Plumbing Repair

A household plumbing repair is one of the main services offered. For more urgent problems we also have an emergency plumber on standby 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

For a great household plumbing repair, accurate identification or 'diagnosing' must be performed to determine the best solution. The problem will reoccur if this is not reparied properly. It is then essential that the correct equipment and tools are used. A fully qualified tradesman or emergency plumber will be able to assess your problem and will have at his disposal a vehicle fully stocked with the equipment and tools that are needed. All household plumbing repair work, as well as all work carried out by our emergency plumbers, is guaranteed for 12 months. Materials used are subject to the manufacturers' warranty.

Anything from replacing a kitchen sink to adding a gas bayonet point to cleaning the gutters. The list doesn't end there - all household plumbing repairs can be carried out. Whether it is a toilet cistern that is leaking, a cracked basin, a toilet that won't flush, or even a complete sewer relay. Water leaks and dripping taps are easy to ignore, but over months will waste Wellington's precious water, stain your white porcelian basins, baths, toilets and possibly cause water damage. Don't put off your household plumbing repairs any longer.

A rapid plumbing repair is often required when a blocked drain or burst pipe occurs. Inconvenient though it is, hot water systems tend to split most often in the early hours of the morning when water pressure is at its highest. An emergency plumber is always on standby for those situations, no matter what time of day or night, 7 days per week, 24 hours per day.

Water Leaks And Burst Pipes

A water leak detection service is able to locate your water plumbing problem and find a solution, as well as fix a burst pipe or carry out a dripping tap repair. If not adequately addressed all three of these plumbing problems can waste Wellington's water supply - though perhaps at a slower rate, over time a water leak that is not detected or a dripping tap that is not repaired is likely to waste as much water as a burst pipe!

A major burst pipe - a relatively common plumbing problem - and a gushing flow of water in a fairly obvious location, water leak detection is not the difficult part, it is more a matter of ceasing the flow, and then to fix or replace the split pipe. One of our plumbers can attend to turn off your water supply and replace the section of burst pipe. If necessary, we can even organise pipe freezing services to cease the flow while the section of burst pipe is replaced. We also offer solutions for less obvious plumbing problems though, including locating a water leak or dripping tap repair.

A more complicated plumbing problem can arise when it comes to a water leak in less apparent situations. Especially in apartment buildings, the location of the gathering water may not actually give any clues to the origin of the water leak. And the source, when found, may not be easily accessible. For example, a burst pipe in the wall may seep through the wall (or even from an apartment many levels above), and then travel under the carpet and surface in the corridor. You therefore need specialised water leak detection services and an experienced plumber. All of our tradesmen have the necessary expertise to find that hidden burst pipe or whatever it is that is the plumbing problem - a water leak solution!

A constantly dripping tap can be frustrating when you're trying to sleep at night, and an effort to turn on and off, not to mention a waste of Wellington's precious water. For a dripping tap we can carry out a tap reconditioning service, which includes changing the washer, a reseat, and checking the thread.
