Frequently Asked
Questions

Do you provide emergency water leak detection?

Yes. We offer emergency water leak detection 24/7 across Auckland. If you suspect a burst pipe, underground water leak, or a sudden issue with your plumbing or hot water cylinder, call us immediately. Acting fast helps us limit water loss and prevent costly property damage.

How does underground leak detection work?

We use advanced, non-invasive leak detection methods including thermal imaging, acoustic leak detection, and pressure testing. These technologies allow us to pinpoint the exact leak location, even under driveways, lawns, or concrete floors, without unnecessary digging or disruption.

What are the signs of water leaks?

• Low or fluctuating water pressure
• Damp patches on floors, walls, or ceilings
• Movement on your water meter when no taps are running
• Sudden spikes in your high water bills
• Hot spots on floors that may indicate leaks from a hot water cylinder

If you notice any of these, it’s time to call Water Works and book a professional leak detection plumber before the problem escalates.

Do you handle both repair and replacement?

Absolutely. Once we detect leaks quickly, we provide the right repair services to restore your water system. If a pipe, valve, or even your hot water cylinder is too damaged to repair, we’ll recommend whether it’s smarter to repair or replace for a long-term, cost-effective solution.

Do you work on hot water cylinders?

Yes. In addition to plumbing and leak detection, we service, repair, and install hot water cylinders. If you’ve noticed your hot water cylinder not working, leaking, or causing inconsistent water temperature, our team can inspect, diagnose and repair, or arrange a full replacement if needed.

Are your plumbers licensed and insured?

Yes. Every technician on our team is a certified master plumber, fully insured, and trained to New Zealand safety and compliance standards. This gives you complete peace of mind for any plumbing, gasfitting, or hot water cylinder service.

What areas do you service?

We provide plumbing and water leak detection services Auckland-wide, including Central, North Shore, East, West, and South Auckland.

Can you repair a hot water cylinder instead of replacing it?

Yes! If the issue is minor, such as faulty heating elements, a broken thermostat, or sediment at the bottom of the cylinder, we can often diagnose and repair it quickly. If the damage is more serious, we’ll advise whether it’s smarter to repair or replace.
