As a new plumbing business in Auckland, Murphy Plumbing is dedicated to providing reliable and trustworthy service. We're here to answer your most common plumbing questions and offer practical advice. Our goal is to make plumbing solutions accessible and easy to understand for everyone.

Why is my water bill so high?
A sudden increase in your water bill often indicates a hidden leak. This could be in a pipe, toilet, or even an irrigation system. We can help you identify the source and fix it to prevent further water waste.

Why is there a loud banging or whistling noise when water is being used?
These noises can be caused by various issues, including water hammer (sudden stop of water flow), high water pressure, or loose pipes. It's best to have a professional plumber inspect your system to diagnose and resolve the problem before it causes damage.

How do I prevent leaks?
Regular maintenance, such as checking for dripping taps and visible pipe corrosion, can help prevent leaks. Ensuring proper insulation for outdoor pipes and addressing minor issues promptly can also save you from larger problems down the line.

What should I do if there is a water leak?
If you detect a water leak, first try to locate an isolation valve that is within eye view to shut off the water supply to the affected area. If you can't find one or aren't sure, it's best to wait for us to arrive to avoid further complications.

How does your service work from start to finish?
