LOCAL PLUMBERS
Burwood is home — not a callout zone
We’re not a city plumber who drives out to Burwood when there’s a job — Burwood is home. Our workshop is on Huntingdale Road, so when something goes wrong in your kitchen, bathroom or backyard, there’s a local team just minutes away.
Burwood is a suburb of two halves when it comes to plumbing. The established post-war brick-veneer homes and Californian bungalows — many around Deakin University and the Wattle Park end — often have original clay sewer lines that tree roots love, which is why blocked drains are one of the most common calls we get here. The newer townhouses and apartments along the Burwood Highway corridor bring their own jobs: hot water units, mixer taps and connections that need a licensed hand.
Whether you own one of those character homes, manage a rental near the Deakin campus, or run a business along Burwood Highway, we know the local housing stock and the quirks that come with it — and we’ll give you honest advice on what actually needs doing.

RECENT WORK
Recent work in Burwood
Here’s a sample of recent plumbing work we’ve completed for Burwood homes and businesses.
Partial roof replacement — commercial property
We replaced deteriorated roofing sections at a local commercial property in Burwood, restoring proper drainage and weather protection.
Shared water line leak
A leak ran along a shared supply line between two units. Rather than a major dig-up, George rerouted the supply over the garage roof to the rear unit — a cost-effective fix with minimal disruption.
Rainwater tank pump replacement
We replaced a faulty rainwater tank pump feeding a garden tap, fitting a weather cover to keep the new pump and outdoor supply reliable.
Sewer capping — BPC compliant
We safely capped and sealed a redundant sewer line to Building and Plumbing Commission (BPC) standards, preventing odours, blockages and future wastewater issues.
Stormwater drainage repairs
We repaired stormwater drainage to stop water building up in heavy rain, protecting the property and its neighbours from flooding.
Hot water system replacement
We removed an old hot water unit and installed a new, efficient system the same day, with every connection tested and compliant.
