14blocked drains around Richmond
In general terms: Victorian terraces and workers cottages, old sewers; plus new apartments.
Water authority: Greater Western Water · Council: Yarra
Richmond and the inner-city suburbs around it are dense, historic and always busy, a mix of old terraces, converted warehouses and new apartments. We work across Richmond, Abbotsford, Cremorne and Fitzroy, and inner-city plumbing has its own character.
Over the last two years we've done around 100 jobs in the Richmond area. Blocked drains are the most common, which fits tightly-packed older housing with original pipework and not much room to work. The terraces here are among Melbourne's oldest, many Victorian-era.
In old inner-city streets, a blocked drain is often about the age and condition of the pipes as much as anything else, roots get into aging joints, and decades of use take their toll. We find out what's actually causing a blockage rather than just clearing it, which matters most where the pipework is this old.
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.

Highly recommend Fix It Right Plumbing, customer service team were incredibly helpful, explained all the relevant details. The tradesperson Harry was very friendly, efficient, knowledgeable and professional, explaining the process and cost prior to commencing. Harry completed the work to my complete satisfaction.
Plumber Thane went above and beyond to help solve the issues with the toilets , he found what was causing the issue and provided many different solutions. Ultimately he was efficient and very capable and lovely. Thanks Thane!
Thank you again for a wonderful, seamless, professional and helpful service. My problems were fixed quickly and properly. Thane communicated clearly and comprehensively about all aspects. I thoroughly recommend all involved
FixitRight were highly responsive to my emails. Nathan rang to let us know his arrival time, he spoke with me a number of times during the job and he was highly professional. He replaced bathroom taps that had been leaking for years and provided information about future work we’d like done. I highly recommend this company.
Despite being a Demon supporter, Mick was a good guy and a great plumber. (Could have been worse, could have been Collingwood.) Very happy with the service, professionalism and results. Go Eagles!!
I had a problem with a leaking kitchen sink and Michael sorted it out quickly and efficiently. On time, friendly and professional. Will definitely be calling Fix It Right Plumbing for any plumbing needs in the future.
The plumber who comes out and works out what's wrong is the one who fixes it, and he stays 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.

View Cailem’s profileCailem was an experienced plumber and efficient and friendly and I was more than satisfied with the excellent work he did.
It's worth understanding rather than worrying about. Many Richmond and Fitzroy terraces are Victorian-era with original or patched-up pipework, which can be prone to leaks and blockages. We use leak detection and drain cameras to see exactly what's going on before we start, so there's no unnecessary digging in a tight inner-city block.
In old inner-city streets it's usually the age of the pipes, roots getting into aging joints, and years of use. We camera the drain and find out what's actually behind a blockage, so we fix the real problem rather than just clearing it.
Greater Western Water covers Richmond, Abbotsford, Cremorne and Fitzroy. If the issue is at the meter or the street connection, that's their responsibility, and we'll help you work out what's yours and what's theirs.
The inner city is a regular patch, so Richmond, Abbotsford, Cremorne and Fitzroy are well covered, along with Collingwood and Fitzroy North.
Yes, plenty. The area has a lot of apartments and warehouse conversions with their own plumbing quirks and shared systems. We're used to working in them and sorting the problems that come up.
$0 call-out. We come out and look things over. If you don't go ahead, you don't pay.
Three written quotes. The first gets you out of trouble, the last takes care of everything the whole-home check found, and there's one in between. All of them are proper fixes.
Fixed For Good. Done properly the first time, triple tested before we leave, and backed by a 10-year workmanship warranty.
12 months, no interest, nothing to pay
Get it fixed today, on any job, and make your first payment in a year. It's there because a burst pipe doesn't wait for payday, and neither should the repair.
