Called them up to clear a blocked drain, after I got their number from a fridge magnet (first time I've ever done that). Came at a good time, and was super quick to fix it up, then walked me through some preventative measures to take, and what I can do if it does block again.

Ryan was down (13/4/24)to fix a plumbing issue of blocked drain (found to be grease). He was efficient and pleasant and sorted the problem quickly using the high pressure hose and then camera to be certain that is was sorted. Recommend this business and Ryan was great in explaining and showing the problem. Would use this business again.

Our drainage problem started on one of the hottest Sundays and we were impressed with the prompt attention we received that day. The job subsequently entailed part replacement of piping to connect to a main drain which the Local Plumber team dealt with in a very expeditious manner. We found them efficient, well equipped and courteous.

Thanks Brayden, Nass and Alex. You guys have done exceptional work to clear my kitchen blockage and cracked sewage pipe.Brandy had very good knowledge - he found the source of the blockage and worked very efficiently to clear it. He also identified a section of cracked sewage pipe due to tree roots.Nass and Alex came the next day to reline the pipe. They were very professional, skilful and friendly. They kept me informed throughout the job, and checked thoroughly afterwards that everything was fixed.I appreciate their hard work and professionalism, and would highly recommend their service to anyone.

Brayden and Shane were professionals with excellent communication skills who worked so hard for us to fix a blockage in a sewer pipe and also diligently found a split pipe elsewhere in the system. Their quick actions and being able to get another team to re align and heal a pipe saved time, money and heartache in the future. Grateful to Brayden for his support on a hot late Saturday night. Very appreciative and recommended if you are after urgent help

Had an emergency sewage problem on a Sunday arvo and Brayden was super quick to come out. With overflow progressively getting worse, it was an absolute life saver to have him there within the hour. Couldn't get the whole job finished in the day, but had the next 2 lots of work immediately booked in. Resolution turn around time was 10/10.Everyone I dealt with in the following days to fix the issue was on-time, supwer nice and really transparent about everything that needed to be done. Brayden in particular went above and beyond a lot of the time and took the time to explain in detail all the things i didn't understand. Even making calls on my behalf when the sewage blockage was not located on my property.These lot are experienced and they can tackle anything that's thrown at them.If you don't know who to call (like me), call these guys!

What Makes Our Tap Repair Services Different?

What are Common Tap Repairs?

Our plumbers will perform any type of tap repair & installation service for our fellow Melbourne locals, but here are the more common ones people will experience with their taps:

Leaking Taps Melbourne

Leaking taps are one of the most common issues and there are many different reasons why the tap may be leaking, here are the main reasons:

Tap washer – the tap washer is the small rubber ring that sits at the end of the water pipe to stop water from flowing when the tap is not in use but if it is corroded then water can leak from the tap
O-ring – this is placed in the tap handles and is there as a waterproof seal but if they come loose or damaged then water can leak from the handle
Cartridge – this part is what controls the temperature and the flow of water so if it becomes damaged then leaks can easily happen from the tap
Valve seat – the valve seat is where the spout connects to the tap and can easily be affected by mineral build up and wear and tear leading to leaks
Loose parts – any loose part in the tap can make it easy for water to travel and leak through
Water pressure – if the water pressure is excessive, such as from cracked internal pipes, then the water cannot properly flow within the tap system causing it to back up and out of the tap
Tap type – some taps are more likely to leak than others so finding the right one is important to prevent this

Our plumbers will find out what is causing the tap to leak using professional leak detection methods and then address the problem using the right tools and techniques to have the job completed on time and effectively.

Noisy Tap Issues

The tap can sometimes make noises that it should not be and this is a sign that there is an issue going on with the tap. There are many ways the tap can be damaged that leads to it making sounds, here are some of the more common causes:

Blocked aerator – if the aerator of the tap is blocked then water cannot easily flow out of the tap making a sound
Faulty tap washer – when the tap washer is damaged or faulty then when water flows from the tap noises can occur
High water pressure – if there is a sound coming from the tap and the water pressure seems higher then this is why the noises are occurring
Blocked tap – if there is a Blocked Drain either in the pipes or tap then when water tries to flow through it it will struggle and make sounds
Older systems – older taps can sometimes create unusual sounds simple due to wear and tear and their age

It is important that the source of the sound from the tap is found to decide on the best tap repairs to perform which is how our plumbers address these issues. To know more about noisy taps, we encourage reading our blog ‘how to fix a noisy tap’ for easy to follow and useful steps!

Water Pressure Problems

Low and high tap water pressure can happen to one of the taps or to numerous of them around the home. Low water pressure with the taps often occurs when the water flow is restricted, often due to a blockage in the pipes or valves. High water pressure mostly happens when there is stress on the taps and pipes while leaks can cause this issue as well.

There are many other reasons for low and high tap water pressure so it is important for our plumbers to know what water pressure imbalances there are, what is causing them to happen and then utilize the best methods to resolve the problem.

Other Common Tap Issues

Here are some other common tap issues people face:

Stiff tap – when the tap handle is stiff and hard to move then this can be from a stuck rubber seal due to it wearing out or from fault tap washers
Brown water – if brown water flows from the tap then this is often due to rust and sediment build up in the pipes
No water – if no water comes out of the pipe suddenly then parts may have broken in the system or the pipes have frozen

How Much Does it Cost for a Tap Repair?

Tap repairs can vary in price but the approximate cost for a minor tap repair is around $60 to $120 and for a major tap repair and installation from $250 to $500. Our plumbers will make sure that no matter if it is a minor or major tap repair to always work with professional tools and techniques and operate swiftly.
