Richie Foster, Fix-It Right Plumbing

Plumbers in Mount Eliza and Moorooduc

Mount Eliza is one of the Peninsula's established, leafy suburbs, large homes on big blocks under mature trees, running down to the bay, with the rural wine country of Moorooduc just inland. We work across both Mount Eliza and Moorooduc, and it's one of our busier patches on the Peninsula.

Over the last two years we've done more than 100 jobs around Mount Eliza. The standout call is blocked drains, which fits the area: established homes on large, heavily-treed blocks, where mature gardens and older sewer lines give tree roots a way in. When a drain blocks here, roots are a common cause, so we camera the line and find what's actually behind it rather than just clearing it.

Out in Moorooduc it's more rural, bigger properties, longer drain runs and some homes on tank water or septic, which brings its own considerations. We know the area well and sort the plumbing to suit, whether it's a leafy Mount Eliza block or an acreage property in the hills.

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.

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.

Mount Eliza plumbing questions

Why do drains block so often around Mount Eliza?

Established homes on big, heavily-treed blocks. Mature gardens and older sewer lines give tree roots a way into the joints, and roots are behind a good share of the blocked drains we clear here. We camera the line and find the cause rather than just clearing it, so it stays sorted.

Do you cover Moorooduc and the rural blocks?

Yes. Moorooduc and the surrounding rural properties are part of our Mount Eliza service area. Bigger blocks can mean longer drain runs, tank water or septic, and we know the area well enough to sort them properly.

Who's my water authority in Mount Eliza?

South East Water covers Mount Eliza and Moorooduc. 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.

My Mount Eliza home is on a big established block, does that affect the plumbing?

It can. Large blocks with mature trees and older sewer lines are more prone to root-blocked drains, and longer runs can hide a leak. We use drain cameras and leak detection to find exactly what's going on before we start.

How quickly can you get to Mount Eliza?

The Peninsula is a regular patch, so Mount Eliza and Moorooduc are well covered, along with Mornington, Frankston and the rest of the Peninsula.
