Call Now — We'll Sort It 0800 322 322Mt Eden sits right on top of Auckland's volcanic field — and that changes everything about plumbing here. Try digging a drain trench and you'll hit solid basalt rock at 300-600mm in many parts of the suburb. It makes drainage work harder, slower, and more expensive than your average Auckland job. You want a plumber who knows this going in, not one who discovers it on your dime.
Water & Gas Worx handles everything from drain excavations through volcanic rock to villa re-pipes, gasfitting, and hot water cylinder replacements. Water and gas — it's what we do.
Mt Eden has a real mix of housing. Grand villas from the 1890s-1920s up on the slopes near the summit. 1930s-1950s bungalows through the middle. Modern apartments and townhouses along Dominion Road and Mt Eden Road. Each era has its own plumbing problems, and we've worked on all of them.
Volcanic basalt makes Mt Eden drainage work unique. We have the gear and experience to excavate through rock for drain repairs, replacements, and new connections.
Galvanised pipes in your Mt Eden villa? Brown water and dying pressure mean they're past it. We re-pipe in copper or PEX, working around original framing.
Mt Eden has reticulated gas available. Gas hobs, califonts, fireplaces, heaters — installed, serviced, and certified. Compliance certs on the spot.
Electric, gas, or continuous flow — matched to your home and usage. Same-day replacements available. Mt Eden's older cylinders are often well overdue for replacement.
Tree roots plus old clay pipes equals blocked drains. We clear, CCTV inspect, and repair or reline. In Mt Eden, we also deal with scoria-filled backfill that shifts drain alignments over time.
Full plumbing and gas for renovations, additions, and new townhouse builds. Mt Eden's volcanic ground conditions don't surprise us — we plan for it.

Call, text, or fill out the form. You talk to the actual tradesman, not a call centre.
Volcanic basalt rock. Mt Eden sits on Auckland's volcanic field, and you hit solid basalt at 300-600mm below the surface in many areas. Drain excavations need rock-breaking equipment, which adds time and cost. We're upfront about this — we assess the ground and build it into the quote so there are no surprises.
That's bread and butter for us. We install, service, and certify all gas appliances.
We quote before we start. Mt Eden jobs can vary because of the volcanic rock factor, so we assess the ground conditions properly and give you an honest price upfront. Call 0800 322 322.
Absolutely. Mt Eden has everything from 1890s villas to 1930s bungalows to modern townhouses. We work carefully around character features and bring old plumbing up to current standards without damaging your home.
