Water leaks can be obvious, or frustratingly difficult to find. Whether you’re facing flooding in the laundry or just a mysterious damp patch, Plumbfast provides expert leak detection in Christchurch to get to the root of the issue quickly.
Our plumbers use specialist equipment and extensive experience to track down even the most hidden leaks. From underfloor pipes to behind-the-wall problems, we’re trained to diagnose without unnecessary damage. If you suspect a leak but can’t see the source, give us a call. We’ll investigate, confirm, and recommend the best next steps.
Some water issues make themselves known, others creep up over time. Signs you may need burst pipe repair or water leak repair include:
Pipes can leak or burst due to corrosion, high water pressure, freezing temperatures, or even tree root intrusion. And in Christchurch, residual earthquake stress can also contribute to pipe damage, especially in older homes.
If a pipe has burst, it’s important to act quickly. Turn off your mains supply at the toby (usually located near the street boundary) and call us immediately. We’ll dispatch one of our licensed plumbers with the tools and parts needed to handle most burst pipe repairs on the spot.
Our team prioritises fast response times, tidy workmanship, and repairs that are built to last. We don’t just stop the leak, we take steps to prevent it from recurring, protecting your home and giving you peace of mind.

Some leaks are just the symptom of a bigger issue. We’ll let you know if your pipework needs more than a patch fix, and talk you through replacement or rerouting options if needed.
Whether it’s a corroded pipe behind a bathroom wall or an ageing connection under your house, we’ll explain your options clearly and provide quotes upfront. We can also recommend upgrades to improve performance and reduce future risk, especially in areas with chlorinated water or fluctuating pressure.
