Whether you need to service your existing unit or consider a replacement, this practical guide will help you navigate the process and keep your hot water flowing smoothly in the southern eastern suburbs of Melbourne.

We had one of our customers report a blocked sewer pipe, which was located in the back of their commercial property in Bayswater. Overflowing sewer water had created a messy situation!

We were recently called in to a property at Doncaster East, as the owner had noticed overflowing gutters at rear of their residence during heavy rain. This could be attributed to blocked gutters and downpipes.

Our customer from Blackburn noticed water leaking through the plastic moulding of one of their rainwater tanks. Turns out, it had been repaired before, but the issue persisted.

After noticing dirty water backing up with bath, shower and toilet being very slow to drain, our customer suspected a blocked sewer drain at their property. They tried to tackle the plumbing emergency using a plunger in the toilet, and the water level temporarily returned to normal levels.

We were recently contacted a customer at Nunawading, who reported a nagging plumbing issue with the toilet in their Nunawading property. It was quite noisy, even when the cistern filled back up after using. The toilet unit was shifting at the base as well, indicating a potential issue with the P-Trap.

A customer from Blackburn anxiously called the Doherty Plumbing Solutions office recently, reporting a potential water leak near their water meter. They had also noticed higher water bills than usual, and there was pooling of water near the meter.

We received a call from a customer in Blackburn South, who reported low water pressure and no hot water to their household. The Doherty Plumbing Solutions office dispatched Tim and Kallista from our team to attend the property. After investigating, they found that the main water line had been damaged due to garage construction works, leading to loss of pressure to the water flow. Our crew got down to work, replacing the damaged section of the water pipe. Great work team.
