Plumbing services and coverage

Registered Plumbing Contractors

Registered plumbers who certify the work they complete

Plumbing covers considerably more than the word suggests. Through our contractor network the scope includes new plumbing installations, drainage and blockages, leak detection and geysers and heat pumps. An emergency call-out and a full re-plumb are different jobs needing different contractors, and matching properly saves everyone a wasted visit.

The Plumbing Industry Registration Board registers qualified plumbers and issues Certificates of Compliance for water installations. A registered plumber can issue the certificate that many municipalities and insurers require, particularly on geyser replacements. Ask for the registration number before work starts rather than after, and verify it independently.

Water pressure and pipe age drive most of the plumbing work we place. Older homes still running galvanised pipe develop pinhole leaks and restricted flow as the internal bore corrodes, and patching one section usually just moves the failure further along the line. High-pressure areas need a working pressure-control valve, and a failed one quietly destroys geysers and mixers.

Plumbing splits awkwardly into work you plan and work that wakes you at two in the morning, and the two price completely differently. An emergency call-out for a burst pipe is not comparable to a scheduled bathroom re-plumb, and comparing quotes across that divide tells you nothing. We publish no rates. Tell us whether this is urgent or planned and we will match you with contractors covering your area.

Geysers, Heat Pumps And Hot Water

Certification that your insurer will actually ask for

Geyser replacement almost always needs a compliance certificate, and your insurer is very likely to ask for it if you later claim for water damage. The certificate covers the installation being correct — valves, drip tray, overflow and pipe routing. A cheap geyser replacement without certification is a false economy that only becomes obvious at claim stage.

Repeated geyser failure is almost always the installation rather than the geyser. Water pressure, water quality and a failed element or thermostat account for most of it, and geysers in high-pressure areas without a properly functioning pressure-control valve fail early and repeatedly. If you are on your third geyser in a decade, the problem is not the manufacturer.

Which system suits depends on how the household actually uses hot water. Heat pumps run efficiently but need space, airflow and a longer recovery period, which suits steady demand better than a household with three showers in one hour. Solar water heating depends on roof orientation and available area. Conventional geysers remain the simplest option where demand is peaky or space is tight, and older properties may need board or pipework work before any change.

Geyser replacement is one of the few plumbing jobs where the insurer often has a say. Many household policies cover geyser failure and appoint their own contractor, which affects both what you pay and who does the work — and calling your insurer before calling a plumber is sometimes the cheaper order of operations. Confirm what your policy covers before committing. We publish no rates. Tell us what you need and we will match you with contractors covering your area.

Leak Detection, Drains And Blockages

Locate first, excavate second — never the other way round

Finding a leak you cannot see starts at the meter. Close every tap and check whether it is still turning — if it is, you have a leak on the property. From there, electronic and acoustic detection narrow the location without excavating the whole garden. Be wary of any contractor who wants to start digging before locating.

Recurring blockages usually indicate something structural rather than something you flushed. Root ingress, a collapsed section, a bellied pipe holding water or inadequate fall will all clear temporarily and block again within months. If the same drain blocks repeatedly, ask for a camera inspection rather than another clearing.

Stormwater and sewerage are separate systems with separate problems. Stormwater issues usually appear after heavy rain — overwhelmed gullies, water pooling against foundations, or downpipes discharging where they should not. Sewer problems are constant rather than seasonal. Older properties often have the two incorrectly connected somewhere, which only becomes apparent during a downpour.

We do not publish prices for leak detection or drainage work. What it costs depends on how much investigation is needed, whether excavation follows, the depth and route of the pipework and local contractor rates. Any figure quoted before an investigation is a guess. Get in touch and we will put you in front of contractors covering your area who can diagnose and then quote.

Plumbing that holds

Every plumbing job we refer is completed by a PIRB-registered professional.

A dripping tap might seem minor, but unresolved plumbing issues escalate quickly. Our verified plumbers diagnose problems accurately, quote transparently, and complete work to a standard that lasts.

Whether you need a geyser replaced today or a full plumbing fit-out for a new development, we connect you with the right licensed plumber for the job.

Water pressure and pipe age drive most of the plumbing work we place. Older homes still running galvanised pipe develop pinhole leaks and restricted flow as the internal bore corrodes, and patching one section often just moves the failure along the line. High-pressure areas need a working pressure-reducing valve, and a failed one quietly destroys geysers and mixers. If you are getting recurring leaks rather than one, the pipework itself is usually the answer rather than the fittings.
