Common Plumbing Problems in Coburg
Burst Pipes?
Many homes in the area have ageing galvanised steel pipes which are prone to corrosion. This can lead to sudden and unexpected burst pipes, often causing significant water damage.
Blocked Drains?
Coburg's established street trees along roads like Sydney Road and Nicholson Street send roots into ageing clay sewer pipes, causing frequent blockages. We use CCTV cameras to locate the intrusion and clear it with high-pressure jet blasting.
Faulty Fittings?
Older homes in the area may have traditional cast iron pipes and fittings that are prone to wear and tear. Incorrect fitting techniques over time can lead to leaks and other plumbing issues.
From Our Plumbers
"For hot water issues in Coburg, we carry common replacement parts in our vans. About 70% of hot water problems we see are thermostat or element failures, which our plumbers can often fix same-day without needing a full system replacement."
