Urgent repairs
Under Victorian rental law, urgent repairs include a burst water service, a blocked or broken toilet, a serious roof leak, a gas leak, a dangerous electrical fault, and failure of hot water, cooking or heating appliances. These must be fixed quickly.
What renters should do
Tell the landlord or agent straight away, in writing if possible. If you cannot reach them, Consumer Affairs Victoria explains when renters can arrange urgent repairs themselves up to a set amount and be reimbursed.
Landlords and agents
Keeping plumbing in good order prevents urgent calls. Regular hot water servicing, replacing old flexible hoses and checking drains during inspections help.
How we help
We work with landlords, agents and tenants, arrange access directly and provide clear invoices and photos. Renters should keep a record of when they reported a problem and any reply from the landlord or agent. It helps if there is a dispute about how quickly a repair was arranged. Landlords should keep compliance certificates for hot water and gas work on file.
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.
