Overgrown Bushfire Pruning Needles?
The established trees in this suburb cause severe wear on terracotta stormwater pipes. Regular inspections help identify issues early on, reducing the risk of tree branch breakage and subsequent damag potential issues before they become costly repairs.
Burst Water Tanks?
Older galvanised steel water tanks in pre-1960s homes corrode internally, restricting water supply. We often recommend repiping with copper or PEX for a permanent fix, ensuring reliable access to clea.
From Our Plumbers
"On blocked drains in Higgins, we typically find tree root intrusion due to older clay pipes in the area. Our CCTV drain camera usually pinpoints the exact location quickly, so our plumbers can give you an accurate quote before starting any work."

Real Plumbing Stories from Higgins
Tackling Plumbing Issue at a Higgins Residence
Late on a Tuesday evening, a couple in Higgins was alarmed to find the need for a reliable plumber to handle multiple jobs in a single visit. As Higgins homeowners know, the local housing stock comes with its own set of plumbing quirks, and this property was no exception. They were relieved to speak with a real person at our Melbourne office who understood the urgency and booked a plumber straight away.
“I am pleased to leave this review to report I was extremely satisfied with using this company. Jack arrived and had a very professional attitude. He checked everything first then gave me a quote. Jack worked non stop to replace shower head, taps and Tempering valve on hot water system. Taps were corroded as they were very old. I would definitely use the company again and I would be happy to recommend them. Well done Jack and thank you.”
— Margaret Ellens ★★★★★
We prioritised this callout and had a licensed plumber on-site promptly. They conducted a detailed assessment, explained the findings honestly, and provided a fixed-price quote with no obligation. Once given the go-ahead, the repair was carried out swiftly and to a high standard. Margaret said the whole experience, from the initial phone call to the finished job, was seamless. Before leaving, they walked the homeowner through what had been done and what to watch for going forward. The customer was given a detailed invoice with a clear breakdown of costs, exactly as quoted, and our contact details for any follow-up questions.
Same-Day Plumbing for a Higgins Customer
On a cold winter night, an elderly resident in Higgins was dealing with a plumbing emergency that left them scrambling for a trustworthy tradesperson. The home had been in the family for years, and while they had kept up with general maintenance, the plumbing was one area that had been neglected. After explaining the situation over the phone, our customer service team arranged for a licensed plumber to attend within the hour.
“Great service - friendly and efficient office staff, confirmed start time and Jason arrived on time. Identified source of leaking pipe and provided a cost effective solution to fix it after discussing alternatives. Jason worked hard and non stop to ensure job was finished in the one day. Cleaned up and made garden good where trench was dug. Excellent service and would not hesitate to recommend Fix It Right Plumbing. Total Care membership is a good deal.”
— Mark Thomas ★★★★★
Our licensed plumber arrived promptly and carried out a thorough inspection of the plumbing infrastructure. After diagnosing the root cause, they explained the options clearly and provided an upfront quote before starting any work. The repair was completed efficiently, and the plumbing infrastructure was left clean and fully functional. Mark was impressed by the professionalism and attention to detail throughout the entire visit. As part of our standard process, they also carried out a complimentary check of the surrounding plumbing infrastructure to make sure there were no other issues waiting to surface. Everything checked out, and the homeowner was left with a fully functioning system and complete peace of mind.
Trusted Plumbing in the Heart of Higgins
During a busy Saturday morning, a property investor in Higgins noticed a long-overdue plumbing inspection that uncovered several issues needing repair. Properties in Higgins often have unique plumbing configurations due to the mix of building eras in the area, and this home was a typical example.
“Moved into new home with water drainage issues on property as there are no storm drainage pipes in the area.
Fix it Right plumbing came to assess the sewerage and plumbing works and raised issues on various plumbing works and recommended fixes to these. Work started immediately. Jack from the company painstakingly did all the cautious digging and installation of the drainage pipes, spoon drainage etc. He also installed stormwater drains to prevent water clogging up on land around the house. Also did a good job on instal of kitchen mixer in a tight situation and instal of pressure regulator. Jack also ran pipes around to instal tap at deck at rear of house and to help run water off the water tanks in case of overflow. Jack was very easy going and also helped with issues around the house that were not part of the job. He has done a fantastic job and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jack and Fix-It-Right Plumbing to anyone. Thank you Jack.”
— Martin Koh ★★★★★
A plumber from our team was on-site within the hour. After a careful assessment, they identified the issue and walked the homeowner through the recommended solution. With approval to proceed, the work was completed the same day, with all materials and labour covered by our workmanship guarantee. The homeowner was relieved to have the problem resolved so quickly.
A Higgins Homeowner's Plumbing Issue Story
Just before dawn on a weekday, a long-time resident in Higgins discovered several plumbing issues around the house that had been building up over time. The homeowner had only recently moved to Higgins and was still learning about the property's systems when the issue presented itself. After reading our reviews online, they felt confident calling Fix It Right Plumbing for a professional assessment. Our office team talked them through some interim steps to manage the situation while the plumber was on the way.
“The call centre responded very well with my initial call. Her guidance was nice and clear. Then Hector came today on time and fixed the sewer blockage with hard work. He is approachable, understanding and trustworthy. Clear price indication before the job with no call-out fee nor hourly-charge – Highly recommend Fix-It-Right Plumbing.”
— Matt ★★★★★
Fix It Right Plumbing dispatched to the property without delay. Using a combination of visual inspection and pressure testing, they pinpointed the problem and got to work straight away. The job was finished within a few hours, and they made sure to test everything thoroughly before packing up. Matt appreciated the honest pricing and the fact that there were no surprises on the final invoice. They also took a few minutes to explain some simple preventative measures the homeowner could take to reduce the chance of the same problem happening again. It is this kind of genuine care and attention that sets Fix It Right apart from other plumbing companies.
