Spring’s here and the garden’s waking up! 🌱

Before you get the hose out, check your outdoor taps for drips, leaks, or wobbly fittings. A small drip can waste hundreds of litres over summer. If something’s not right, give us a call, and we’ll sort it before the dry weather hits.

What a fantastic couple of days! Te Ara Wāhine took place late last week in Rotorua, and was a huge success. It was so good to see women from across the plumbing and gas industry come together in one room, led by our very own Sarah.

Sharing stories, swapping advice and making new connections. There’s real strength in a network that backs each other, and it was inspiring to see so many wāhine building careers in the trades.

A big thank you to everyone who came along, and to all the speakers and HPCE Aotearoa for helping make it happen. We’re already looking forward to the next one!

This is the feedback we work for.

600+ reviews from happy customers. Not because we chased them, but because we showed up, did the job right, and treated people like they mattered.

Residential or commercial across the whole Bay of Plenty. Emergency callout or a full fit-out. The job changes, but the standard doesn’t.

If you’re done second-guessing your plumber, get in touch.

Hear a banging or thudding sound in your pipes when taps are turned off quickly? That's water hammer, and in a commercial building, it's worth taking seriously.

Water hammer occurs when fast-moving water is suddenly stopped or forced to change direction. The resulting pressure surge travels through the pipes and can cause:
🔧Pipe joint damage over time
🔧Accelerated wear on fixtures and fittings
🔧Stress on hot water systems and pressure reducing valves
🔧In severe cases, pipe failure and water damage

In a residential home, it's an annoyance. In a commercial building with multiple occupancies and a complex pipe network, it's a maintenance liability.

The fix is usually straightforward: a licensed plumber installs water hammer arrestors at the problem points, which absorb the pressure surge before it travels through the system.

If your commercial property has been banging for months and nobody's sorted it, now's the time.

BOP Plumbing & Gas provides planned maintenance and commercial plumbing services across the Bay of Plenty. Get in touch today!

The isolation valve. That small tap-like fitting on your water supply line that lets you shut off water to the sink without turning off your entire home supply.

Here's the thing: if you've never turned it, it's likely seized. And the moment you need it, during a leak, a burst pipe, or a fixture replacement, a seized isolation valve turns a minor problem into a major one very quickly.

What to do right now:
✅ Open the cupboard under your sink
✅ Find the isolation valve on the supply line
✅ Give it a gentle quarter turn, it should move freely
✅ Turn it back to the open position

If it won't move or if it moves but water keeps flowing, that valve needs replacing before it becomes an emergency.

Takes 30 seconds to check, as it could save you thousands.

If in doubt, contact us!

Have lukewarm showers and slow hot water recovery become the norm at your place?

Maybe your cylinder has started making strange noises or it simply isn’t keeping up with your household anymore. It’s easy to put up with a temperamental hot water system for far longer than you should.

Imagine having the old unit removed, a new hot water cylinder installed, and all the connections plumbed and tested in just one morning. By lunchtime, you could have reliable hot water again and be wondering why you waited so long.

If your hot water has been letting you down, it doesn’t have to stay that way. BOP Plumbing is your go-to plumbing expert. Book a call today: https://www.bopplumbingandgas.co.nz/contact/
