WATER MAIN REPAIRS & PIPE LEAKS
A sudden spike in your water bill is often the first clue that you have a leak in your water main or underground pipe. Before you panic, follow these simple checks:
In some cases, replacing a deteriorated water main is more cost-effective than repeatedly repairing old pipes. We can advise you on the best solution for your situation—whether it’s a quick fix to a small leak or a complete water main upgrade.
- Do a 10-minute meter test: Turn off all taps and water-using appliances, then record or photograph your water meter reading. Wait ten minutes without using any water, then check the meter again. If the reading changes, you likely have a leak.
- Look for visible leaks: While waiting, inspect the property for puddles or damp patches that shouldn’t be there. Sometimes, the source is as simple as a tap left running under the house or an old hose.
- Shut off the supply if needed: If you confirm a leak, try to shut off the water at the toby (shut-off valve) near the meter to prevent further damage, then contact Build NZ. If the leak is on the council’s side (beyond your property boundary), notify the local authority.
WATER TANK INSTALLATION IN AUCKLAND
Installing a water tank is a smart choice for any Auckland homeowner looking to improve water efficiency and reduce reliance on mains supply. At Build NZ, we can install high-quality water tanks that suit your property’s needs and budget. From selecting the right size and type to managing plumbing connections and overflow systems, our experienced team ensures every installation runs smoothly. Contact us today to discuss your water tank project and enjoy the benefits of a reliable water source for years to come.
PIPEWORK REPLACEMENTS
Old and leaking pipes can cause skyrocketing water bills, inconsistent water pressure, and potential damage to your home. Replacing outdated pipework with modern materials not only prevents ongoing leaks but also improves water flow throughout the property.
Build NZ often recommends high-grade, blue medium-density pipe for new installations. This material is robust and designed to last, making it the ideal replacement for older galvanized or copper pipes. Whether you’re dealing with frequent leaks or adding an extension, our expert team can handle everything from demolition to final fitting—ensuring your upgraded plumbing system runs smoothly for years to come.
BACKFLOW PREVENTION AND TESTING
Backflow occurs when contaminated water flows back into the potable water supply, posing serious health risks. Properties that are considered high or medium risk must have backflow devices installed and tested annually to comply with local regulations. If your valve has failed or needs replacing, Build NZ can install and test new backflow devices to keep your property safe and compliant.
TOILET REPLACEMENTS AND REPAIRS
A leaking, outdated, or faulty toilet can waste a huge amount of water and become a daily annoyance. Build NZ provides:
- New toilet installations: Modern suites that are more hygienic, easier to clean, and better at water conservation
- Repairs and replacements for inbuilt cisterns, valves, seats, and old cast-iron stacks
- Expert advice on whether a repair is viable or if a full replacement is the smarter option
We take into account the age of your existing system, your budget, and the potential risks of repeated leaks to ensure you get the best outcome.
SPOUTING, GUTTERS, AND DOWNPIPES
Effective spouting and guttering protect your home from water damage by channelling rain away from vulnerable areas. If your gutters are sagging, rusting, or constantly blocked, it might be time for a professional upgrade. Build NZ can:
- Clean and unblock existing guttering
- Replace spouting and downpipes with durable Marley systems (or your preferred brand)
- Install features like the Marley Twist for capturing rainwater to reuse around the garden
We take into account the age of your existing system, your budget, and the potential risks of repeated leaks to ensure you get the best outcome.
WATER PRESSURE PROBLEMS
Low pressure can make showering and daily chores frustrating. Often, older homes with small, corroded pipes or outdated valves create bottlenecks in the water supply. Build NZ assesses your pipe sizing, pressure-regulating valves, and hot water cylinder type to pinpoint the issue. While sometimes the solution is as simple as clearing a blockage, other cases may call for more robust upgrades like a mains pressure hot water system or re-piping certain areas.
TAP REPAIRS, REPLACEMENTS, AND MIXERS
Dripping taps and faulty mixers waste water and spike your bills. We handle:
- Minor repairs for leaking taps or pipes
- Brand-new installations of kitchen sink mixers, shower mixers, and more
- All-pressure tapware advice for homes with low-pressure hot water
Our skilled plumbers can evaluate your existing system and suggest whether a repair or total replacement is more economical.
