After 50+ years, those pipes are corroded inside — restricting water flow, discolouring water, and springing leaks.
Galvanised pipe issues are especially common in Mt Wellington's former state houses, where original plumbing was never upgraded. 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 Mt Wellington 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 Mt Wellington 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 Mt Wellington galvanised pipes from the 1950s-70s 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 Mt Wellington home ranges depending on the pipe material you choose and how accessible the existing pipes are. We assess your Mt Wellington property first and provide a fixed quote — no hourly rate surprises.
Most Mt Wellington 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 Mt Wellington household isn't disrupted for long.
Both are excellent choices for Mt Wellington 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 Mt Wellington homes where pipes run through tight spaces. We'll recommend the best option for your Mt Wellington home after the assessment.
Like-for-like pipe replacement in Mt Wellington generally doesn't need a building consent. If we're changing the pipe layout significantly or working on the mains connection at your Mt Wellington property, we'll handle the consent process for you.
