Plumber & Gasfitter Servicing Point Chevalier

Water & Gas Worx services Point Chevalier and all of Central Auckland. We're not some big company sending whoever's available — when you call, you're talking to the person who does the work.

Point Chevalier is one of Auckland's most popular inner-west suburbs — a mix of classic 1940s-60s bungalows, character villas, and modern townhouse developments. The older homes along Pt Chevalier Road and surrounding streets are where most of our work comes from.

We've worked on all types. The older bungalows often have galvanised pipes that are corroding from the inside, clay drains with tree root intrusion, and hot water cylinders well past their use-by date. If that sounds like your place, give us a call.

Common Plumbing Issues in Point Chevalier

Point Chevalier's housing stock is mostly 1960s-70s, and that era comes with a specific set of plumbing problems we deal with every week:

• Galvanised steel pipes — The number one issue. Most 1960s-70s Point Chevalier homes were plumbed with galvanised steel that's now 50-60+ years old. The pipes corrode from the inside — you get rusty brown water, reduced flow, and eventually leaks. Full re-pipes with copper or PEX are common work for us around Ridge Road, Moore Street, and the streets behind Newmarket Road.
• Clay drain pipes — Same era, same problem. Earthenware clay drains crack, sag, and let tree roots in. Big established trees on Point Chevalier's quarter-acre sections make this worse. We CCTV inspect and do targeted repairs rather than digging up your whole yard.
• Low-pressure hot water — Many homes still run original low-pressure cylinders that can't handle a decent shower. Mains pressure conversions are one of our most popular jobs in Point Chevalier.
• Polybutylene pipes — Some 1980s-90s renovations used grey plastic poly-B pipe that's now failing at the fittings. If your house was renovated in that era, it's worth checking before you get a surprise leak.
• Multi-unit drainage — With more townhouses going up around Point Chevalier, shared drainage systems need careful design. We make sure new connections don't create problems for the neighbours.
