Written by us, about the streets we work
Ferntree Gully and the suburbs around it sit at the foot of the Dandenongs, leafy, hilly and full of established homes with big gardens. We work right across Ferntree Gully, Boronia, Rowville and Knoxfield, and it's one of our busier patches in the outer east.
Over the last two years we've done more than 230 jobs around Ferntree Gully. The work runs the full range, drains, taps, hot water and leak detection, which fits an area of 1970s and 80s brick homes on sloping, tree-covered blocks.
All those mature trees make drains a real feature here. Roots look for older sewer joints, and in these established, heavily-treed streets they often find them. When we clear a blocked drain around Ferntree Gully we check whether roots are the cause, so the fix actually holds rather than blocking again in a few months.
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.

Real customers from around Ferntree Gully, in their own words
Had a great experience. I sent a quick text explaining my hot water issue, got contacted straight away, an appointment was booked, the job was quoted clearly with options, and everything was installed the same day. Super easy and stress‑free.
We had some tapware installed by Fix It Right a few years ago that started to drip, plumber Josh came out to check it out and replaced the worn out valves for free even though they were technically out of warranty - great service!
Excellent service and professionalism with the job being done. Josh kept me informed during the whole process of clearing a blocked stormwater pipe. The quick turnaround for something that could have cause us a lot of grief was amazing. Would recommend for any work required.
I highly recommend Fix It Right Plumbing. Corey arrived on time as organised, it was a difficult leak to find, Corey had all the right equipment on hand and was very thorough. I have since joined Fix It Right Plumbing as a member and will be recommending them to all of my friends and family. 5 stars.
Fantastic company to deal with, Mitch came out and was very professional, told me the problem with the hot water service and went through the plumbing in the house. Everything was explained and pricing was great. Highly recommend Fix It Right Plumbing.
Thanks Jack for your prompt and thorough service. You went beyond your plumbing duties to fix a problem with my shower sealing. The fixed prices helped. Would recommend your company without hesitation
Many thanks to Josh for coming to our hot water rescue. Our hot water is now working better than it ever has before. Highly recommend Fix It Right Plumbing Melbourne.
We used one of your plumbers last week for a blocked drain and they did an excellent job. My wife was very happy with how professional they were and didnt just do a bandaid fix. She hasnt stopped raving to friends about the great service. Thankyou so much for your help. We will definitely be recommending your company.
Dave is a magician! He fixed our long lasting problem which other plumbers cannot guarantee to fix. And he is extremely efficient. We estimate to fix all our problems would take the whole day while he finished in 3 hours!
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.

Straight answers, no runaround
It's the trees. Ferntree Gully, Boronia and Rowville sit in some of Melbourne's most heavily-treed suburbs, right by the Dandenongs, and roots work their way into older sewer joints. We check whether roots are behind a blockage rather than just clearing it, because around here they very often are.
South East Water covers Ferntree Gully, Boronia, Rowville and Knoxfield. 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.
It can. A lot of homes here are on sloping, hilly blocks, which affects how drains run and where water goes. We know the terrain and sort the plumbing to suit, and we use drain cameras to see exactly what's happening underground before we start.
The outer east is a regular patch, so Ferntree Gully, Boronia, Rowville and Knoxfield are well covered, along with Scoresby, Belgrave, Upwey, Lysterfield and The Basin.
Plenty. Drains are a big part of it, but we do the full range: hot water, taps, toilets, leak detection, burst pipes and gas. Whatever the job, we fix the cause, not just the symptom.
Real prices, in writing, before we touch a thing
$0 call-out. We come out and look things over. If you don't go ahead, you don't pay.
Three repair options. 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.
12 months, no interest, nothing to pay
Get it fixed today, on any job, and make your first payment in a year. It's there because a burst pipe doesn't wait for payday, and neither should the repair.
