If you’re looking for a plumber in Melbourne who shows up, sorts it out, and stands by their work — you’re in the right place. General Home Services offers same-day bookings, after-hours support, and seasoned pros who make things simple.
How do I know if I need a plumber or if I can fix the issue myself?
If a quick plunge, washer swap or pipe check doesn’t fix it, it’s time to call a licensed plumber. For leaks, low pressure, gas or hot water issues — don’t risk it. A pro can fix the root cause safely and fully.
How much does a plumber cost in Melbourne?
Small repairs might start at $150. Bigger jobs — like hot water system installs or sewer work — cost more. Good plumbers give clear prices up front. Always ask for a quote before the job starts.
How fast can a plumber get here?
Many local plumbers offer same-day service. In emergencies, we aim to reach you within an hour. Ask about timing when you call — it saves stress and helps you plan.
What should I look for in a good plumber?
Look for a licensed plumber who is:
Registered with the VBA
Fully insured
Able to issue a Certificate of Compliance
Also check reviews, ask for a written quote, and make sure they explain the fix in plain English.
Can one plumber do both home and business jobs?
Yes — but choose one who understands both. Homes need neat, tidy work and clear updates. Businesses need fast, quiet service with minimal downtime. We do both.
What are signs of a hidden leak?
Watch for:
Rising water bills
Musty smells or damp patches
Hissing sounds in walls
Bubbling paint or warm floors
A leak detection plumber can pinpoint the source without breaking through walls.
How can I tell if a blocked drain is serious?
If more than one drain backs up, or water smells bad or gurgles, the issue runs deeper. DIY might help short-term, but a blocked drain plumber can clear it fully with CCTV and jetting gear.
Should I fix or replace my hot water system?
If your system is old and breaks down often, replacing it may be cheaper in the long run. New models are more efficient. A hot water plumber can assess it and give you both options.
Do plumbers charge more after hours?
Some do others, like us, don’t. Ask ahead so you know the full cost. Fixed pricing means no shocks when the job’s done.
How do I stop plumbing problems before they start?
Don’t pour fat or food down sinks
Use strainers in drains
Get stormwater and hot water systems checked yearly
If you’ve had issues before, ask your plumber about a regular maintenance plan
