Richie Foster, Fix-It Right Plumbing

Plumbers in Ringwood, Bayswater, Wantirna and Heathmont

Written by us, about the streets we work

Ringwood and the suburbs around it sit in Melbourne's leafy outer east, hilly, established and full of mature gardens. We work across Ringwood, Bayswater, Wantirna and Heathmont, and the terrain and tree cover here really shape the kind of jobs we see.

Over the last two years we've done more than 150 jobs around Ringwood. Taps and blocked drains are equally the most common, with leak detection behind. A lot of the homes are brick from the 1960s and 70s, on sloping blocks with clay soils and plenty of trees.

Those trees and older pipes make drains a real feature. More than a quarter of the blocked drains we clear around Ringwood have tree roots in them, and we see a good number of older clay pipes too, which roots get into easily. We find out whether roots or old pipework are behind a blockage, so we fix the actual cause.

Whatever the job, from a blocked drain to a hidden leak or a hot water system, we fix the cause, not just the symptom. That's been the Fix-It Right way since Richie started the business in 2007.

What actually goes wrong in Ringwood homes

Blocked drains in Ringwood

Around Ringwood and Bayswater, more than a quarter of the blocked drains we clear have tree roots in them, and older clay pipes show up more here than most places we work. Not every blockage is roots though. In Ringwood North, we found grease and a section of pipe that had started falling the wrong way, and replaced it so it drains properly again.

More on how we clear blocked drains: from a slow sink to a main sewer line.

The same plumber, start to finish

The plumber who comes out and works out what's wrong is the one who fixes it, and they stay with your job from start to finish until it's done properly, top to bottom. We don't send one person to look and another to do the work, and we never pull your plumber off your job to chase the next call. Not many plumbing companies anywhere are that strict about it, and it's why the job gets done right the first time.

Same face from the first knock to the final test

Ringwood plumbing questions

Straight answers, no runaround

Why do drains block so often around Ringwood?

It's the trees and the pipes together. More than a quarter of the blocked drains we clear in Ringwood and Heathmont have roots in them, and some of the older homes still have clay pipes that roots crack and get into. We check what's actually behind a blockage, because in these hilly, leafy streets it's often the pipe itself.

I think I've got clay pipes in Ringwood, what can be done?

It's common in the area's 1960s-70s homes. Clay pipes crack with age and ground movement, and roots follow. We can camera the drain to see its condition, and where it's damaged, relining can often repair it from the inside without digging up a sloping garden. We'll show you what we find first.

Who's my water authority in Ringwood?

Yarra Valley Water covers most of Ringwood and Heathmont, while Bayswater and Wantirna are South East Water. Either way, if the issue's at the meter or the street connection that's their responsibility, and we'll help you sort out what's yours and what's theirs.

How quickly can you get to Ringwood?

The outer east is a regular patch, so Ringwood, Bayswater, Wantirna and Heathmont are well covered, along with Wantirna South, Ringwood East, Ringwood North and Croydon South.

Do you do more than drains in Ringwood?

Plenty. Taps and drains are equally common, but we do the full range: leak detection, toilets, hot water, burst pipes and gas. Whatever the job, we fix the cause, not just the symptom.
