Do you handle the repair too? +

Yes — detection and repair are usually done in the same visit. You'll see the pressure reading and the fixed repair price before we start digging.

Which areas do you cover? +

All of Auckland — from the North Shore to Papakura. Based at 49c Station Road East, Auckland 1061.

Are you certified for gas work? +

Yes, our gasfitters are certified and all gas work comes with the required compliance documentation.
Industry notes

Why watermains fail in Auckland

Auckland's mix of clay soils and mature tree roots is hard on old water mains. The most common failures we see are split poly pipes at fittings, corroded galvanised sections in pre-1990s homes, and root intrusion at joints — often silent until the water bill spikes.

The warning signs: a water meter that creeps when nothing is running, a persistently damp patch in the lawn, or a bill that jumps with no change in usage. Catching these early is the difference between a targeted repair and a full main replacement.

Acoustic leak detection works because a pressurised leak makes a very specific sound — a hiss that travels along the pipe. With the right equipment we can hear leaks that are completely invisible from the surface, usually to within a metre or two.

If your bill has jumped and nobody can find the cause, that's exactly our specialty. One visit, one fixed price, one dry lawn.
