What local customers say

Real customers from around Croydon, in their own words

Two quite separate leaks in the body corporate pipes, were detected and completely fixed. The first by Ben and the second by Conrad - both lovely guys as well as being good at their jobs. Conrad also did a great job updating some of our internal plumbing. Happy to recommend the company and the individuals.

The same plumber, start to finish

The plumber who comes out and works out what's wrong is the one who fixes it, and they stay 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.

Same face from the first knock to the final test

Richie Foster, Fix-It Right Plumbing

Plumbers in Croydon, Lilydale, Mooroolbark and Kilsyth

Written by us, about the streets we work

Croydon and the suburbs around it sit in Melbourne's leafy outer east, out towards the Yarra Valley, with established homes, big blocks and plenty of trees. We work across Croydon, Lilydale, Mooroolbark and Kilsyth, and it's a regular patch for us.

Over the last two years we've done more than 160 jobs around Croydon. It's a steady spread of drains, taps, hot water and leak detection. A lot of the housing is brick and weatherboard from the 1960s to 80s, on generous, tree-covered blocks.

Those established gardens make drains a real feature. Tree roots find their way into older sewer joints out here, so when we clear a blockage around Croydon we check whether roots are the cause, rather than just clearing it and seeing you again.

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.

What actually goes wrong in Croydon homes

Blocked drains in Croydon

The hills and big trees around Croydon, Lilydale and Mooroolbark are hard on drains. In Mooroolbark, Cailem found a sewer line broken in several places with roots growing through it, dug it up, replaced the broken section and put the lawn back. In Mount Evelyn, Lachie hand-dug a new stormwater line through rock around a gas main.

More on how we clear blocked drains: from a slow sink to a main sewer line.

Croydon plumbing questions

Straight answers, no runaround

Why do drains block around Croydon?

Usually tree roots. Croydon, Lilydale and Mooroolbark are leafy outer-east suburbs with big established gardens and older sewer lines, and roots get into the joints. We check whether roots are behind a blockage rather than just clearing it, so the problem actually stops.

Who's my water authority in Croydon?

Yarra Valley Water covers Croydon, Lilydale, Mooroolbark and Kilsyth. If the issue is at the meter or the sewer connection at the street, that's their responsibility, and we'll help you work out what's yours and what's theirs before any work starts.

I'm out towards Lilydale and the Yarra Valley, do you cover that far?

Yes. The outer east is a regular patch for us, so Lilydale, Mooroolbark and the surrounding areas are well within our range, along with Chirnside Park, Montrose, Mount Evelyn and Wonga Park.

How quickly can you get to Croydon?

The outer east is a regular patch, so Croydon, Lilydale, Mooroolbark and Kilsyth are well covered, along with Croydon North, Croydon Hills and Kilsyth South.

What jobs do you do most around Croydon?

A steady spread of blocked drains, taps, hot water and leak detection, plus toilets, burst pipes and gas. Whatever the job, we fix the cause, not just the symptom.
