Plumbing for Craigieburn Homes
Around Craigieburn Road, the station and the original shopping strip, the housing is 1970s to 1990s brick veneer. The water services are galvanised or early copper, the sewer is clay or first-generation PVC, and the hot water units are long past their rated life. These homes give us most of our Craigieburn drain and hot water work, and a water service replacement here is a common way to cure years of poor pressure.
Highlands, Aston, Craigieburn West and the estates along Mickleham Road are a different proposition. The drainage is plastic and the pipework is pressed copper or PEX, so the failures are at the fittings: flexi hoses, mixer cartridges, isolation valves and builder-grade hot water units reaching their tenth year together. A quick check of the flexi hoses while we are on site has saved more than one Craigieburn kitchen.
Craigieburn also has a large share of homes with ducted gas heating and a growing number switching to electric. Our heating and cooling technicians service and replace ducted systems, and our electricians handle the switchboard upgrades that often come with going all-electric.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there an emergency plumber available in Craigieburn today?
Yes. Emergency plumbing in Craigieburn is dispatched ahead of booked jobs. Phone 1300 353 193 for a burst pipe, sewer overflow, gas smell or loss of hot water and a technician is sent as soon as one is free.
Why does my Craigieburn drain keep blocking?
In the older brick homes near the centre, tree roots in clay sewer pipe are the usual cause and the blockage returns each season until the section is relined or replaced. In the newer estates, wipes and kitchen fat are more common and clearing is usually enough.
How much does a plumber cost in Craigieburn?
We quote the job on site before any work starts, so you know the fixed price for the repair in front of you. There is no hourly meter running.
Do you replace hot water systems in Craigieburn estates?
Yes, and it is becoming one of our most common Craigieburn jobs as the units fitted in Highlands and Aston reach ten years. Like-for-like replacements are usually done the same day.
