Burst pipes, leaking drains, you name it
Busted pipes, leaking hot water and bathroom leaks
Whether it’s a burst pipe gushing water into the walls or a dripping tap wasting water and adding to your bills, Pipe Doctor can stop the leak and have your home functioning as it’s supposed to.
Pipes are essential for modern plumbing and can cause significant inconvenience when they burst or leak.
Old old age, rodents, ground movement, tree roots, or accidental damage from tools can cause pipe damage. While a burst pipe is immediately noticeable, a slow leak might first be detected through an unexpectedly high water bill.
Whether your pipe issue is a minor leak or a major burst, it’s crucial to address it promptly. If you suspect a leaky pipe, turn off your water supply to prevent further damage or costs, and then contact us. Our team is highly experienced in repairing or replacing leaky or burst pipes, ensuring a quality fix that will save you from future problems.
A leaking hot water cylinder is a serious problem.
Not only does it lead to a shortage of hot water, but it can also increase your electricity and water bills. It also poses a safety risk if the heating element is exposed or if electronics get wet. Leaks might also indicate pressure buildup, which can have severe consequences if not addressed.
Leaks can occur in the cylinder itself, the connecting pipes, or components like taps and valves. If you detect a leak, you should turn off the water supply to the cylinder and the power at your switchboard to prevent electrical hazards and element burnout as the tank empties. Pipe Doctor provides repair and replacement services for leaking hot water cylinders and their components throughout the Wellington region.
A bathroom has many potential points for leaks.
Constant exposure to water can cause significant damage— even a minor bathroom leak can lead to rotted floorboards, joists, and plywood.
To prevent the long-term problems that bathroom leaks can cause, call the team at Pipe Doctor as soon as they appear. We are experienced in fixing any bathroom leaks throughout the Wellington region.
