Common Plumbing Problems in Kew
Leaky Pipes?
Many homes in the area have ageing copper pipes that are prone to leaks due to corrosion and worn-out fittings, which can lead to costly repairs.
Blocked Drains?
Kew's established elm and oak trees along streets like Sackville Street and Pakington Street send roots into ageing clay sewer pipes, causing blockages. We use CCTV cameras to locate the intrusion and clear it with high-pressure jet blasting.
Worn-out Fittings?
Older galvanised steel pipes in pre-1970s homes corrode internally, restricting flow. We often recommend repiping with copper or PEX for a permanent fix to ensure reliable water supply.
From Our Plumbers
"On blocked drains in Kew, 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, Melbourne

Real Plumbing Stories from Kew
Tackling Plumbing Issue at a Kew Residence
During a busy Saturday morning, a young family in Kew near Studley Park woke up to find a range of minor plumbing problems that all needed attention at once. 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. The situation was getting worse by the day, and they knew they could not put off calling a professional any longer. The homeowner appreciated that we offered upfront pricing over the phone, so there would be no surprises when the plumber arrived.
“Jason arrived on time to inspect the dripping pipe at hot water system. He was so knowledgeable friendly and thorough, every step was explained and priced before he proceeded. Excellent service and no complaint at all. Would highly recommend Jason's services to anyone!”
— Sam Wong ★★★★★
Our plumber Jason brought his years of experience to bear on this job. After a hands-on inspection, he diagnosed the underlying cause and set about fixing it properly the first time. The work was completed on schedule, and he cleaned up thoroughly before leaving. Sam has since recommended Fix It Right Plumbing to several neighbours.

Same-Day Plumbing for a Kew Customer
Just before dawn on a weekday, a retiree in Kew near Kew Junction came home to find an urgent plumbing situation that required immediate professional help. Properties in Kew often have unique plumbing configurations due to the mix of building eras in the area, and this home was a typical example.
“Dave was amazing! He came to our house for a gas leak issue, however along the way identified storm water issues that we were aware of but unsure how to solve. He ended up coming back the next day and spent the day detecting blockages and leaks, and repairing these. He was extremely friendly and professional. He was transparent and honest with the work that needed to be done and helped us prioritise jobs. We were always made aware of prices before he began the job, which assisted us in knowing what we were in for. Throughout the day, he made sure he made contact with us and would explain what he had done so far and what he was going to work on next. We are very happy with the service provided by Dave! Will definitely be using Fix It Right Plumbing again!”
— Sean Kirby ★★★★★

Trusted Plumbing in the Heart of Kew
After returning home from work one evening, a couple in Kew near Yarra River Boulevard was alarmed to find ongoing plumbing concerns that previous tradespeople had failed to properly resolve.

“The whole process of online enquiry for competitive quotation went smoothly from start to finish. All along, the office customer service girl kept me up to date when the plumber will show up to unblock my kitchen sink piping. I tell you plumbers are so busy with work these days that its hard to locate any. We had the services of plumber Jack to look after me. His quite was reasonable and fair. And he has the right tools for the right job. The pressure hoses and fittings used were top notch. Job done in reasonable time with the pipes cleared of blockage. Jack re tested it at the sink with hot water to ensure the blockage was cleared. Highly recommend Fix It Right as they sure Did It Right! Thanks Jack. Will call you back when the time comes.”

A Kew Homeowner's Plumbing Issue Story
On a quiet Sunday afternoon, an elderly resident in Kew near Studley Park was dealing with a plumbing issue that started small but quickly became a bigger problem. With Kew experiencing significant development over the past decade, many older homes in the area face plumbing challenges as ageing infrastructure meets modern demand. Previous attempts by another tradesperson had not resolved the problem, so they turned to us for a second opinion. A neighbour who had used Fix It Right before recommended us, so they called expecting good service and were not disappointed.
“Chris was punctual, polite and got the job done. He persisted with a stubborn blocked storm water drain which eventually required excavation work. I appreciated that he took the time to explain what he needed to do and showed me the offending piece of damaged, blocked pipe afterwards.”
