Plumbing advice worth reading before you need it
Most of the expensive plumbing problems we attend were preventable, or at least far cheaper to deal with earlier. These articles are the things we find ourselves explaining on site every week: where your shut-off valves are and how to use them, what actually blocks drains, how to tell whether a hot water system is worth repairing, and how to spot a hidden leak before it shows up on your bill.
Everything here is written by the plumbers doing the work, for Melbourne conditions and Melbourne housing, from inner-city terraces with original clay drainage through to new estate homes on reactive clay soils. Where a job is genuinely a do-it-yourself one, we say so. Where it needs a licensed plumber by law, such as gas work, drainage and hot water installations, we say that too.
If something here matches what is happening at your place and you would rather just have it sorted, call 0423 345 575 for an upfront quote. We answer 24 hours a day for emergencies.
