Mount Martha Plumber (3934) – Coastal Homes and Holiday Houses
Mount Martha is a mix of permanent homes and holiday houses. Salt air is hard on outdoor hot water units and fittings, and houses that sit empty for weeks can hide a slow leak or a dead hot water system until you arrive for the weekend. I'm based in Frankston and work right across the Peninsula.

PLUMBING SERVICES
Hot water replacement on the coast.
Outdoor hot water systems near the bay can corrode faster than inland ones, especially fittings, valves and gas connections. I'll replace a failed system the same day where I can, and recommend a unit and placement that suits coastal conditions. Heat pumps are also an option, 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 drain clearing, sewer repairs and help with recurring drainage problems.
GUTTERS, DRAINS AND STORMS
Gutters, drains and storm damage
Coastal winds and trees fill gutters fast, and heavy rain finds every weak spot. I clean and repair gutters and downpipes, clear stormwater drains and fix leaks. For holiday rentals and long-term rentals, I also do gas safety checks with a written report.

★★★★★
"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 • MOUNT MARTHA
Mount Martha plumbing questions
Straight answers to the things Mount Martha customers ask me most.
Why has my outdoor hot water system rusted so quickly?
Salt air near the bay speeds up corrosion. A well-placed unit and quality fittings help it last longer.
Do you do gas safety checks for rentals?
Yes. I complete the check with a written report and can fix any issue I find.
Can you fix gutters as well as plumbing?
Yes. I clean and repair gutters and downpipes and clear stormwater drains.
