Our service areas

‘Inner City Plumbing’ was a great name for our company when we first set up shop. It told our clients everything they needed to know about us. But that was decades ago. We’ve grown a bit since then.

We’ve expanded our service area to cover over 160 Melbourne suburbs.

As expansive as our service area is, we still guarantee our one-hour response time to all homes and businesses within it. You can count on us to be there when you need us.

Frequently asked questions

Here are five signs our hot water system might need to be repaired:

  1. It has leaks and puddles around it
  2. It constantly makes clanging and banging noises
  3. It heats water slower than it used to
  4. It runs out of hot water extremely quickly
  5. The hot water it produces smells or has an odd colour

If you notice any of these signs, give our repair plumbers a call.

Electric hot water systems tend to be more technologically advanced than gas hot water systems and are typically more reliable. However, you’ll need to consider other factors before choosing between them, such as gas and electric prices, heating capacity, or your access to solar power.

Ultimately, the reliability of a water heater depends on how well-maintained it is. If yours breaks down, our repair plumbers can advise you on how to upgrade or replace it.
