Emergency Plumber Selwyn and Waimakariri

Fast-growing towns outside the city: Rolleston and Lincoln in Selwyn, and Rangiora, Kaiapoi and the planned town of Pegasus in Waimakariri, with a high share of homes built in the last two decades. You get a licensed plumber, not a call centre promise. We explain the price before we start, fix what can be fixed on the night in Selwyn and Waimakariri and come back to finish anything that needs parts.

Out of town emergencies: Selwyn and Waimakariri play by their own council rules

Rolleston, Lincoln, Rangiora, Kaiapoi and Pegasus all sit outside Christchurch City Council, so when a pipe bursts the network on the street side belongs to Selwyn District Council or Waimakariri District Council. If water is bubbling up before your boundary, the district council is the call to make, not the city. We ask where you are first so we can point you to the right one. These towns are a drive from the city, so we give you a realistic arrival estimate and talk you through isolating the water while you wait.

Selwyn households pay for every cubic metre of water they use, so a leak in Rolleston or Lincoln costs money for every hour it runs, and a dated invoice from the repair is worth keeping. Most of Rolleston has been built in the last twenty years on stony ground that did not liquefy in 2010, so the urgent jobs there are mostly fittings and hoses inside newer homes. Lincoln mixes those subdivisions with homes in the original 1862 grid around the belts, where older pipework shows up.

North of the Waimakariri River, the picture shifts. More than 900 homes in Kaiapoi and The Pines Beach were abandoned because of land damage, and many remaining older Kaiapoi houses were repaired, so a burst may sit at a join between new and old pipe. Rangiora's July average low is 0.6°C, so split pipes are a winter regular, while Pegasus, built since 2008, brings modern plumbing on compact planned streets.

Local tip: Save your district council's after hours water number next to ours, because a street side leak in Selwyn or Waimakariri is theirs to fix.
