LOCAL PLUMBERS
The trusted local plumber in leafy Blackburn
Blackburn is one of the leafiest pockets of Melbourne’s east — a genuine bush-garden suburb built around the Blackburn Lake Sanctuary, with heritage and mid-century homes tucked among mature native trees, and the village shops by the station at its heart. Doherty has been a trusted local name here for nearly 40 years.
All those established trees are beautiful, but their roots have a habit of finding the old clay sewers under Blackburn’s older homes. Blocked drains are one of the most common jobs we’re called out to across Blackburn, Blackburn North and Blackburn South — we run a CCTV camera to find the exact blockage, clear it with high-pressure jetting, and tell you honestly whether the pipe needs relining or a repair.
The suburb’s older homes also bring the everyday work we know well — hot water repairs and replacements, burst pipes, leaking taps and gas. We’re already one of the most-called plumbers in Blackburn, and we turn up on time with an upfront price. We cover all of Blackburn and its neighbours.

Yes — it’s one of our most common Blackburn jobs. The suburb’s mature native gardens mean tree roots regularly get into the old clay sewers.
