Common questions
Have another question? Call 0448 984 771 – we’re happy to help.
How soon can you get to Footscray?
We offer same-day service in Footscray, subject to availability. Call us, explain the problem and we’ll confirm our earliest available time. For urgent plumbing issues, we’re available 24/7, including public holidays.
How much does a plumber cost in Footscray?
The cost depends on the problem, access to the pipework and the parts required. We assess the job and give you a price to approve before work begins. Our business-hours call-out fee is $50, which is waived if you proceed with the work.
Why is the pressure low in my shower but fine everywhere else?
If the problem only affects your shower, there may be a restriction in the showerhead, mixer or valves supplying it. We can check the cause and explain whether cleaning, a repair or replacement is needed.
Do you replace hot water systems in Footscray?
Yes. We replace hot water systems from major brands, including Rinnai, Rheem, Thermann, Aquamax, Chromagen and Stiebel Eltron. We’ll assess your existing setup, discuss suitable options for your household and provide a price before installation.
Why is my water brown when I first turn the tap on?
Discoloured water can come from ageing pipework, your hot water system or a disturbance in the water supply. Let us know whether it affects the hot water, cold water or both, and whether it happens at one tap or throughout the property. We can investigate plumbing issues within your property and advise on the next steps.
Can you clear a blocked drain in Footscray?
Yes. We investigate and clear blocked sinks, showers, toilets and outside drains. If a blockage keeps returning, we may recommend a CCTV drain inspection to check for an underlying problem. If further repairs are needed, we’ll explain what we’ve found and provide a price before proceeding.
Can you fix a running toilet in my unit?
Yes. We can assess the cistern and repair or replace faulty components. If you rent, contact your property manager to arrange the repair. If you own the unit and the repair needs access to shared plumbing, check with your owners corporation before booking.
