Devonport is one of Auckland's most charming suburbs — heritage villas, character cottages, and tree-lined streets with serious history. But behind those beautiful facades, the plumbing tells a different story. Lead pipes still lurk in some of the oldest homes. Galvanised steel water lines are corroding from the inside. And original earthenware drains have had over a century of tree roots working their way in.
Water & Gas Worx handles it all. From heritage-sensitive re-pipes and hot water upgrades to gasfitting and blocked drains. Water and gas — it's what we do.
Whether it's a villa on Church Street, a cottage up on Mt Victoria, or a character home along King Edward Parade — we treat heritage properties with respect while bringing the plumbing into the 21st century.

Renovating a Devonport villa? We handle all plumbing and gas — working around native timber, original features, and heritage requirements.
Why Devonport Plumbing Has Its Own Challenges
Devonport's heritage housing and coastal location create unique plumbing issues:
- Heritage plumbing — Some Devonport homes date back to the 1880s. That means layers of plumbing from different eras — lead, galvanised steel, copper, and sometimes all three in one house. Sorting out what stays and what goes takes experience.
- Coastal corrosion — Surrounded by water on three sides, Devonport cops serious salt air. Hot water cylinders, external fixtures, and exposed pipework corrode faster here than almost anywhere else in Auckland.
- Tree root infiltration — Mature pohutukawa, oaks, and other established trees line Devonport's streets. Their roots have had decades to crack into old clay drain pipes. If your drains are slow, roots are usually the problem.
- Heritage renovation plumbing — Devonport homeowners renovate with care. That means working around original kauri, native timber floors, and character features. We run pipes cleanly and cause minimal disruption to the things that make these homes special.
- Water pressure — Some hillside properties around North Head and Mt Victoria can experience lower pressure. Pressure pumps and valve adjustments sort this out.
