Henderson is the heart of West Auckland — a big, diverse suburb with a massive stock of state housing from the 1950s-1970s, newer developments along Lincoln Road and Te Atatu Road, and a flood history that's impossible to ignore. The January 2023 Auckland floods hit Henderson harder than almost anywhere, and many homes are still dealing with the plumbing aftermath.
Water & Gas Worx handles it all. Flood-damaged plumbing repairs, galvanised pipe replacements, gasfitting, hot water cylinders, and drainage upgrades. Water and gas — it's what we do.
Henderson's plumbing challenges are real. Old pipes in state houses. Stormwater systems overwhelmed by heavy rain. Hot water cylinders that were submerged in floodwater and need replacing. We don't just fix the immediate problem — we look at the whole picture and make sure your plumbing is set up to handle what Henderson throws at it.

Why Henderson Plumbing Is Different
Henderson's combination of old housing, flood exposure, and growing density creates unique plumbing challenges:
- Flood-prone suburb — The 2023 Auckland Anniversary floods hit Henderson devastatingly hard. Henderson Creek overflowed, streets turned to rivers, and hundreds of homes were inundated. Many properties still have plumbing damage — cylinders that were submerged, drains that were overwhelmed and damaged, pipes contaminated with floodwater. If your Henderson home was flooded, get your plumbing properly assessed.
- State house galvanised pipes — Henderson has one of the largest concentrations of state housing in West Auckland. These 1950s-1970s homes have galvanised steel water pipes that are corroding from the inside — brown water, restricted flow, and leaking joints. A full re-pipe in copper or PEX is the only lasting fix.
- Overwhelmed stormwater systems — Many Henderson properties have stormwater drainage that was designed for the rainfall patterns of 50 years ago. Climate change means heavier, more frequent downpours. Undersized drains, blocked grates, and outdated connections can't cope. Upgrading stormwater drainage is becoming essential, not optional.
- Mixed housing density — Henderson is seeing more townhouse and apartment developments alongside its traditional quarter-acre state houses. Increased density puts more demand on aging infrastructure. New connections need to be done properly to avoid impacting neighbours.
- Insurance-related plumbing work — Many Henderson homeowners are still working through insurance claims from the floods. We provide detailed quotes, documentation, and before/after records that insurers require. We know what they need to see.
