Common Plumbing Problems in Onehunga
Leak Detection
Villas and bungalows usually have pipes running under suspended timber floors, where a leak can drip for months without showing inside. We get under the house, trace the supply and check old galvanised sections that are prone to pinholes. Leak Detection across Auckland.
Burst Pipes
Galvanised steel pipe in villas and bungalows rusts from the inside, and after decades it can split without warning. We replace the failed section and check nearby pipe, as the rest is often close behind. Burst Pipes across Auckland.
Hot Water Cylinders
Villas and bungalows often have an old low pressure copper cylinder in a hallway cupboard, sometimes with a header tank in the roof. We can replace it like for like or upgrade to mains pressure, and we check the old pipework can handle the extra pressure first. Hot Water Cylinders across Auckland.
Gas Fitter
Villas and bungalows sometimes have old gas pipework left from long-removed heaters or ranges. We check and cap any redundant lines and run new pipe under the floor so the original features of the house stay intact. Gas Fitting across Auckland.
