25%+of the 63 blocked drains around Frankston involved tree roots

Frankston keeps us busy with general plumbing in and around the home, and we've been doing it here a long time. Richie started Fix-It Right in 2007, working from home just up the road in Seaford.

The tree-root number is the one worth knowing. A drain that blocks again and again is usually a root problem, not a one-off, so we find the cause rather than just clearing it.

In general terms: 1960s-80s brick veneer plus newer estates in Langwarrin; sandy soils near the coast.

Richie Foster, Fix-It Right Plumbing

Plumbers in Frankston, Seaford and Langwarrin

Frankston has been our patch for a long time. We're based just up the road in Carrum Downs, about ten minutes away, so when something goes wrong in Frankston, Seaford or Langwarrin, we're not coming from the other side of town. We're local, and we're there quickly.

Over the last two years we've done more than 400 jobs around Frankston. Most are the everyday things that go wrong in a home: a tap that won't stop dripping, a hot water system that's given up, a toilet that keeps running. But blocked drains are a big part of what we do here, and Frankston has a particular problem with them.

It's tree roots. In about a quarter of the blocked drains we clear around Frankston, roots have worked their way into the pipe. The older sewer and stormwater lines through the established streets have joints that roots find, and once they're in they keep growing until the drain blocks, often again and again. That's why we don't just clear a drain and leave. We find out whether roots are the cause, so you're not calling us back about the same drain in six months.

Whatever the job, from blocked drains and hot water to burst pipes, gas, or general maintenance around the home, we fix the cause, not just the symptom. That's been the Fix-It Right way since Richie started the business from his home in Seaford in 2007.

The same plumber, start to finish

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.

Frankston plumbing questions

Why do drains keep blocking around Frankston?

It's usually tree roots, and Frankston sees more than most. Of the 63 blocked drains we cleared around Frankston in the last two years, roots were in the pipe in about a quarter of them. The older sewer lines through the established Frankston and Seaford streets have joints that roots find, and newer estates out in Langwarrin have their own issues as the trees mature. We check whether roots are the cause rather than just clearing it.

How quickly can you get to a job in Frankston?

We're ten minutes away in Carrum Downs, so Frankston, Seaford and Langwarrin are among the closest areas to our base. Over the last year we've done 225 jobs around Frankston, so there's a good chance one of our plumbers is already working nearby when you call.

My hot water system's died in Frankston, can you replace it the same day?

Usually yes. Hot water is one of our most common Frankston jobs, so we carry the common systems on the vans. If yours can't be repaired we can often have a new one in and running the same day, sized to your household, rather than leaving you cold for a week.

Who looks after the water and sewer in Frankston?

South East Water is the authority for Frankston, Seaford and Langwarrin. If the trouble is at the meter or the sewer connection out at the street, that's their responsibility, and we'll help you sort out what's yours and what's theirs before any work starts.

Do you only do blocked drains in Frankston?

Not at all. Blocked drains are a big part of it, but they're actually only about 18% of our Frankston work. Most of what we do here is the everyday stuff: taps, hot water, toilets, gas and general maintenance around the home.

What every job comes with

  • $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.
