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!

Water meters measure how much water is regularly consumed within a household or commercial property. This equipment, found in residential and commercial properties, is expected to accurately determine the amount to be charged for water consumption. Given the vital role of water meters, it is a must to have them regularly maintained and installed correctly.. Routine visits by a skilled plumber ensure that property owners will only ever pay for the water they use, ultimately reducing your family’s water bills. It also helps save money from unexpected repairs and replacements.

What Makes Our Water Meter Services Different?

Importance of Water Meter Servicing

Water meter servicing sees our plumbers ensuring that the device is not suffering from issues interfering with its performance. Given that accurate reading is important for both water utility and consumption, it needs to be at its optimal state at all times. An accurate reading of the amount of water consumed in the property is the goal of water meter servicing. At The Local Plumber, we ensure that no issue affects the meter and it is not at any risk of malfunctioning.

Common Water Meter Issues

Water meters are expected to serve properties across Melbourne for several years. With the number of years in service, it is not surprising that age will affect its performance. Various problems may impact its performance while measuring the amount of water used in a property. The following are common issues impacting water meters:

Airflow – Air that passes through the water meter is counted as consumed water. Due to the inability of the equipment to distinguish between air and water, the air being present in the water meter will mean a higher water bill.
Age – An aging water meter will cause more problems than cost savings. Inaccurate reading is a common issue affecting aging equipment. It means a reading that could be lower or higher than the actual amount of water consumed.

Aside from inaccurate reading, there are other problems that could interfere with water meters. Leaks, water pressure issues and faults in the system are common problems affecting a water system. Water meter servicing is also the solution to reduce the rate of these issues impacting the equipment’s ability to measure water. With regular visits from a qualified emergency plumber, a skilled plumber can identify which issue is present or whether there is a chance for any component to cause a problem in the future. Regular maintenance helps prevent complex and costly troubles. Residential and commercial property owners who opt for routine visits from their trusted plumber can rest easy that their water meter is not impacted by any issue.

Water Meter Servicing Costs

Water issues directly impact the property owner and those using the property. By not being aware of the problem, they could experience water interruptions and could pay a higher water bill. But who should be paying for water meter servicing? There is some degree of complexity to determine who is responsible for maintaining and repairing parts of a water system. The following is a breakdown of who is responsible for water meter maintenance and repair:

Water utility – When there is an issue with the water meter itself, property owners should immediately reach out to their provider. Water meters are owned by the water utility so repair should be at their expense and their responsibility.

Property owner – The property owner is responsible for calling a licensed plumber into the property. He is in charge of taking care of components of the water system between the main water source and the building, including water pipes and fittings. There are also instances where having our plumbers over can prevent consequences associated with a defective water meter. Given that there is a chance that a water utility might take days to come over, our same-day service guarantee ensures that there is a properly working water meter at home or in the commercial space at all times.

Tenants – The responsibility for water meter maintenance even becomes more complex when there exists a landowner-tenant relationship. We recommend that for Tenants in Victoria you quickly contact your landlord once any components of the water system start acting up. In cases where they paid for water meter servicing or repair, they are entitled to reimbursement under state law.

Water Meter Installation

With the demand for accuracy, water meters are expected to provide a 100% faultless measurement at all times. At The Local Plumber, we have a team of the most experienced plumbers in Melbourne. All have met the requirements set by the Victorian Building Authority (VBA) as our plumbers have undergone the Certificate III in Plumbing course and the four years of apprenticeship required before receiving a plumbing licence in Victoria.

By meeting these requirements, we assure our clients that they are only getting the highest standard of plumbing work from our team at all times through our installation services. We can install any water meter for any residential or commercial property, get the necessary approvals as well as provide the proper guidance to ensure it is always working in an optimal state, free from any defects.
