That gurgling, that smell, that slightly-too-slow sink — those are early warning signs worth paying attention to before things get worse.
Recurring blockages usually mean something structural is going on. We'll find it, show you the footage, and talk through a permanent fix.

We fully inspect the inside of your Melbourne, Geelong, Canberra or Ballarat drains with our CCTV cameras to find out exactly why your drain blocked up. By finding the root cause, we make sure it does not happen again.
We test and check all of your Melbourne, Geelong, Canberra or Ballarat drains with CCTV cameras before we start work and after we’re finished to ensure that our blocked drain service has worked.
Leaking taps can occur in kitchens, bathrooms, laundries, outdoor areas, and throughout the home.
At Fix It Right Plumbing, we repair and replace a wide range of tapware and plumbing fixtures, including:
Our experienced plumbers assess the overall condition of the tap and plumbing system before recommending the most suitable repair or replacement option.
Dripping taps are often caused by gradual wear and tear inside the tap assembly over time.
Some of the most common causes include:
Washers, cartridges, and valves naturally wear down with regular use and can eventually allow water to pass through even when the tap is turned off.
Turning taps off too tightly can place excessive pressure on internal components and tap seats, causing them to wear out more quickly.
Lower-quality taps and internal components may deteriorate faster and become more prone to leaks and mechanical failure.
In many cases, the underlying problem is a damaged valve seat inside the tap body.
Repairing a damaged valve seat often requires careful reseating to ensure the surface is properly restored.
While DIY reseating kits are available, incorrect installation or poor cleaning of the seat area before fitting the reseat kit can prevent the repair from sealing correctly.
Excessive water pressure can place additional strain on taps, washers, and plumbing fixtures, accelerating wear over time.

Many homeowners attempt to repair dripping taps themselves by replacing washers or cartridges, only to find the leak returns shortly afterwards.
This often occurs because the visible component is not the only issue.
Common reasons DIY tap repairs fail include:
Professional inspection can help identify the full cause of the leak and reduce the likelihood of recurring problems.
Even a slow dripping tap can waste a surprising amount of water over time.
Ongoing leaks not only increase water bills but can also contribute to unnecessary wear on plumbing fixtures and surrounding surfaces.
Addressing dripping taps early can help minimise water wastage while preventing further damage to the tap assembly.
Not every leaking tap requires complete replacement.
In many cases, professional repairs can restore proper operation and extend the life of the tap.
However, replacement may be the better option when:
Our plumbers can assess the condition of your tapware and recommend the most practical long-term solution for your home.
Regular plumbing maintenance and correct tap usage can help reduce wear and extend the lifespan of your tapware.

FAQ
Got questions? We've got answers. Find quick information about our services below.
At Fix-It Right Plumbing, we have invested in the training and equipment necessary to specialize in unblocking drains. Our Melbourne, Geelong, Canberra and Ballarat plumbers will do a very thorough analysis of your whole drain system and ask you questions to get as much information from you as possible before they recommend a procedure to unblock your drain.
More than a decade ago, the only real tool for cleaning drains was a cable drain machine (electric drain eel). They were a robust, relatively inexpensive, and reliable go-to tool for clearing and removing blockages from domestic and commercial drains. Although lots of plumbers these days still use them, water jet machines are increasing in popularity due to the ease of use and versatility but there are other reason to use a jet machine that few plumbers know about.
1. They are less likely to get jammed and stuck.
Your plumber should do a very thorough analysis of your whole drain system and ask you lots of questions to get as much information from you as possible before they recommend what they will do.
Because we charge by the job and not by the hour, you know exactly how much your clogged drain job will cost before we start. So you can sit back and relax while we take care of your drain problem, knowing there will be no nasty surprises at the end.
