Check the licence
In Victoria, plumbers and gasfitters are licensed or registered by the Victorian Building Authority for specific types of work. You can search their licence online. Make sure they hold the right class for your job, especially gas.
Ask how they price
A fixed price agreed before work starts protects you from a job that drags on. Be wary of vague quotes or pressure to decide on the spot.
Compliance certificates
For regulated work, including most hot water, gas and drainage jobs, the plumber must provide a compliance certificate. Ask if they will.
Local knowledge and reviews
A plumber who knows the area understands the local pipes and soil. Read recent reviews and look for comments about punctuality, honesty and tidiness. Finally, ask whether they will clean up and take away old parts. A good plumber leaves your home as tidy as they found it. Ask how soon they can come, and whether the plumber who quotes will do the work.
Hampton Park soil and pipes
Hampton Park sits on heavy grey clay over sandier ground towards Lyndhurst, and that clay swells in a wet winter and shrinks and cracks in a dry summer. The older homes west of Hallam Road were mostly connected with earthenware sewer pipe in short lengths, and every joint is a place for roots to get in once the ground moves. Galvanised steel water pipe from the same era rusts from the inside, narrowing the bore and eventually leaking. On the newer estates, PVC drains are tougher, but trenches that were not compacted properly can settle and leave dips that hold grease and paper. We use a drain camera and pressure testing to see what is actually happening rather than guessing.
