Frankston South Plumber (3199) – Hot Water Systems and Drain Repairs
Frankston South is just up the road from my base in Frankston, so I can get to most jobs here quickly. Established homes on leafy, sloping blocks come with their own plumbing problems: ageing hot water units, old clay drains and big trees with roots looking for water.

PLUMBING SERVICES
Hot water for established Frankston South homes.
Many homes here are on their second or third hot water system, often tucked in a tight spot or on a slope. I'll match the right size and type for your household, whether that's gas storage, continuous flow, electric or a heat pump, installed safely to current standards. Heat pump upgrades may qualify for a Solar Victoria rebate, and as an authorised retailer I can check that for you.
Burst Pipes & Water Leaks
Repairs for burst water lines, leaking pipework and visible plumbing leaks around the home or property.
Leak Detection
Investigation of hidden or hard-to-locate water leaks when the source is not immediately obvious.
Backflow Prevention
Backflow testing, servicing and specialist backflow prevention work for suitable domestic and commercial installations.
Fixtures & Repairs
Repairs and replacement work for taps, toilets, basins, pipework and common household plumbing fixtures.
Drainage & Sewers
Blocked drains, sewer repairs and recurring drainage problems cleared and assessed in Frankston South.
TREE ROOTS AND BLOCKED DRAINS
Tree roots in older Frankston South drains
Older clay sewer and stormwater pipes are a magnet for roots from established gums and garden trees. If your drains gurgle, back up or smell, I'll clear the blockage, find where the roots are getting in, and give you honest options, from regular maintenance through to repairing the damaged section.

★★★★★
"Fantastic service, we had a significant sewer pipe problem buried 2m underground, quite a challenge that others walked away from. Due to the location, this had to be dug out and backfilled manually by shovel and spade. Tough job but John fixed this up in no time. Excellent work, highly recommend."
Richard Williams
★★★★★
"John did a fantastic job replacing a portion of my gutters and a downpipe that had corroded. This was an extremely difficult job given the location of the work in an extremely high (6m) part of my house. John made sure he worked in a safe manner given the difficulty. John left the premises in a tidy condition after his full day work."

HOT WATER QUESTIONS • FRANKSTON SOUTH
Frankston South plumbing questions
Straight answers to the things Frankston South customers ask me most.
My drains keep blocking. Is it tree roots?
On older Frankston South blocks it often is. I'll clear it, check where the problem is, and tell you what it'll take to fix it properly.
Can you fit a new hot water system on a sloping or tight site?
Yes. I'll check access and placement before quoting, so there are no surprises.
Do you service older gas heaters?
Yes. I service, repair and replace gas wall furnaces, space heaters and cooktops, and check them for safety.
