Mount Eliza Plumber (3930) – Hot Water Sized Right for Your Home
Mount Eliza homes tend to be bigger than average, with multiple bathrooms, ensuites, large gardens and established trees, and that puts more demand on your hot water and plumbing. I'm John, an owner-operated plumber and gasfitter based just down the road in Frankston, with over 15 years' experience.

PLUMBING SERVICES
Hot water that keeps up with a bigger home.
The most common complaint I hear in bigger homes is running out of hot water, or waiting forever for it to reach the far bathroom. The fix is usually the right-sized system or the right type: a larger storage tank, a high-flow continuous flow unit, or sometimes two systems serving different ends of the house. I'll look at how your household actually uses hot water before recommending anything. Heat pumps are worth considering too, and as an authorised Solar Victoria retailer I can check your rebate eligibility.
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 handled across Mount Eliza.
QUALITY WORK, DONE TIDY
Careful work in well-kept Mount Eliza homes
I protect floors, clean up after myself, and take care where new pipework or a hot water unit will be seen. Big established trees also mean roots in sewer and stormwater pipes and leaves in gutters, so I clear blocked drains, repair damaged pipes, and clean and repair gutters and downpipes.

★★★★★
"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."

Mount Eliza plumbing questions
Straight answers to the things Mount Eliza customers ask me most.
We keep running out of hot water. Do we need a bigger system?
Possibly, but sometimes a different type is the better fix. I'll work out your usage and recommend the right option.
Can you add an outdoor gas point for a barbecue or heater?
Yes. I install and certify new gas points.
Do you clean up after the job?
Always. Floors are protected while I work, and I leave the site tidy.
