Richie Foster, Fix-It Right Plumbing

Plumbers in Dromana, Safety Beach, McCrae and Red Hill

This stretch of the Mornington Peninsula is two worlds in one, the bayside beach towns of Dromana, Safety Beach and McCrae along the water, and the green wine-country hills of Red Hill just behind. We work across all of it, and the mix keeps the work varied.

Over the last two years we've done more than 40 jobs around Dromana. It's a spread of blocked drains, hot water, taps and toilets. Along the bay it's a mix of holiday homes and permanent residences on sandy coastal ground, while up in the Red Hill hinterland the blocks are bigger and more rural.

The coastal conditions down by the water are harder on plumbing over time, and holiday homes that sit empty can develop problems that go unnoticed. Up in the hills, larger blocks bring their own considerations. Wherever you are, we find the actual cause rather than just patching it.

Whatever the job, from a blocked drain to a hot water system or a hidden leak, we fix the cause, not just the symptom. That's been the Fix-It Right way since Richie started the business in 2007.

Dromana plumbing questions

Do you look after holiday homes around Dromana and Safety Beach?

Yes, plenty of them. The bayside towns have a lot of holiday houses that sit empty between visits, and small problems can go unnoticed until someone's back. We can check a place over, sort anything that's come up, and keep an eye on the plumbing between stays.

Do you cover the Red Hill hinterland too?

Yes. Red Hill and the surrounding hills are part of our Peninsula service area, with their larger, more rural blocks. We know the area and sort the plumbing to suit, whether it's a bayside home or a property up in the hills.

Who's my water authority in Dromana?

South East Water covers Dromana, Safety Beach, McCrae and Red Hill. 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.

Does the coastal location affect my plumbing?

It can. Salt air and sandy soils down by the bay are harder on pipework and fittings over time, so it's worth staying on top of small issues. We know the coast and sort things to suit.

How quickly can you get to Dromana?

The Peninsula is a regular patch, so Dromana, Safety Beach, McCrae and Red Hill are well covered, along with Red Hill South and Main Ridge.

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.
