and newly built properties, it’s common to find sinks or showers draining slowly or not at all.
Ignoring these signs can lead to wastewater backing up, bad smells, or even damage to pipes and fixtures. We have the right tools to clear out blockages quickly and check for any underlying causes, so you’re not dealing with the same issue week after week.
Water Pump Failures and Tank System Issues
Many properties in and around Warkworth rely on water tanks and pumps, especially those on lifestyle blocks or at the fringes of town. When pumps lose pressure, cycle erratically or stop working altogether, taps can run dry with little warning. Airlocks, worn seals or electrical faults are frequent culprits.
These water supply interruptions can make day-to-day living difficult, especially where the home is not on the town supply. Our team is experienced in diagnosing and repairing all types of domestic water pumps, so you can depend on steady pressure and a reliable water source year-round.
Hot Water Cylinder Breakdowns and Temperature Issues
Hot water troubles are a common reason locals call us, from temperature drops in older cylinders to total failures in newer units. Signs include slow-to-heat water, leaks forming at the base, or erratic water temperature at the tap.
Sometimes it’s a simple thermostat replacement, but other times, corrosion inside the cylinder or an ageing element is to blame. We’ll pinpoint the fault, discuss options for repair or replacement, and make sure your home’s hot water keeps up with your needs.
