Rust builds up inside the pipe walls over decades, narrowing the bore until you're getting a trickle from taps that used to run full pressure. We replace old galvanised pipes with copper or PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) — both are proven, long-lasting materials that won't corrode.
Every re-pipe job in Kohimarama starts with a full assessment so we can map the existing pipework and quote accurately before any work begins.
Brown or rusty water — corroded galvanised pipes shedding rust into your Kohimarama water supply.
Low water pressure — rust buildup narrows the pipe bore, starving taps and showers of flow.
Pinhole leaks — small leaks appearing in walls or ceilings as corrosion eats through pipe walls.
Banging or rattling pipes — loose corroded fittings and weakened pipe supports.
Pipes over 40 years old — most Kohimarama galvanised pipes from the 1930s-60s are well past their lifespan.
Frequent repairs — if you're patching leaks every few months, a full re-pipe saves money long-term.
A full re-pipe for a typical 3-bedroom Kohimarama home ranges depending on the pipe material you choose and how accessible the existing pipes are. We assess your Kohimarama property first and provide a fixed quote — no hourly rate surprises.
Most Kohimarama re-pipe jobs take 2-3 days for a standard 3-bedroom house. We keep water running as long as possible and minimise downtime so your Kohimarama household isn't disrupted for long.
Both are excellent choices for Kohimarama properties. Copper is the traditional option with a proven 50+ year track record. PEX is flexible, faster to install, and often more cost-effective for Kohimarama homes where pipes run through tight spaces. We'll recommend the best option for your Kohimarama home after the assessment.
Like-for-like pipe replacement in Kohimarama generally doesn't need a building consent. If we're changing the pipe layout significantly or working on the mains connection at your Kohimarama property, we'll handle the consent process for you.
