Richie Foster, Fix-It Right Plumbing

Plumbers in Caulfield, Carnegie and Glen Huntly

Written by us, about the streets we work

Caulfield and the suburbs around it are established, leafy areas in Melbourne's inner south-east, a mix of grand period homes, older flats and busy shopping strips. We work across Caulfield, Carnegie and Glen Huntly, and we know the area well.

Over the last two years we've done more than 130 jobs around Caulfield. It's a steady spread of blocked drains, taps, hot water and leak detection. The housing runs from Victorian and Edwardian homes on tree-lined streets through to the older walk-up flats, which throws up a bit of everything.

Those mature street trees and older sewer lines make drains a regular feature. Roots work their way into the joints over time, so when we clear a blockage around Caulfield we check whether roots are the cause, rather than just clearing it and seeing you again.

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.

Attentive customer service over the phone. The Plumber Lachlan identified multiple other problems and fixed them on the spot, never mind the complexity. I can now shower in peace and serenity.
Rhys McKenzie
Riley was fantastic he helped fix my leak, as well as doing a general health check. Highly recommend!
Ethan Fichman
Amazing service, well priced and easy process. Ben helped us with a dripping tap, he was professional and gave us all the options available. His service was quick and even gave us some feedback after finalising the job and did it all with a smile. Would recommend to everyone
Jani Kruger
Excellent and fast service. Had Anthony out when our hot water heater suddenly stopped working. Had a new one installed the same day with a new Mildred valve to protect our cabinets and floors as our hot water heater is indoors! Anthony was very knowledgeable, polite, and communicative through the whole process :)
Mae McIntosh
I can highly recommend Fix it Right Plumbing. Jack was highly professional, precise and clear in explaining the problem, reassuring about ability to repair the leak and worked fast and steady until the job was completed on the same day. Was very impressed and will definitely use this company and Jack again!
lily shatkhin
Jack was lovely to deal with and we are very pleased with the excellent service he provided. Prompt, punctual, problem solved. Excellent customer service too.
Marissa Skovron
Michael took excellent care of me when it came time to install a new water heater. There were limited options and spaces to place a new one but he made it work! So happy with my much improved water temperature and pressure. Very lovely and helpful! Would recommended to anyone who needed plumbing services!

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

Caulfield plumbing questions

Straight answers, no runaround

Why do drains block around Caulfield?

Usually tree roots. Caulfield, Carnegie and Glen Huntly have mature street trees and older sewer lines, and roots find their way into the joints. We check whether roots are behind a blockage rather than just clearing it, so the problem actually stops.

Do you work on older flats and apartments around Caulfield?

Yes, plenty. The area has a lot of older walk-up flats and newer apartments, which come with their own plumbing and shared systems. We're used to working in them and sorting the problems that come up.

Who's my water authority in Caulfield?

South East Water covers Caulfield, Carnegie and Glen Huntly. If the issue is at the meter or the sewer connection at the street, that's their responsibility, and we'll help you work out what's yours and what's theirs before any work starts.

How quickly can you get to Caulfield?

The inner south-east is a regular patch, so Caulfield, Carnegie and Glen Huntly are well covered, along with Caulfield South, Hughesdale, Caulfield North and Murrumbeena.

What jobs do you do most around Caulfield?

A steady spread of blocked drains, taps, hot water and leak detection, plus toilets, burst pipes and gas. Whatever the job, we fix the cause, not just the symptom.
