Based in Hamilton, we are a passionate, family-owned and operated business run by husband-and-wife dream team Dave and Soroya McGall. We pride ourselves on delivering top-quality service with a smile, ensuring our customers are always satisfied.

About our Brand
The word ‘Soda’ conjures up images of something refreshing and invigorating; which is what you will get when you book with us. Our brand signifies fast response time with honest, reliable service.
“We wanted a word which was familiar to people, but didn’t necessarily relate to the plumbing industry. Soda came to mind as something fresh and new, as well as a combination of both our names, Soroya and Dave, So-Da.”
We look forward to working with you!
Dave & Soroya
Meet Team Soda
Meet Dave, better known as Fudgie, our owner and director here at Soda Plumbing. A proud Waikato local, Dave kick-started his career as an apprentice in Auckland, gaining hands-on experience across both industrial and residential sites.
For two decades, Dave worked behind the scenes, supporting the plumbing industry as a merchant, supplier, and mentor to apprentice plumbers. After some time in the corporate world, he’s now decided it’s time to get back to his roots and pick up the tools again - bringing his wealth of knowledge and experience with him.
When he’s not running Soda Plumbing, Dave’s all about balance - whether it's a round of golf, a game of football, or a Pilates session. He’s also a sports fanatic who loves planning his next holiday and don’t be surprised if you find him serving up the best mojito you’ve ever tasted.
Like the Irish, he’s got a soft spot for a good Guinness.
Soroya McGall / Mrs Soda
SOCIAL MEDIA / OWNER
Introducing co-owner Soroya (a.k.a. Mrs. Soda), the creative force behind Soda Plumbing and Gas’s social media presence, who also helps create a great atmosphere for our team.
With a career spent supporting young people and families in the community, Soroya shares Dave’s belief that top-notch customer service and outstanding workmanship are essential.
When she’s not keeping Fudgie (Dave) off the sausage rolls, you’ll find Soroya at Pilates, walking the Hakarimata Summit, or slowly sampling her way through every New Zealand gin on the market. She’s also a Crown Lynn enthusiast, always finding creative ways to sneak new pieces into the house.
Whether at work or out of the office, Soroya brings energy, heart, and a bit of fun to everything she does.
Rhys / Bobby
PLUMBER, GASFITTER & DRAINLAYER
Meet Rhys, or as we call him, Bobby - one of King Country’s biggest legends! When he's not spending time with his fiancé and their little one, you'll find him cheering for his beloved Warriors - Up the Wahs!
After lots of hard work, Rhys is in the final stages of his apprenticeship and is putting it to work with team SODA. If you ever need something done faster than a Warriors comeback in the last 10 minutes, just offer him some homemade brownie.
He's all about hard work, family, and having a laugh.
