Richie Foster, Fix-It Right Plumbing

Plumbers in Pakenham and Officer

Pakenham and neighbouring Officer sit at the fast-growing south-eastern edge of Melbourne, where new estates are going up at pace alongside the established Pakenham town. We work across both, and it's an area we're doing more and more in.

We've done more than 120 jobs around Pakenham in the last two years, and most of that has been in the last twelve months alone, which tells you how fast the area is growing. The work is largely newer-home jobs: hot water systems, taps and the occasional issue left over from the original build, with drain and pipe work in the older parts of Pakenham.

Because so much of the housing is new, a lot of what we do here is quick to sort. When something comes up we find the actual cause rather than just patching it, and we're out this way regularly as the area keeps growing.

Whatever the job, from hot water to a blocked drain or a burst pipe, 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.

Pakenham plumbing questions

Do you cover Pakenham and Officer?

Yes, and increasingly so. These are among Melbourne's fastest-growing areas, and we've done most of our Pakenham work in just the last year. We cover Pakenham and Officer across both the new estates and the older town.

I'm in a new Officer or Pakenham estate, what usually goes wrong?

In the newer estates it's mostly hot water systems, taps and the occasional thing left over from the original build, rather than old-pipe problems. These are often quick to sort.

Who's my water authority in Pakenham?

South East Water covers Pakenham and Officer. 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 hot water's gone in Pakenham, can you sort it quickly?

Usually yes. We carry the common hot water systems on the vans, so if yours can't be repaired we can often have a new one in and running the same day, sized to your household, rather than leaving you without.

How quickly can you get to Pakenham?

The south-east growth corridor is a regular patch, so Pakenham and Officer are well covered, and we're out this way more and more as the area grows.

What every job comes with

  • $0 call-out. We come out and look things over. If you don't go ahead, you don't pay.

  • Three written quotes. The first gets you out of trouble, the last takes care of everything the whole-home check found, and there's one in between. All of them are proper fixes.

  • Fixed For Good. Done properly the first time, triple tested before we leave, and backed by a 10-year workmanship warranty.
