Broken fire mains are the tragedy before the tragedy

When a fire breaks out, emergency fire services need to be able to act decisively and effectively to protect lives. You simply cannot allow a situation where firefighters reach your site only to realise, in the moment, that their water access is compromised. If that’s the case, their fight was over before it began.

Some fire mains and hydrants erode over time, others are damaged during foul weather, hit by cars, or burst during water pressure spikes. Whatever the cause, we’re the solution.

As a site manager or council administrator, it is your responsibility to ensure that all fire mains under your purview are regularly maintained and fixed immediately after being damaged. It’s a heavy responsibility. But leave it with our qualified plumbers, and we’ll ensure your fire mains are always ready to go.

We repair all fire main components, including:

We do not compromise on quality

All of our leak detection, prevention and repair services aim to reduce property damage. But with fire mains repair, lives are quite literally on the line. We work with a clear-headed focus, relying on premium parts, industry-leading tools and decades of experience.

Tyron Waring, the plumber from Inner City Plumbing, solved a number of issues we’ve had for a long time, as wellas fixing a pressing major problem. He gave clear advice about our options too. He was friendly and it was easy to chat with him. We were impressed with his professionalism and his tidiness. He’s a great asset to the company. This is the second time we’ve used this company and on each occasion the plumbers have been nice people as well as being very good at their jobs.We used Inner City Plumbing again two weeks ago. They were able to send out Tyron Waring within 24 hours. He did a great job: worked solidly for four hours on a variety of problems in an old house. He gave clear advice, solved the problems and cleaned up very well. It’s such a relief to find a plumber who is clearly trust-worthy and hard working.
Response from the owner: Hi Eric, thank you so much for fantastic review. I must agree with you Tyron is very professional, tidy etc... He is a big asset to Inner City Plumbing. Again thank you for the review and i will pass on the kind words to Tyron. Regards the team at Inner City Plumbing.

Response from the owner: Amy thanks for taking time and leaving us a 5 star review. The team at Inner City Plumbing do appreciate your kind honest words.
Prompt, efficient and did a great job - this basically sums up my experience with these guys. Late Friday afternoon my only toilet in the house became blocked (that was my diagnosis) so the prospect of going through the entire weekend with a blocked toilet was not at all appealing. I called around a few plumbers and none would come out on short notice. Fortunately I called these guys, on their website it says ‘plumber within the hour’ and true to their word, they were there within the hour. The service could not have been better, they immediately diagnosed that the issue was not with the toilet itself, rather it was the blocked sewer in the laneway at the back of the property. They had all machinery in the van and with two guys on the job they went to work and unblocked the drainage. Disaster averted!I was really impressed by how Shane and the other plumber (sorry I can’t remember his name), went about their job. Very precise, didn’t make a mess and tidied up after they finished the job. Really good guys to deal with. Well done and thank you!
Response from the owner: Wow!!!! Thanks Matei for such a honest and positive review. So glad we could help you and a blockage afterhours its not a nice thing to be dealing with especially on a Friday afternoon. Thanks again from the team at Inner City Plumbing
Super lovely and fast plumbers. Had to replace the hot water service and was done within 24 hours. Would have them again with any other plumbing needs.
Response from the owner: Thanks Abi for a lovely review. We know how important it is to have hot water a home especially with Melbournes weather...:) Thanks again Abi really appreciate it.
Efficient communication and easy to work with
Response from the owner: Thank you Sulu. So glad to hear you found our service efficient and easy to work with. Regards the team at Inner City Plumbing
I've had Inner City over a couple of times and really appreciate them. Always prompt, easy to work with and they get the job done. Their rates seem pretty competitive too.
Response from the owner: Hi Jane always a pleasure to help you. thanks for the review.
We recommend Inner City Plumbing highly. We called the company for a big leak in the pipes in our kitchen. Guy and his assistant came quickly, diagnosed the problem, fixed it and were able to provide the needed supplies. They were knowledgeable and worked efficiently. We’ll definitely call them again for other plumbing needs. HG

Responsive and reliable but somewhat expensive.I called Inner City Plumbing 7am Monday morning after a burst pipe overnight had our water off at the mains and unable to shower for work.They were one of the only plumbers that answered the phone and arrived promptly at 8:30am and resolved the issue in 1.5hours.I thought normal rates would apply but I think we were still charged "emergency" rates based on the final bill.
Response from the owner: Thanks Rachael for talking the time to leave us a review
Fantastic service very good guys to deal with very good rates and prompt on time service

Response from the owner: Thanks Tsets Gibbons for taking the time and leaving us 5 stars.Much apprectiated.
Just got off the phone with Inner City Plumbing, where they saved me a few grand. Was looking to get drain grates installed on my roof. I had a previous plumber quote me a suspicious price, so I wanted a second opinion. Called up Inner City where I was redirected to Sam. After some back and forth, he explained that it was something I could easily do myself for a fraction of the cost. They could've easily charged for a visit, but instead just gave me honest and practical advice.
Response from the owner: Hi Nathan, always a pleasure to help and if we can save the customer money thats what we like to do. Thanks for a great review. The team at Inner City Plumbing.
I couldn’t say enough good things about Shane, and Inner City Plumbing. Bang on time, fixed what needed to be fixed and saved me from botching replacing the shower head myself. Chilled, happy to answer questions, his ultra positive early morning vibes got the bathroom back to 100% in next to no time. Thanks so much. Cheers. Sean.
Response from the owner: Sean thanks for the review. I will endevour to pass this on to Shane. Thanks again the team at Inner City Plumbing
Inner City Plumbing were absolutely outstanding!! We needed emergency plumbing after the sewer surged back into our wet areas and flooded the floor.

Response from the owner: Thanks Darren for your honest 5 star review. Regards Inner City Plumbing team.
I called Inner City Plumbing as we had a gas leak. I tried a number of plumbers in our area and no one was available to come out on the same day. Inner City Plumbing had plumber Shane arrive within the hour. Shane was awesome! He let us know the price at every stage.
