Roof Repairs

If you have a leaky roof which is in need of repair have a look to see how TRITOflex™ can make your big and small leak problems cost effectively disappear.

Don’t let your roof worries keep you up at night. If you’ve got a leaky roof you may feel like the only solution will be costly repairs or replacements, there is a better way . . .


Even the highest quality roof can deteriorate over time. After a roof has reached or surpassed its expected lifetime there can be some degradation of the roof materials. Your roof may become damaged due to a myriad of things.


Some of the common issues are:

Contamination on your roof

These materials such as moss, needles, leaves and tree branches slow water flow down the roof, hold water and cause water to flow sideways on a roof. This can cause water to pool on your roof in places which can erode places and infiltrate cracks.


Gaps in your flashing

Flashing is the thin metal sheet or fitting that covers a seam or transition of your roof. Wind driven rain may find its way past flashing that was installed. This is a common cause of leakage during storms as the rain will commonly find gaps in your flashing around high sides of your chimney or skylight

A leak in your roof doesn’t have to be a big deal. Due to the new technologies of TRITOflex™ your roof worries can be simply sprayed away.


What exactly is TRITOFlex™?

The liquid rubber of TRITOFlex™ forms an elastic and durable waterproof membrane to whatever surface it has been sprayed on. The liquid rubber product forms a fully adhered seamless rubber membrane without the need for thousands of screws to hold it down

TRITOFlex™ covers the cracks and holes that may have formed on your roof, ensuring water and moisture stays exactly where it should – outside.


What is the TRITOFlex™ processs?

The professionals from TritoNZ will come and assess your damaged roof. The process after that is simple. A primer is placed on the required area of your roof which is then sanded down and smoothed over. The liquid rubber is then sprayed on the surface creating an instant waterproof membrane. TritoNZ will then check it over to make sure there are no defects and will take action on any exisiting ones.


So if you’ve got a leaky roof then TRITOFlex™ applied by TritoNZ could be the most simple answer to your roof repair woes.


Green Roof Systems

Green roofs are fun, economically and environmentally friendly. TRITOFlex™ is the perfect helper for creating a Waterproofing Membrane when creating your own Green Roof. Ever wondered what a green roof is? Or why that house down the street has it’s lawn on it’s roof? Long popular in Europe, green rooftops have begun to appeal to homeowners and businesses in New Zealand.


Having a Green roof is seen as an attractive way to promote environmentalism while also solving the problems of a conventional roof.

What actually is a Green Roof?

A green roof (also known as a living roof) is a roof of a building that is partially or completely covered with vegetation.


What are the benefits of making my roof a Green Roof?

Green roofs serve several purposes for both the building, the environment and yourself.

Having Green Roofing means your roof will actually last longer than a conventional roof due to the protection it gives from the elements.

Green Roofs are highly beneficial to the environment as they remove CO2 from the air and release oxygen and can create a habitat for wildlife.

You’ll notice the difference in your energy bill with a Green Roof as they absorb rain water and provide natural insulation which cuts down your energy costs.


How can I create a Green Roof?

It pays to talk to a building professional before deciding to construct a Green Roof. For one, you need to make sure your roof is strong. A Green Roof is a lot of ‘dead weight’ on your house as they can weight anything up to 150KG per Sqm.


How does TRITOFlex™ help me with my Green Roof?

When creating a Green Roof it’s important to apply a waterproofing membrane between the insulation and protection matt. If you can imagine, you have a living organism on your roof, which means lots of water and moisture.

TRITOFlex™ will act as a moisture barrier as it’s sprayed on like a liquid rubber that dries hard, creating a tight, durable rubber sealant. TRITOflex™ is also very lightweight so it won’t add to the pressure of the layer of your Green Roof.


How does TRITOFlex™ work?

TRITOFlex™ is spray applied to any thickness in one coat directly over the existing roof. The liquid rubber product forms a fully adhered seamless rubber membrane without the need for thousands of screws to hold it down.

By simply spraying TRITOFlex™ onto your Green Roof project you’re ensuring no water or moisture will be infiltrating your roof and causing damage to the lower layers. Combine this with a drainage mat and soil medium – the vegetation possibilities for the roof are endless.


If you are considering creating a Green Roof then look to TRITOFlex™ to assist you in creating your environmentally friendly and cost effective roof.


Drainlaying

Making sure your drains are properly laid plays an essential role in protecting your property, public health and maintaining a pollution-free environment.

Central to a well installed and well maintained drainage and disposal system is a certified or licensed drainlayer. Here at TritoNZ we have over 30 years of experience, ensuring your drains are properly installed in the most cost effective and professional manner.


Do you need drainlaying? Or just root removal?

We also specialise in root removal where roots have grown into pipes. If there’s a crack in one place it will crack in another place. Roots will grow and grow meaning disastrous effects to your drainage system.

The roots are attracted to the warmth and moisture of the sewer lines and send feelers through tiny cracks or loose joints. Once inside, the roots engorge themselves on the readily available nutrients. Before long, debris collects on the roots and blocks the water flow. The obstruction builds more quickly as the water flow slows and it becomes easier for debris to settle.

To confirm that roots are what’s blocking your drains, the experienced team here at TritoNZ can pop a camera into your drain. This helps detect where the cracks are and gives us a better idea of how to fix it. A drainage machine is then used to clean out the roots – without having to dig them up and do a costly drainlaying exercise.


Finding the most cost effective drainlaying solution

There’s no job too big or small for us as we can also hire diggers, hand dig or use our cameras and tools to avoid digging all together for a more cost effective drainlaying solution.

Kitchen Remodelling

Does your kitchen need a makeover or just a bit of a fix up? Regardless of the job, the team at TritoNZ have the tools and experience to assist you with all your Kitchen Remodelling needs.

An outdated or problematic kitchen can not only cause strife in daily life but it can also decrease the overall value of your home. Sometimes, rather than remodel, you might benefit from simply fixing up the common problems that can occur.


Got kitchen plumbing problems?

We’re experienced with unblocking kitchen waste disposal units and Insinkerators. Both of these are highly susceptible to getting clogged when objects get lodged that just won’t budge. A blocked Insinkerator can be a massive pain and can even lead to foul odours in the kitchen.

A leaking kitchen faucet can be an easy fix if you know what you’re doing. If you have concerns over fixing the faucet yourself, best to give the professionals a call before your leak becomes a flood.

If you’re fed up with your current kitchen or have kitchen woes getting you down, don’t hesitate to ask the guys at TritoNZ for a free quote with no strings attached. We’ll be happy to both quote for a remodel, and tell you the price just to fix up those hassles.


Kitchen Faucet Replacement

Whether your old kitchen faucet is leaking or you want to to replace it with something fancier, changing a kitchen faucet can be a very painless process when done right. The first thing you need to do it make sure you’ve got some helpful hands on deck before that water starts to flow.

The toughest part of replacing a kitchen faucet is removing the old one. Unexpected problems always pop up such as corroded pipes, difficult-to-reach nuts and poor access to fittings.


TritoNZ are highly skilled in making sure your kitchen faucet replacement is quick and stress free. We can also help you when coming to choose the best type of faucet for the job and it’s best to ask yourself a few questions before going ahead.
Here are some things to think of before replacing your kitchen faucet:


How Many Holes Are in Your Sink?

If you’re replacing an existing faucet, choose a new one that requires the same number of holes in the deck of the sink as the one that’s being removed.


What Kind of Handles Do You Want?

Typical kitchen faucets have either one handle that rotates directionally to choose a water temperature or two handles for mixing hot and cold water.


What Kind of Sprayer Do You Want?

Some newer models have sprayers integrated right into the faucet itself.

If any of these questions have left you with questions, don’t hesitate to give TritoNZ a call and we’ll set you right.


Leaking Sewer Pipe

Sewer pipe leaks can be tricky to identify because water always runs to the lowest point. Water can be showing up at one place and the actual leak can be 10 feet away. This is where the experienced professionals at TritoNZ can put your mind at ease.

If you have a leaking pipe underneath your foundation, it is either a water or sewer line. Repairing the damaged line is not that hard, however locating and gaining access to it is a different matter. Most leaks in a sewer line go undetected until there are visible signs of foundation damage.


At TritoNZ we use state of the art tools and expertise to locate your leak and to create access points to fix it.

Even if you do not have a foundation problem, you should have your sewer lines tested. Over time, leaking and broken sewer lines can cause significant home foundation repair problems.


It pays to not leave a potential leaking sewer pipe alone. If you do have a leak you’ll be causing damage to your foundations and property which is expense and stress that could be avoided. If you’re really not sure if you have a leaking sewer pipe put your mind at ease by talking to us at TritoNZ for a free, no obligation appraisal. We have all the answers to your leaking sewer pipe questions.


Storm Water Pipe Replacement

Poorly-managed stormwater can damage your property and the wider environment. However if you manage it properly storm water can be good for your garden. You can do this by making sure your storm water pipes are in good condition and if they’re not, replace them.

Stormwater is the water that runs off surfaces such as houses, roads, driveways, footpaths. In urban areas, it runs down drains into stormwater pipes or channels and is carried to rivers, lakes or the sea.


If your storm water pipes aren’t up to scratch then it can cause flooding, erosion and pollution of waterways.

The team at TritoNZ are your answer to replacing your storm water pipes which will ensure your property stays clean and damage free. Having a new and effective stormwater pipe means you’re:

  • helping to keep rivers, lakes and beaches cleaner and safer for swimming, fishing and other recreational activities
  • reducing the risk of flooding and erosion on your property and around your neighbourhood
  • reducing the need for spending on stormwater infrastructure, leaving money available for other uses or for savings on your rates bills.



If you have any concerns regarding your current storm water pipe or if you think you need one installed, get in touch with TritoNZ who have 30 years experience in solving pipe problems.


Unblocking Pipes and Sewers

A sewer drain clog is a very serious problem that can be considered a plumbing emergency in some cases. If you think you’ve got a blocked pipe or sewer it pays to be proactive before it becomes a big issue. An obstruction in the sewer affects all the plumbing fixtures in the house, and if it gets bad enough, you may find sewage backing out of some of your drains.


Clearing a blocked sewer usually isn’t a job you can do yourself. It takes professional expertise and equipment.

Since water in a blocked pipe has no place to go it will all come back up into the household plumbing in one way or another. When you have a sewer drain clog you should not use any of the plumbing in the home until the stoppage is cleared.


TritoNZ are experienced in detecting blocked pipes and sewers. We can use micro cameras to infiltrate your pipes. This means the exact point or points of damage can be pinpointed and fixed much quicker. No matter the size of the blockage we can solve it, whether this is by hand held plumbing tools or large drainage machines.


Don’t hesitate to give the friendly team at TritoNZ a call. Our licensed plumbers are professional and effective with all your blocked pipe needs.


Leak Detection

A leak on your property can waste thousands of litres of water, at considerable cost to you. If your water bill unexpectedly increases but your water usage patterns have not changed you might have a leak on your property.


When it comes to fixing a leak there is a three step process.

  • Find the leak
  • Determine the cause of the leak
  • Fix the issue rather than just patching it up.


This process is easier said than done as the first step is the biggest hurdle, leak detection can be tricky and is vital in order to solve your leak woes.

Here at TritoNZ we use top of the line plumbing tools and expertise to assess the area of your problem and find the exact point of the problem.

While it may seem quicker and cheaper to simply patch the leak, long term this doesn’t prove to be a better option. If you have blockages in your pipes causing cracks and then leaks, you’ll want these removed rather than simply patching the cracks. Sometimes the whole pipe will need to be replaced if it’s particularly old and weak to stop recurring issues down the track.


Don’t lose sleep over a leak. Get in touch with TritoNZ and get our team to detect, determine and fix your leak once and for all.


Hot Water Cylinder Replacement & Repair

A hot water cylinder is a water tank that is used for storing hot water for space heating or domestic use. A heavily insulated tank can retain heat for days. So when you’re in the shower and the water suddenly runs cold, it might be worth checking your hot water cylinder.


Fixing your hot water cylinder could save you thousands in power bills

This could also save you a tonne in power bills, as there are all kinds of flaws that develop in hot water cylinders that result in a lot of extra electricity being used to heat water and keep it warm. For example, if you have an old filament, it could take 5x more electricity to heat the water than a newer one. Or if it is badly insulated, you’ll be losing heat unnecessarily. If it looks like your hot water cylinder is in need of repair or replacement, don’t despair. The experienced team at TritoNZ know exactly what to do, and they do it well.


Water heater tanks should be installed with physical access in mind, both for inspection and for the eventual replacement of the entire tank. Even if your hot water cylinder is in an awkward spot, the Ark Plumbers will get in there quickly and get the job done efficiently.


Does your cylinder need fixing or replacing?

Generally any leak from the bottom of the tank will require total replacement of the unit (i.e. it is unrepairable). However, if the leak is coming from in or around the pipes or taps on the storage tank, then repair is an economically feasible option.


If you’re not sure why your hot water has left you out in the cold, don’t shiver and wait. Just give the team at TritoNZ a call so they can put your mind at ease.


Pepairing Flashings

The purpose of flashing is to keep surfaces watertight where two walls or points join together. Flashing is useful around roofs and windows where water might infiltrate the gaps in the joints. The material used for flashing is often thin metal. The downside to flashing is that over years of being exposed to the elements the metal can get old and rust, which creates gaps and then leaks.


Act fast so a small flashing leak doesn’t become a big one

If spotted early enough, a small gap can be resealed. Left untended, however, it could become a major leak requiring repair all the way down to the rafters.

While this can seem like a big job to fix, the Master Plumbers of TritoNZ have the simple solution. Armed with the genius waterproofing tool of TRITOflex™ your flashing can be sealed up in no time, and a much lower cost.


How does TRITOFlex™ fix leaking flashings?

TRITOflex™ is a liquid rubber which simply coats your eroded flashing. It dries fast forming a waterproof membrane for your roof and window joints.

There isn’t an issue if your flashing leaks are in high up awkward places. The guys at TritoNZ are experienced abseilers and can manoeuvre themselves around your building, making sure all your flashings get the attention they need and removing the need for costly scaffolding.


So if your flashing isn’t looking so flash, don’t stress. Just touch base with us here at TritoNZ obligation free quote.
