Richie Foster, Fix-It Right Plumbing

Plumbers in Queanbeyan, Jerrabomberra, Googong and Karabar

Written by us, about the streets we work

Queanbeyan sits just over the border from Canberra in New South Wales, and together with the growing areas around it, Jerrabomberra, Googong and Karabar, it's a steady part of our work. We're across the area regularly.

Over the last two years we've done more than 230 jobs around Queanbeyan. It's a real mix: older established homes in Queanbeyan itself and Karabar, and fast-growing new estates in Jerrabomberra and Googong. That means the full range, from drain and pipe problems in the older streets to more straightforward work in the new builds.

The cold winters this side of the border make hot water a big part of what we do, and we carry systems in the vans so a failed one can usually be sorted fast. When a drain blocks we find out what's actually behind it rather than just clearing it.

That's been the Fix-It Right way since Richie started the business in 2007, and with the amount we work around Queanbeyan, there's a good chance we've got someone nearby.

What actually goes wrong in Queanbeyan homes

Leak detection in Queanbeyan

Older Queanbeyan homes can still have terracotta pipes, and the joints are where they let go. In Crestwood, Josh's leak detection found a crack at a terracotta toilet pipe join where water was slowly seeping out. It was repacked and sealed at that one join, with no digging up the rest of the line.

More on how we find hidden leaks: from a dripping ceiling to a pipe under the slab.

Hot water in Queanbeyan

A hot water unit that's leaking isn't always a unit that needs replacing. In Jerrabomberra, Conrad found a burst copper pipe on the hot water unit, replaced it with a new lagged section, and serviced the kitchen taps on the same visit. You'll know if it needs fixing or replacing before we pick up a tool.

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

Queanbeyan plumbing questions

Straight answers, no runaround

Do you cover Queanbeyan even though it's in NSW?

Yes. Queanbeyan, Jerrabomberra, Googong and Karabar are a regular part of our work, right alongside our Canberra service area. The border doesn't change anything for us.

Who's my water authority in Queanbeyan?

Queanbeyan is in New South Wales, so it's covered by the NSW water authority for the region rather than Icon Water. 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 in a new estate in Jerrabomberra or Googong, do you work on newer homes?

Definitely. These are fast-growing areas, and the new estates mostly throw up hot water systems, taps and the occasional install issue, rather than old-pipe problems. These are often quick to sort.

My hot water's gone in Queanbeyan, can you sort it quickly?

Usually yes, and it matters with the cold winters here. We carry the common hot water systems in 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.

How quickly can you get to Queanbeyan?

Quickly, it's a regular patch. We cover Queanbeyan, Jerrabomberra, Googong and Karabar, plus Tralee, Carwoola, Crestwood, Queanbeyan East, Queanbeyan West and The Ridgeway.
