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.
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.
"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." — Fix It Right Plumbing Team, Canberra
As a planned city, Canberra's housing stock is predominantly post-1960s, but each decade brought different construction methods and materials that your plumber Higgins needs to understand.
Many original Higgins homes from this era feature galvanised steel water pipes and copper drainage, with concrete slab foundations common across the ACT. Our Higgins plumber team regularly replaces corroded galvanised sections and upgrades to modern PEX systems that handle Canberra's temperature extremes, where winter frosts can cause pipe bursts in exposed or poorly insulated plumbing.
Later development in Higgins introduced copper and early PEX water supply with PVC drainage. These systems are generally reliable, but after 25-40 years our plumber Higgins specialists commonly address joint failures, water heater deterioration, and bathroom renovation requirements.
Newer Higgins properties use PEX-A water systems and HDPE drainage designed for Canberra's climate conditions. Even modern materials require expert plumber installation and maintenance to perform reliably through Canberra's hot summers and cold winters.

Properties in Higgins typically date from the 1970s to 2000s and use copper or early PEX water supply, PVC drainage, and polyethylene stormwater connections. While more durable than older materials, these systems still develop issues after 30-50 years including corroded copper joints, brittle early-generation PEX fittings, and cracked PVC from ground movement. Our Higgins plumber technicians carry replacement fittings for all material generations found across the area.

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.

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 ★★★★★

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 ★★★★★

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 ★★★★★
