Leaking taps, running toilets, water filter installs, spouting cleaning, hidden leaks, and the water bill that came out of nowhere - the everyday plumbing work that doesn't fit a single category. Residential and commercial across Auckland. Same plumber, same standard, whether the job is a 30-minute washer swap or a half-day diagnostic.
Pay in 4, interest-freeThe bread-and-butter plumbing work that keeps a house running. Yours probably fits one of these.
A leaking tap wastes thousands of litres a year. A running toilet can double a water bill before anyone notices. We replace washers, cartridges, mixer cartridges, ballcocks, flush mechanisms, and the full tapware set when it's past saving. Quick jobs done in one visit.
Damp patch on the gib, mould around a tile that won't go away, soft floor under a vinyl - usually a slow leak inside a wall or under the floor that's been running for months. We trace the source with leak detection equipment, expose the smallest section of pipe needed, and repair without taking out the whole wall.
Auckland's autumn loads spouting and downpipes with leaves, moss, and seed pods. Untreated, water overflows and runs back against the eaves, which damages fascia and the roofline. We clear spouting, check brackets and outlet drops, and jet stormwater downpipes when they're plugged.
Under-bench filters, whole-house filtration systems, water softeners, and replacement cartridges. Louis specialises in filtration - we'll spec the right system for your supply (mains pressure, contaminant profile, household demand) and install it cleanly under the bench or alongside the cylinder.
A water bill that doubles overnight without anyone changing how the household uses water means water is leaving the property somewhere it shouldn't be. Most of the time it's not visible. Here's how we find it.
Turn off every tap and appliance in the house and watch the water meter for movement over 30 minutes. If the meter moves, water is leaving the property somewhere on your side of the toby. If it doesn't move, the issue is intermittent - a running toilet, a slow garden tap, a hot water relief valve - and we work through fixtures one at a time.
We close off zones one at a time - mains in, branch to the bathroom, kitchen line, garden tap line - and re-watch the meter. The zone where the meter stops moving is the zone with the leak.
Acoustic leak detection picks up the sound of water escaping through pipework, even under concrete. Once we have a position, we expose the smallest possible section, repair the line, and pressure-test before reinstating.
We tell you on the day what we found and quote the repair before we start.
Most general plumbing work is small - half a day, a couple of fittings. Plenty of plumbers won't take it on or charge enough to cover the inconvenience. We treat small work as routine. The same plumber who does a full bathroom renovation will come out for a leaking tap.
Acoustic leak detection, pipe locators, CCTV camera, pressure-test gear. The diagnostic side of plumbing is what separates fixing the symptom from fixing the cause. We bring the gear so we don't guess.
Louis holds plumbing, drainlaying, and gas fitting certifications. If a small plumbing job turns out to be a drainage or gas issue, we don't book a second tradie - we keep going.
CCTV inspections, hydro jetting, and full drain repairs. The page to read when a slow drain or recurring blockage isn't actually a plumbing issue but a drainage one.

Standard business hours rates apply for general plumbing callouts. We confirm the rate on the phone before we head out, and most small jobs (taps, toilets, washers, hot water flushes) are quoted on the spot. Free quotes during business hours.
Yes, small jobs. Most general plumbing work is small. A leaking tap, a running toilet, a slow drain, a filter change - all routine. We don't have a minimum booking size beyond the standard callout.
Meter test first - a 30-minute observation with everything off. If the meter moves, we section the property by zone to narrow down where the water is going. Then acoustic leak detection on the affected zone to pinpoint the leak position. Most investigations are resolved in a half-day visit. The repair after we find it is quoted separately.
Yes. We install supplied filters at labour-only rates. We'll also tell you whether the filter you've bought suits your water supply before we fit it - some imported units don't match NZ mains pressure or fitting standards and need an adapter or a different model.
