Common Plumbing Problems in Grey Lynn
Blocked Drains
Villas and bungalows often still run on earthenware drains with mortar joints, and roots or a dropped joint are the usual reason they block. We clear the line with a cutting head, then run a camera so you can see whether the old pipe needs a repair or just regular attention. Blocked Drains across Auckland.
Hot Water Repairs
Old low pressure cylinders in villas often run with a header tank in the roof and valves that have not been touched in years. We replace worn valves and elements, and check the tank and vent pipe while we are up there. Hot Water Cylinder Repairs across Auckland.
Drain Cleaning
Earthenware drains in villas and bungalows have joints every metre or so, and each one is an entry point for roots and a place for grease to catch. Regular jetting keeps these old lines flowing and lets us keep an eye on their condition. Drain Cleaning across Auckland.
Emergency Plumber
In villas and bungalows, emergencies often start with old galvanised pipe giving way under the floor, where you hear water before you see it. We shut off the supply, get under the house and replace the failed section so the water can go back on. Emergency Plumber in Grey Lynn.
Working in Grey Lynn
Grey Lynn is hilly sedimentary ground; Grey Lynn Park itself was left out of the original subdivision because it was too steep and too wet to build on.
Grey Lynn Park was drained and levelled for playing fields in 1915 and now hosts the annual Grey Lynn Park Festival.
The 127 hectare Surrey Hills Estate was carved up for housing in 1883, the largest subdivision in the area at the time.
