In Melbourne, the availability of on-call commercial or residential plumbing services are a critical aspect of maintaining the functionality and efficiency of any property, be it a restaurant, office building, retail store or your house. Ensuring that plumbing systems are in top working condition is not just a legal requirement but also reflects the quality of the establishment. You can do preventative maintenance but with plumbing it can be either it’s working or it’s leaking. When it’s leaking it tends to be an emergency.
While it’s a given your plumbing needs to be in good condition let’s go through four reasons why you may want to bump this up the priority list:
Commercial plumbing systems in Melbourne undergo more frequent use and, unfortunately, often face misuse. This increased usage puts them at a higher risk of damage and malfunction. Having access to on-call emergency plumbing services is therefore essential to address any unforeseen issues promptly and efficiently. Everyone knows that in Melbourne you can have more than one season in one day and it usually results in some very heavy rain.
While regular maintenance and inspections can prevent many plumbing issues, unexpected problems like leaks, clogs, or system failures can still occur. These emergencies can lead to significant water damage and may even require temporary closure for repairs. Quick access to emergency plumbing services in Melbourne is crucial to minimise downtime and repair costs. If you see a leak or feel moisture where it shouldn’t be then get it fixed before it turns into something that could cost you more money.
For businesses in Melbourne, such as restaurants or apartment complexes, functional plumbing is vital for customer satisfaction. Issues like lack of hot water or non-functioning toilets can lead to customer dissatisfaction. On-call plumbing services ensure that any problems are addressed swiftly, maintaining a positive experience for clients and tenants.
Melbourne Plumbing Co. understands the importance of keeping commercial facilities operational. Whether it’s a simple issue like a clogged drain or a more complex problem like water heater failure, their experienced plumbers are equipped to provide quick and effective solutions. With 24/7 availability, they guarantee prompt service whenever it’s needed.

Given the above it’s also worth pointing out what to look for so we’ve put together a comprehensive list of things that could spell disaster if you’re not aware.
Identifying potential plumbing issues before they escalate into emergencies can save you time, money, and inconvenience. Here’s a list of things to look for to prevent plumbing problems from becoming emergencies, especially relevant for residents and businesses in Melbourne:
1. Slow Drains: If water is draining slowly from your sinks, showers, or bathtubs, it could indicate a blockage forming in your pipes. Addressing slow drains early can prevent complete blockages or backflows.
2. Gurgling Sounds: Unusual noises coming from your drains or toilets, such as gurgling or bubbling sounds, can indicate a blockage in the vent pipe or sewer line. These sounds often precede more serious plumbing issues.
3. Water Pressure Changes: A sudden drop in water pressure throughout your home or in specific fixtures could signal a leak in your system or an issue with the municipal water supply. Conversely, high water pressure can stress your plumbing system and lead to leaks.
4. Water Stains or Damaged Walls: Water stains on ceilings or walls, peeling paint, or warped materials can indicate hidden leaks. Addressing these signs early can prevent mold growth and structural damage.
5. Musty Smells: Persistent musty or moldy odors, especially under sinks, in bathrooms, or in basements, can indicate hidden leaks and moisture problems. Mold can pose health risks and damage building materials.
6. Visible Leaks: Regularly inspect exposed pipes, under sinks, and around appliances for signs of leaks, such as water droplets, puddles, or corrosion. Even small leaks can lead to larger problems if not repaired.
7. Running Toilets: Toilets that run continuously can waste a significant amount of water and indicate an internal leak or a problem with the toilet’s mechanism.
8. Sputtering Faucets: When turning on a faucet, if you notice sputtering or air bubbles, it could indicate air in your pipes, which may be caused by a leak in your system.
9. High Water Bills: An unexplained increase in your water bill could be a sign of a leak somewhere in your plumbing system. Compare your bills over time to spot any significant changes.
10. Rust-Colored Water: If you notice rust-colored water coming from your taps, it could indicate corrosion in your pipes, which may lead to leaks or water quality issues.
By keeping an eye out for these signs and addressing them promptly, you can often prevent minor issues from becoming major plumbing emergencies. Regular maintenance and inspections by a professional plumber can also help identify and resolve potential problems before they escalate. For residents and businesses in Melbourne, ensuring your plumbing system is in good condition is key to avoiding disruptions and costly repairs.
If in doubt or things have got out of hand with your small plumbing problem which has just become an emergency give your local plumber a call. We’re more than happy to help and on call 24/7.
Just left us a star review
Had a broken hot water heater at our apartment and contacted several places for help/quote. Chris and his team are the most approachable, professional and reliable among all of them. Highly recommended and will refer if any friend is looking for good plumbing service.
My neighbour recommended these guys for a blocked drain. They showed up fast and fixed the issue promptly. Truly impressive service!
Professional and friendly plumbers. Resolved our issues with expertise. Would definitely call again!
TERRIBLE SERVICE . Owner advised there is a gas leak and left without fixing it. Charged $300 for 10 minutes. Did not fix issue or provide a refund. Will be taking them to VCAT. Don't waste your time with these unqualified plumbers.
Christian was able to help us with our blocked drains. He was prompt, very thorough and great to deal with. He took the time to talk us through the underlying issue. We cannot thank Christian enough. Without a doubt I would get Christian and Melbourne Plumbing Co to help me with my next plumbing issue
Found my water heater is not working and contacted Chris for help in the morning. He immediately ordered a brand new one and resolved all the problems for me straight away. Also, when he’s fixing for me, he found that there’s water leaking of my neighbor’s water pipes at the same time. He’s a life saver for both of us now! Thank you so much Chris!
I called Christian and he was amazing. He was in the area and dropped past straight away in between another job. He found an issue which another plumber hadn't. He is very genuine and took the time to investigate thoroughly and explain what the issues were in a polite manner. Would definitely recommend and will be using him whenever I need a plumber in future.
Good experience, came within the hour, found and fixed the problem in less then an hour. Was able to use the plumbing immediately and fixed a few other small problems around the house.
Every helpful and made it easy to understand what they where doing at my house would recommend

We have been using Melbourne Plumbing Co. for over 2 years, William and the team have always been amazing to deal with, on time and professional. Our hot water service broke on a Friday and William came that day to look at it for us and we had a new hot water system installed on Saturday morning - limiting our time without hot water. William always gives good advice and written quotes before any work is done and we trust him 100%. So nice to have found reliable plumbers!
Chris and his team have done a fabulous and professional job moving and installing new plumbing and appliances for our new kitchen. The job was completed ahead of schedule to an excellent standard!Communication and responsiveness were both excellent.What we appreciated the most was the diligence and care that was shown towards our kitchen space when installing the sink, tap, oven and dishwasher after the cabinetry and stone was installed. This is a rare trait and one to be applauded.We would have no hesitation in hiring Chris and his team from Melbourne Plumbing Co and we will do so again when we tackle our bathroom and laundry.With thanks,Catherine and Mark

Competent plumbers ..job completed successfully…very considerate and thoughtful re moving around inside and outside the property.., the invoice was reflective of the job required. They will be used again
The guys were great. There were 2 new toilets,new shower suite and new faucets installed. All done professionally with smiles and provided work updates as it all progressed. Their work area was always left clean. These new installations were required because of my hip issues. Melbourne plumbing were aware and helped me select the products for my needs. Christian was informative and patient. Also wanted to mention that I love my new rain shower with handle. It makes showering so much easier as do the new toilets and faucets. I highly recommend Melbourne Plumbing for not only the plumbing and installation, but also for assisting in choosing the right products for my bathroom. Yes I highly recommend Melbourne Plumbing.
Thank you to Aaron for attending to this minor couple of jobs so promptly. Great communication and very polite, clean and efficient. Will definitely make use of this company again.

Ruptured copper water pipe in shower (brick walls). Excellent service from Melbourne Plumbing Co this morning. Every element of the experience was good. My phone call was answered quickly and the job was scheduled immediately. The plumber arrived on time and did the work speedily and thoroughly. This was an urgent job as water had been turned off. I highly recommend this plumbing company.
Unprofessional, made booking, cancelled 1 hour before booking time, contacted back 30mins later to assist with electrician work, then they says organised other work.
Arrived promptly, was kind and easy to work with and did the job efficiently.
Had a burst pipe on New Years day. The team contacted me back on the day to do the emergency repair ASAP. Professional, fast, and very accommodating (as it was a public holiday and they still came out). Highly recommended and would contact Melbourne Plumbing Co again.
