24/7 Pipe Repair & Replacements in Auckland

Across Auckland, ageing pipes, heavy rainfall, and shifting soil can lead to leaks, bursts, or collapsed pipelines. If these problems aren’t fixed quickly, they can cause property damage, water loss, contamination, and expensive repairs later on.

Our team uses advanced tools, like CCTV drain inspections and high-pressure water jetting, to quickly identify and clear any blockage. Our goal is to make sure your pipes are working properly by making sure flow is proper, by backflow prevention and other methods. Whether it’s a persistent issue or part of routine maintenance, we act fast to restore proper flow and prevent future problems.

Flowpro offers 24/7 pipe repair and replacement services throughout Auckland. Established in 2008, we’re locally owned and backed by Master Plumbers and Certified Drainlayers. Our licensed team has decades of combined experience handling complex residential and commercial pipework. From urgent leak repairs to full system upgrades, we’re the team for you.

Common Pipe Problems We Repair & Replace

A blocked or damaged pipe can disrupt your daily routine and cause long-term damage if ignored. Recognising the signs early allows you to take action before the problem escalates. Here are the common symptoms that signal it’s time to get help repairing or replacing your pipes, the causes, and what can happen if you delay.

Poor Water Pressure or Discoloured Water

Low water pressure or brown, cloudy water coming from your taps often indicates internal corrosion, rust, or mineral buildup within the supply pipes. Over time, sediment and scale restrict water flow and reduce pressure, while corroded metal pipes can release iron or contaminants that discolour your water. These problems are common in older Auckland homes with original galvanised or steel piping, which naturally deteriorates after decades of use. If left unresolved, the buildup can lead to leaks, uneven pressure, or damage to appliances connected to your plumbing system. Replacing ageing sections of pipe with modern PVC or copper lines restores consistent water flow, eliminates rust contamination, and ensures your home’s water supply remains clean, reliable, and compliant with New Zealand standards.

Leaking or Burst Pipes

Old or corroded pipes can split or burst without warning, especially during periods of high water pressure, cold snaps, or heavy ground movement. Even a small crack can quickly lead to significant water loss, flooding, or damage to surrounding walls and foundations. In many Auckland homes, older metal or clay pipes are especially vulnerable to internal corrosion and rust buildup, which weakens the pipe over time. Regardless of what it’s affecting (like your hot water cylinder, boiler, or other appliances) we’re here to help. Prompt repair or replacement not only prevents further structural damage but also protects your property from costly restoration work, water contamination, and inflated utility bills.

Root Intrusion and Cracked Pipes

Tree roots are one of the most common causes of underground pipe damage across Auckland, particularly in older areas with clay or concrete lines. Over time, small root hairs detect moisture escaping from joints or hairline cracks and begin growing inside the pipe, gradually widening openings and restricting water flow. As roots spread, they create blockages, cause pressure buildup, and eventually crack or split the pipe entirely. This can lead to leaks, foul odours, and even complete collapse of the line if not addressed quickly. While temporary clearing methods like hydro-jetting can remove roots for a short time, full pipe replacement or trenchless relining is often the only lasting solution to stop regrowth and restore your drainage system’s integrity.

Pipe Repair Options & What Affects Cost

Different issues require different solutions. Below are the main repair and replacement methods we use in Auckland, and also the key factors that affect pricing.

  • Pipe Patching or Sectional Replacement – For localised cracks or damage, we replace only the affected section. This is efficient for minor issues and helps extend the life of the existing system.
  • Trenchless Pipe Relining (No-Dig Method) – A resin liner is inserted into the damaged pipe, forming a new watertight layer inside the old one. This method avoids digging, reduces disruption, and is ideal for long runs or areas under driveways or landscaping.
  • Full Pipe Replacement – If pipes are too damaged, collapsed, or outdated (e.g., old clay or galvanised steel), full replacement is required. We install new PVC or polyethylene pipes to meet current NZ standards.
  • New Pipe Installation – For renovations, extensions, or new builds, we design and install full pipe networks for water, waste, and stormwater. Every system is installed for long-term reliability and compliance.

Factors That Affect Cost

  • Depth and access – deeper or hard-to-reach pipes require more labour and equipment.
  • Repair method – trenchless relining costs more upfront but avoids reinstatement expenses.
  • Urgency – emergency callouts or after-hours work may increase cost.
  • Surface reinstatement – driveways, tiles, or gardens above the work area affect final pricing.

At Flowpro, all quotes are fixed-price with no hidden fees. We’ll explain the method, cost, and timeline clearly before any work begins.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you’re noticing frequent leaks, water discolouration, or low pressure, your pipes may be deteriorating internally. In older Auckland homes, metal or clay pipes often reach the end of their lifespan after 40–60 years. A CCTV inspection by a licensed drainlayer will confirm whether targeted repairs are enough or if full pipe replacement is the more cost-effective long-term solution.

Yes, trenchless relining is a popular option throughout Auckland and across New Zealand. It allows us to repair cracked or leaking pipes without digging up your lawn, driveway, or garden. A resin liner is inserted inside the damaged pipe, creating a strong, watertight layer that restores full flow and durability while keeping disruption to a minimum.

Most modern replacements use PVC or polyethylene (PE) pipes because they’re lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and approved under New Zealand Building Code standards. In some cases, copper or PEX piping may be used for internal water supply lines, depending on property layout and pressure requirements.

Yes, our licensed team works on all types of pipe systems across Auckland, from small residential repairs to large-scale commercial and industrial installations. We’re experienced with both private and council-connected lines, including stormwater and wastewater networks.
