Call Now — We'll Sort It 0800 322 322Birkenhead has a mix of older established homes and newer developments on the North Shore. Common plumbing issues include aging pipes, old hot water cylinders, and drainage problems from mature trees.
Many older homes were plumbed with galvanised steel — now 50-60 years old and corroding from the inside.
The signs are hard to miss: rusty brown water, noticeably low flow, pinhole leaks appearing in walls or ceilings, and stained laundry. If you're seeing any of these, the pipes are failing — and patching won't fix corrosion from within.
A full house re-pipe is typically done in 1-2 days with minimal disruption. We plan the job to keep your water off for the shortest time possible.
Rusty or brown water — galvanised pipes corroding from inside.
Low water pressure — corrosion narrows the pipe, choking flow.
Banging or rattling pipes — loose or corroded pipe fittings.
Pinhole leaks — small leaks in walls or under floors, staining ceilings.
Stained laundry or fixtures — iron stains from corroded pipes.
Pipes over 40 years old — galvanised steel has a 30-50 year lifespan.
