Plumbing Services We Offer in St Johns
We handle the full range of residential and commercial plumbing services across St Johns and eastern Auckland. Whatever the job, we bring the right tools and the right ticket. Here are the core plumbing and repair services we provide.
Leak Detection and Repair
Hidden leaks waste water and damage your home. We find leaks fast, from dripping taps and failing seals to pipes inside walls and under floors, and repair them before they turn into a bigger problem.
Tap, Toilet and Fixture Repairs
Running toilets, worn taps and faulty fixtures are the everyday jobs we get sorted quickly. We repair or replace tapware, mixers, cisterns and fittings throughout your home.
Burst and Frozen Pipes
A burst pipe needs immediate action. We isolate the water, repair or replace the damaged section and help you limit the damage. Call us straight away and we will respond as an emergency.
Backflow Prevention and Testing
Backflow prevention protects your drinking water from contamination. As certifying plumbers we install, test and certify backflow devices to meet Auckland Council and Watercare requirements.
New Builds and Renovations
Planning a new build or renovation in St Johns? We work alongside homeowners, builders, architects and bathroom designers to plumb new bathrooms, kitchens and laundries to code and on schedule.
Emergency Plumber in St Johns
Plumbing emergencies do not wait for business hours, and neither do we. Abel Plumbing offers emergency call-outs across St Johns and eastern Auckland for the problems that cannot be left, including burst pipes, major leaks, overflowing toilets, blocked drains and no hot water.
When you call, we aim to get a plumber to you as quickly as we safely can, and we will give you a realistic arrival time up front. In the meantime we can talk you through shutting off your water or gas to limit the damage. For an after-hours emergency, phone us first rather than using the form, so we can respond straight away.
Gas appliance installation and safety checks
Whether you are installing a gas hob, a heater or a gas hot water unit, we make sure it is connected safely and working correctly. If you are unsure about an existing connection or can smell gas, call us straight away for a safety check.
Hot Water Systems and Cylinders
No hot water is one of the most common reasons St Johns homes call us. We repair, replace and install hot water systems of every type, including mains and low-pressure hot water cylinders, gas continuous flow units and electric water heaters.
If your cylinder is leaking, running cold or past its best, we will tell you honestly whether a repair makes sense or whether a replacement is the smarter spend. We size the new system to your household so you are not paying for capacity you do not need.
Blocked Drains and Drain Cleaning
Blocked drains are messy and they only get worse. Our drain cleaning service clears blocked sinks, showers, toilets and gully traps, as well as larger stormwater and wastewater drains around your property.
For stubborn or recurring blockages we use CCTV drain cameras to find the cause, whether that is tree roots, a collapsed pipe or a build-up, and fix it at the source rather than just shifting it along. We also service and repair sump pumps and carry out routine drain maintenance to keep things flowing.
Gasfitting and Gas Services
Gas work must be done by a licensed gasfitter, and ours are. We install, service and repair gas appliances across St Johns, including gas hot water, gas cooktops, gas heating and continuous flow systems.
Every gas job is completed and certified to the required standard, so you have the paperwork and the peace of mind that it has been done safely. If you smell gas, leave it to the professionals and call us.
Bathroom and Kitchen Plumbing
Bathrooms and kitchens are where good plumbing really shows. We handle everything from a single tapware upgrade to a full bathroom or kitchen renovation, including showers, baths, vanities, sinks, dishwashers and waste systems.
If you are renovating, we will plan the plumbing layout with you, rough it in and finish it off with quality fixtures that suit your space and budget. Tidy work, sensible advice and fittings that last.
