If your hot water has suddenly stopped working, or your cylinder isn’t performing like it used to, we’re here to help. Plumbfast has over 47 years of experience providing hot water cylinder repairs in Christchurch homes, restoring hot water quickly, safely, and affordably.
Christchurch’s water conditions and seismic history can cause specific problems with hot water cylinders, from chlorinated water corroding elements to fittings shifting after earthquakes. Whether it’s a minor leak or a total loss of hot water, our certified team will assess the issue and carry out fast, effective repairs.
Hot water systems can develop a range of faults over time, some inconvenient, others potentially costly if ignored. We regularly repair issues like:
If you’re hearing unusual noises, noticing drops in water pressure, or your system simply isn’t keeping up, it may be time for a professional inspection. We’ll identify the issue and recommend the best course of action: repair or replacement.
For issues related to pressure or hidden moisture, explore our Water Leak Detection services. Consider a Water Filtration System to reduce the mineral buildup that shortens cylinder lifespan.
Regular hot water cylinder maintenance helps prevent breakdowns, extend system life, and keep your hot water running efficiently. Plumbfast offers annual servicing to check for wear and tear, remove sediment buildup, and test key components, especially important in areas like Christchurch where water quality can accelerate corrosion.
We also check for early signs of leaks or damage before they become expensive problems, saving you stress (and money) in the long run.
