Plumber Erica

We provide same-day emergency response to Erica during business hours, despite the distance from our Drouin base. For burst pipes or sewage backups, we'll talk you through immediate steps over the phone while we're en route. Our vans carry extensive parts to complete most emergency repairs in one visit.

Water hammer - that loud banging when taps close - is caused by high water pressure or loose pipes. We install pressure limiting valves or water hammer arrestors to eliminate the noise and prevent damage. Left untreated, water hammer can cause premature valve failure and leaks.

Sink installation typically ranges from $500-$1,500 depending on the type and location. This includes removing the old sink, modifying plumbing if needed, and ensuring proper drainage. Kitchen sinks generally cost more than bathroom basins due to additional features like waste disposals.

Yes, we provide prompt service for rental properties and pre-sale preparations throughout the region. We understand the urgency of rental repairs and provide detailed reports for property managers. Our documentation helps with compliance and maintenance records.

Yes, we cover the mountain region including Aberfeldy, Coopers Creek, and Rawson. We understand these remote areas where winter conditions and access challenges require specialized preparation and equipment.

Yes, we install complete rainwater harvesting systems including tanks, pumps, filters, and household connections. With good rainfall in the region, a properly designed system provides reliable water supply and reduces bills. We ensure proper backflow prevention and compliance with all regulations.

Yes, we fix all types of toilet leaks from cistern problems to base seal failures. A constantly running toilet can waste thousands of litres monthly, dramatically increasing water bills. Most repairs take under an hour using parts we carry, stopping the waste immediately.

Yes, we clear blocked stormwater drains using high-pressure jetters to remove leaves, debris, and sediment. Proper stormwater drainage prevents flooding and protects your property's foundations. We recommend cleaning before winter to handle heavy rainfall effectively.

We recommend quality brands like Caroma, Dorf, and Methven for their reliability and local parts availability. These brands offer good warranties and water efficiency ratings. We can supply and install or work with fixtures you've purchased.

Insulate exposed pipes, especially in subfloor areas and against external walls. During extreme cold, let taps drip slightly overnight and know your water shut-off location. If pipes freeze, never use open flames - call us for safe thawing methods.
