Backflow Preventer
If you aren’t up to date on what exactly backflow is and how you prevent it, your South Auckland Plumbing experts are here to help.
Backflow is when undesirable liquid, gas, or suspended solid reverse flows into the water supply contaminating the water. This can be safely prevented with a backflow prevention device which is mandatory in NZ. Stopping contamination and pollution by preventing backflow is important for health reasons.
Affecting the quality and safety of our drinking water, backflow may be the biggest threat to our public water supply in New Zealand.
Fortunately, we specialise in backflow prevention and can offer advice and installation in homes across North Waikato, South Auckland, Papakura and Pukekohe.
New Zealand has strict legislation for the prevention of backflow to protect the safety of our drinking water. Regardless of the legislation, it is an essential device to add to your property to prevent illness and possibly even loss of life in cases of extreme neglect.
Get in touch with us today for advice and learn how to prevent backflow in your residential or commercial property.
- Chanelle and FelixWe would highly recommend anyone that needs plumbing work to 100% go through South Auckland Plumbing. From calling Charlie to organise a quote through to the work being completed by Des and his team it was made so easy and stress free. After having so many bad experiences with other plumbers it has been so nice to finally find a team that is so professional and easy to deal with. You are now our go to for any plumbing jobs, thank you so much!8/19/2024Marleen ArmstrongI recently had a great experience with South Auckland Plumbing. They were incredibly efficient from the start, providing a quote based on pictures I sent them and then completing the job promptly the next day. What impressed me most was their honesty and integrity. After finishing the job, they discovered it was less extensive than originally thought and offered me a lower price than quoted. Instead of pocketing the extra money, they reached out to ask if I preferred a refund or a credit. I opted for the credit, which they graciously offered to hold for future services. I can't recommend South Auckland Plumbing highly enough. Their professionalism, honesty, and excellent customer service are truly commendable. Special thanks to Karen for her outstanding assistance throughout the process. If you're looking for a reliable plumbing service in the area, look no further!8/19/2024Tuarau HuriThese Guys came out checked Gas Cylinder and the work done by BBPlumbing that leaked worse than first rang, I got so upset with for work to be done my carpets totally saturated but they did not care, Yes I was upset and desperate I contacted Sth Auckland Plumbing and they did a fantastic job highly recommend to anyone who needs work done properly don’t use anyone else now but Sth Auckland Plumbing they rock8/19/2024
- John MaifeaI am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional service provided by Karen from South Auckland Plumbing, along with Desmond, the plumber she promptly arranged to assist us. Yesterday, we found ourselves in a dire situation when a handyman's error resulted in the installation of the wrong shower during a full bathroom renovation at my place. As my elderly father, who requires 24/7 care due to his light dementia and enlarged prostate, relies heavily on his daily showers, the lack of hot water was an immediate concern for our family. Upon contacting Karen after midday, she swiftly coordinated Desmond's visit, and within just two hours, he was at our doorstep. Desmond's professionalism, efficiency, and empathy were immediately evident as he assessed the situation and identified a quick and effective solution. Not only did he rectify the issue promptly, but he also took the time to ensure my elderly parents felt comfortable and reassured throughout the process. Desmond's exemplary service, coupled with Karen's exceptional responsiveness and dedication to customer satisfaction, truly exceeded our expectations. Their attention to detail and genuine concern for our well-being during a stressful situation is a testament to the outstanding quality of service provided by South Auckland Plumbing. I wholeheartedly recommend South Auckland Plumbing to anyone in need of plumbing services, knowing they will receive nothing short of excellence and professionalism. Please extend my heartfelt appreciation to Karen and Desmond for their outstanding contributions. Thank you once again for your prompt assistance and unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction. Warm regards, John Maifea4/19/2024christine havilandThank you for a great job done. From contact to completion, the company did a great job with communication and estimate of time of arrival for the tradesman. Kelvin arrived introduced himself and got started. He worked above and beyond to get the outcome complete faced with an extra dilemna , he worked in a small space in some intense heat. Well worth it and reasonable, acceptable costs. I can recommend and will definitely be a return customer.3/19/2024
- Christine RangerBack in September 2023 our daughters cafe had the gas califont stolen overnight. The awesome team at South Auckland Plumbing were on call. They sorted a new califont & came & installed it all within 3 hours on a Saturday so she was able to stay open.

FIXED MY WATER LEAK VERY PROFESSIONALLY
Chase is the man
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED A+++++ THANKYOUMargaret FrenchWe want to thank you for the prompt professional service provided to us today. After initially phoning another company and being told they couldn’t see us until next week we found you by searching online. We were thrilled you were able to come the following day and all went smoothly as I was phoned in advance to give me time to get to our premises to meet Glen. He diagnosed and sorted out our problem quickly and even gave me an idea on what costs might be included if we were to replace our hot water cylinder in the future. He checked our water meter to make sure the leak was not continuing and tidied up when he left.6/30/2022
Thank you for the great service.Lisa CalcottIt's not very often these days I get such exceptional service where it prompts me to write a review, however this is the case with SAP. I have used them on many occasions and every time it is the same, truly fantastic service.6/03/2022
This time I had a leak with my hot water cylinder and was concerned as to whether someone could come the same day as it was a Friday before a long weekend.
Well wasn't I pleasantly surprised when Karen, with the lovely phone manner told me one of their team would be here within the hour. Then I had the very friendly team member Terry arrive with a smile and fixed the leak in no time. I must say the whole experience made my day. If only all companies you dealt with were the same.
I highly recommend SAP if what you want is prompt, efficient, good quality service at a reasonable price.
Well done to the team at SAP once again - Kerstin WatsonSuch a pleasure to deal with this company, why haven't I found you guys sooner! From the first contact and instant friendly reply, ease of booking the job... to the outstanding service.4/28/2022
Des was lovely, took all the stress away and did a great job replacing the kitchen tap and fixing the toilet cistern (didn't need replacement yet, thanks Des) . All the time explaining and communicating and did everything with much care.
I finally found a plumber I can trust (had bad experiences before).. Payment was also super easy via eftpos on site. Can't recommend enough. Thanks Des and SAP for a great job done 👍😊 I have peace of mind knowing who to call if my old house and its waterworks play up again in the future.Betsy StottIvan and Betsy Stott4/01/2022
South Auckland plumber Chase came late on second visit, as Management put us in the system but omitted to pass the message to Chase. Chase came late afternoon on Friday, quickly established where the unusual pipe leak was and what needed to rectify the problem. Chase returned on Monday afternoon, at an arranged time and efficiently repaired the leakage.
Chase is an excellent communicator and a credit to South Auckland plumbing. He is a friendly, polite person with us and has a very good rapport with his Apprentice and involved him in the whole job. We consider him a very good example for his apprentices to follow.Hein OosthuysenI reside in Takanini. The mixer in the main bath room started leaking. Water was flowing everywhere. I phoned the S.A.P. Ltd team at 8am on a Sunday morning!. I got my call answered with a friendly and help full voice.3/07/2022
The after hours technician came and repaired it in timely manner, without any hassle. - Good job team S.AP. Ltd -
I can definitely recommend the South Auckland Plumbing team
Will use them again - Roger BeddoesThe team were very quick to resolve the problem, a team was booked swiftly and they arrived earlier than the time they proposed. Once they identified where the leak was they sent the repair team in and the boys worked quickly and hard in a very hot shadeless driveway. Was very happy with all the stages of the work to completion.11/19/2021
- Merrin McCreadieHave had ongoing plumbing problems at my house over some years. Prior plumbers never seem to fix the problem properly and some were just complete rip off artists..10/28/2021
I a SOOOOOOOOO glad to have found South Auckland Plumbing
All of the plumbers they have sent out to me have been amazing and great at explaining what the trouble is and how they are fixing.
Their last visit yesterday got to the bottom of a pressure issue and the plumber took time to explain the situation and show me the test that they were running. Super happy with their service!James CarrollMy water bill went crazy when I had some people staying with me earlier this year, but after they left the water bill was still crazy and I couldn't figure out why. I found a water leak inside the wall coming out the boards on the side of my house yesterday so I asked them to come and they did later that day. They fixed the issue and the bill was really reasonable. I'm very happy with the job.10/28/2021Kim SamuelsI highly recommend Chase and Liam from South Auckland Plumbing Ltd. We called SAP to fix our pressure valve and stabilize our toilet and were given an appointment following our phone call in the next two days. SAP sent Chase and Liam to assess the situation, and not only did they remedy both problems, but they also provided us with fantastic and speedy service. If you're looking for two informative, professional, and friendly plumbers, these are your guys!10/22/2021
We will definitely be in contact in the future.😊
Thanks again,
Kim.Lisa McTavishGreat job replacing my old dishwasher. Guys turned up when expected with a courtesy call first. Job was done fast and efficiently, even with my dogs trying to ‘help’ all the way through!10/22/2021
Definitely be using again if I have any other plumbing jobs and happily recommend to friends. - David IngI've used South Auckland Plumbers around 6 times over the last year and been happy with their service every time.9/08/2021
Each time they got the job finished same day (small jobs) and at a great price.
My experience is that they show up on time and communicate if they cant make it.
At the end of a job they also give me some insights into what they've fixed, the parts they use and any advice they think is useful.
We've used other plumbers and generally get an expensive bill or they have to come back later as they don't have the parts.
Would totally recommendhix efalaimoWhat a fantastic ,professional ,reliable, onto it tradesperson Chase is .Thankyou for having this person in your business.

You always offer reliable & professional service.1/20/2021Fritha ParkesI always use South Auckland Plumbers.1/04/2021
They are efficient, friendly, courteous and professional.
They quote accurately, arrive when they say they will (or call if they need to change the time by a little) and I have found them to be helpful, knowledgeable and give clear explanations for what they have done, without talking down to me.
Asa woman on my own who knows nothing about plumbing except that water comes from a tap (hopefully!), this aspect of their service is really important to me.
Over the years I have had several plumbers from South Auckland Plumbing do work for me and they have always provided excellent service.
The office woman Karen is also prompt, friendly and helpful.
If you live in South Auckland, i highly recommend their service.
Five stars from me!!Brad MowerWe had an urgent need of assistance and have used South Auckland Plumbing previously so called them again. From booking the job fairly early in morning through to completion mid afternoon the service was second to none.12/10/2020
The Plumber was clear and explained everything throughout along with best course of action, job was completed with the minimum of fuss and clear advice was provided to avoid similar problems in the future.

The service I receive from South Auckland Plumbing is by far the best I've received in a while. I have requested their assistance on 3 seperate occasions over the last 2 years to fix different plumbing related issues. Some of these issues have been quite urgent for me and each time I have dealt with them, they have been quick to respond and send one of their friendly crew out to my house to assist. I will definitely continue to use them in the future. I highly recommend them! -
- Tam VoSouth Auckland plumbing were excellent. They responded to our call quickly and the plumber who completed the job was super friendly. The only downside was that he bombed our toilet because of the steak and cheese pie I gave him for lunch hahahaha. Sorry mate, I didn't know you couldn't eat dairy. Their quote for the job was about 40% less than some other plumbers we contacted. Would highly recommend.9/25/2020Matey CroftVery reliable, honest and efficient service. Admired how much respect Andrew displayed by removing his shoes every time he came back inside from being under the house. He took the time out to explain the damage and solution. Received a phone call from Karen to advise me that I would receive a refund as the work didn't take as long as I was quoted. How's that for honesty. I wouldn't hesitate to use their service again or recommend them. Thank you South Auckland plumbing.9/25/2020

Cant praise enough and have enjoyed the experience along with looking forward to more future business with such a great team!Paul MuolloIn the past few weeks we used South Auckland Plumbing to repair and replace the main water line between the house and the meter.
