Your Local Experts for Hot Water Cylinder Repairs and Emergency Plumbing

Let’s face it – the state of your North Shore home or business’s plumbing probably isn’t something you spend much time thinking about, until something goes wrong.

Alas, when something does go wrong, there’s a good chance that you – and everyone else using the property – will know about it. Maybe a drain has become blocked, the toilet is clogged up, or a pipe has burst. Whatever it is – it’s often very visible, inconvenient, and annoying. 

Not only that, but it might be damaging the property, risking someone getting injured, or stopping you carrying out an urgent task. That’s why prompt and professional solutions are especially important in emergency situations.

But even if your plumbing issue isn’t an emergency, you’ll still want your North Shore plumber to provide the reliable services that will help keep your home or business property comfortable and functional.

Hot Water Cylinder Repairs North Shore Keeping the Hot Water Flowing

The hot water cylinder will be an essential part of your North Shore home or commercial premises, giving all occupants of your Auckland building an affordable, consistent, and reliable source of hot water.

Presuming it is a good-quality and durable model, your gas or electric hot water cylinder shouldn’t present you with many problems over its lifespan. However, certain issues can arise that might make hot water cylinder repairs necessary. These include if water leaks from your hot water cylinder, the water doesn’t heat up properly, or the water is discoloured or smells unusual. Problems like these can have a number of causes, such as the valves not working.

If any of the above issues do crop up at your domestic or business property, it is essential that you do not attempt to repair your hot water cylinder on a “DIY” basis. Given that hot water cylinders involve electricity, water, and sometimes gas as well, any mistakes with your “DIY” repair could risk scalding, leaks, or explosions.

Fortunately, here at Matthews Plumbing & Gasfitting, we are trusted and licensed professionals when it comes to all types of hot water cylinder repairs on the North Shore. So, when you call us to have your hot water cylinder repaired by our team, you can be sure of us carrying out the most professional, thorough, safe, and efficient repair. That, in turn, will help keep your hot water system running smoothly for months and years to come.

Emergency Plumber North Shore Responding to Urgent Situations

Such is the whole nature of “emergencies”, they rarely seem to happen at a “convenient” time. But when they do strike at a North Shore home or business property, they can cause a lot of stress and damage.

There are various situations in which you might need to call an emergency plumber on the North Shore. A pipe may burst, for example, due to water inside the pipe freezing and expanding. Or a drain might become blocked as a result of hair, food articles, grease, and/or soap scum building up.

In urgent situations like the above, quick response times and the 24/7 availability of an emergency plumber can be critically important.

Even if your emergency plumbing problem isn’t a threat to life, you will need to act quickly to avoid or minimise damage to your property. So, get on the phone to our team! We’re committed to providing prompt and reliable emergency plumbing services on the North Shore.

Gas Fitting and Plumbing Maintenance on The North Shore

As our name states, it isn’t just plumbing that we do in Auckland! If you need a gas fitter on the North Shore, you’re considering the right company in Matthews Plumbing & Gasfitting.

Our high-quality gas fitting services include the installation of instant hot water heaters, gas fireplaces, kitchen units, gas burners, and more. As gas fitting is a regulated trade in NZ, it is illegal for anyone to do this work unless they are authorised by the Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers Board, as we are.

In any case, hiring a qualified gasfitter will ensure safe and compliant gas installation and repair work at your North Shore home or commercial property. Our licensed gasfitters will ensure your gas appliance is correctly connected, flued, and vented.

Gas leaks can also happen in any property with gas appliances or heating systems. Frequent causes include poor installation, malfunctioning appliances, damaged gas lines, or just the age of the heating system. A gas leak is a serious emergency, requiring the immediate action of suitably qualified emergency gas fitters like our own at Matthews Plumbing & Gasfitting.

A gas leak can cause a fire or explosion. So, if you smell gas, you need to immediately turn off your gas supply at the meter or LPG cylinder, if it’s safe to do so. Then, get out of the building quickly, and call an after-hours plumber once you’re in a safe spot.

Returning to the subject of plumbing, don’t forget the importance of maintaining your systems, too. Our plumbing maintenance professionals can do scheduled checks of your hot water cylinder and other systems, to identify any potential issues and extend your systems’ lifespan.

After all, if you don’t actively maintain your plumbing systems, you might easily miss issues such as leaks or a lack of hot water. If left unaddressed, these could deteriorate into bigger problems in the future.
