Frequently Asked Questions
On a block with fall it is normally roof water with nowhere deliberate to go, or a stormwater line that stops short of the discharge point. We follow the path from the gutter through to where it should be leaving.
Tree cover meeting older drainage. Roots are drawn to moisture escaping from any joint that has opened up, and there is a lot of established planting through the foothills.
Yes, because leaf litter is heavier and more constant than on open ground. What matters more is whether the guttering has rusted, since gutters that stay wet fail early.
Often, but the driveway and gradient decide it. We look at access before quoting excavation rather than pricing blind and adding to it later.
Yes. Montrose, Kalorama, Mount Dandenong and the Dandenong Ranges townships on the other side are all part of our service area.
Around The Basin
The Basin is part of Knox, and we cover the surrounding suburbs on the same terms.
If your street sits on the edge of The Basin and you are not sure, call and ask rather than assuming we cannot get there.

Everyday Plumbing
Access can affect how straightforward a repair is on a hills property, particularly where a house sits well back from the road or below street level.
We carry out gas fitting and gas leak detection in The Basin alongside everyday plumbing repairs. If you can smell gas, turn the supply off at the meter and call rather than waiting.
View general plumbing View burst and leaking pipesDrainage and Excavation Access
Steep driveways, retaining walls and houses set back among trees can all affect what machinery is able to reach a drainage job, and that changes both the method and the cost.
We design and install stormwater drainage in The Basin, connect roof water into it and repair existing lines that are not carrying what they should.
View stormwater drainage View CCTV drain inspectionsHot Water
Thermostats, elements, valves and leaking connections are repairs. A tank that has corroded through is not, because the tank is the unit.
We establish which one you have before anything is spent, and cover The Basin for both repairs and new installations.
View hot water installation View hot water repairsRenovation and Extension Plumbing
On a block with fall, levels affect where waste can run and how a new bathroom or laundry has to be set out.
We take that into account on The Basin renovations, and handle bathroom, kitchen and laundry plumbing from rough-in through to fit-off.
View renovation plumbing View bathroom plumbingStormwater on Sloping Blocks
On sloping properties, roof water leaving a downpipe carries momentum, and where it is not directed deliberately it can end up against or beneath the building.
We trace leaks back to the entry point on The Basin homes, repair what we find and check the surrounding details while we are up there.

Urgent plumbing does not keep business hours, and the damage from a leak compounds the longer it runs.
We cover The Basin around the clock and will give you a realistic answer on timing when you call rather than a blanket promise.
