LOCAL PLUMBERS
The plumber Kew's big old homes rely on
Kew is one of Melbourne's grand old inner-eastern suburbs — large Victorian and Edwardian homes on the hills above Studley Park and the Yarra, the busy Kew Junction shops, and the leafy family streets of Kew East. Doherty Plumbing has served the suburb for nearly 40 years.
Big older homes mean a lot of plumbing — multiple bathrooms, long pipe runs and decades-old connections — so when something lets go, it's rarely convenient. Burst pipes, failed hot water and blocked sewers are the calls we get most in Kew, and we're on call 24/7 to stop the damage fast, with an honest arrival time and an upfront price.
These homes are often on ageing hot water systems and original pipework that's due for attention. Whether it's a hot water replacement, a burst pipe, or a hidden leak somewhere in a rambling old house, our licensed local team knows Kew's homes — and we cover Kew and Kew East alike.

Yes. Kew's large older homes are exactly where hidden leaks like to hide — under floors, behind walls or out in the yard. We use leak-detection equipment to trace the source without tearing the house apart, then repair it properly and check nothing else is at risk.
