Plumbing in Remuera, Epsom and Mt Eden
These suburbs contain some of Auckland's most valuable properties — and some of its oldest plumbing. Many homes here were built in the 1920s through 1960s and may still have original infrastructure.
Large Homes, Complex Plumbing
Remuera in particular has many large, multi-bathroom homes where plumbing complexity is significantly higher than a typical three-bedroom house. Multiple hot water systems, multiple bathrooms, irrigation systems, and outdoor entertaining areas are all common. We are experienced in managing complex plumbing systems across larger properties.
Heritage and Character Homes
Mt Eden and Epsom have a high density of bungalows and villas from the early to mid 20th century. Many still have original galvanised steel supply pipes. If your home is in this era and you are experiencing low water pressure or discoloured water, we can assess whether repiping is needed.
Drainage in Established Suburbs
The mature trees that make Remuera, Epsom, and Mt Eden so attractive are the same trees that infiltrate old clay drain pipes with their roots. CCTV drain inspections regularly reveal root intrusion in these suburbs — often before a full blockage occurs.
Renovation Plumbing
These suburbs have a high rate of renovation activity — bathroom and kitchen upgrades, extensions, and full character home restorations. We work alongside builders and designers on renovation projects, ensuring the plumbing is done correctly and to code.
Gas Services

- Gas hot water replacement and upgrade (including Rinnai Infinity systems)
- Gas fireplace and log fire installation
- Gas cooktop connections
- Outdoor gas entertainment installations
- Gas compliance certificates for all work
