Richie Foster, Fix-It Right Plumbing

Plumbers in Camberwell, Glen Iris, Surrey Hills, Burwood and Ashburton

Camberwell and the suburbs around it are established, leafy and full of older homes, the kind of area where plumbing problems tend to come from age rather than anything going badly wrong. We work across Camberwell, Glen Iris, Surrey Hills, Burwood and Ashburton, and we know the housing stock well.

Over the last two years we've done more than 80 jobs around Camberwell. Blocked drains and tap repairs are the most common, with leak detection close behind, which fits an area of Federation and period homes on big blocks with plenty of mature trees.

Those mature trees are worth knowing about when it comes to drains. Roots look for older sewer joints, and in an established area like Camberwell they often find them. When we clear a blocked drain here we check whether roots are the cause, so the fix actually holds.

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.

Camberwell plumbing questions

Why do established areas like Camberwell get blocked drains?

It's usually the trees. Camberwell, Glen Iris and Surrey Hills have a lot of mature gardens and older sewer lines, and roots work their way into the pipe joints over time. We check whether roots are behind a blockage rather than just clearing it, because in these older streets they often are, and clearing without fixing the cause just means it blocks again.

Who's my water authority in Camberwell?

Yarra Valley Water covers most of Camberwell and the surrounding suburbs. If your problem is at the meter or the sewer connection out at the street, that's their side, and we'll help you sort out what's yours and what's theirs before any work starts.

My home in Camberwell is old, is my pipework a problem?

Not necessarily, but it's worth knowing older pipes behave differently. A lot of Camberwell and Glen Iris homes date from the early last century, and the original pipework can be prone to leaks and root intrusion. We use leak detection to find exactly where a problem is before we touch anything, which matters more in an older home where you don't want unnecessary digging.

How quickly can you get to Camberwell?

We work across the inner east regularly, so Camberwell, Glen Iris, Surrey Hills, Burwood and Ashburton are well within our patch, along with Canterbury, Burwood East and Auburn.

What jobs do you do most in Camberwell?

Blocked drains, tap repairs and leak detection are the big three here, but we do the lot: toilets, hot water, burst pipes, gas and general maintenance around the home. Whatever the job, we fix the cause, not just the symptom.

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.
