In this episode of the Trends Property Insight Series, we sit down with Josh Marshall of Marshall Plumbers to explore the everyday decisions that lead to good plumbing and why getting the fundamentals right can significantly impact how your home feels, functions, and holds value over time.
Josh shares a clear, practical approach for homeowners at any stage: how to spot early warning signs, what to check before you buy, and where to start when planning upgrades. He talks through simple ways to build confidence, from understanding your water pressure and hot-water options to right-sizing bathroom fixtures and knowing when a quick fix is enough versus when it’s time to invest in the essentials.
We also explore the New Zealand context: varied housing stock, older systems alongside newer builds, and the realities of renovating in busy family homes. Josh’s message is grounded and straightforward, involve a plumber early, focus on reliability and usability first, and make choices that serve your lifestyle rather than the latest gadget.
This is a must-listen for anyone preparing to sell, weighing up a renovation, or moving into a new place and wanting to avoid surprises. Josh reminds us that plumbing isn’t just pipes; it’s peace of mind, and the right advice at the right time can make all the difference.
