Kitchen and Laundry Plumbing Ferntree Gully

Kitchens

We install and replace sinks and mixers, connect dishwashers with the right waste and isolation valve, run water lines to fridges, and fit under-sink filters and boiling water taps. During renovations we move water, waste and gas points to suit new cabinets.

Laundries

We replace troughs and taps, fit new washing machine taps and hoses, clear blocked laundry wastes and plumb new laundry layouts, including moves into garages or cupboards.

Leaks in cabinets

Slow leaks under sinks rot cabinet floors quietly. We fix leaking traps, wastes and hoses and replace hoses near the end of their life.

Dishwashers, fridges and appliances

New kitchens usually bring a new dishwasher, and often a fridge with a water line for ice and chilled water. We connect dishwashers to the water supply and waste with the right valves and hoses, fit isolation valves so they can be turned off easily, and install fridge water lines with filters where needed. For washing machines, we check taps and waste connections and replace old hoses before they fail.

Laundry tubs and wastes

Older laundry tubs can crack, rust or leak from the waste. We replace tubs, fix leaking wastes and taps, and sort out slow-draining laundry lines, which are often partly blocked with lint or roots in older clay pipes.

Gas cooktops

Our gasfitters connect new gas cooktops and ovens safely and test them before we leave.

Moving a sink or laundry

Moving a kitchen sink to an island bench or shifting the laundry into a cupboard is a common part of renovations. The new waste needs enough fall to the sewer, and in a slab home that can mean cutting a trench in the floor. In homes on stumps, we can usually run the new pipes underneath. We look at the options before you commit to a layout and give you a fixed price for the plumbing work.

Ferntree Gully ground and pipes

Ferntree Gully's ground changes as you climb towards the ranges: clay and silty loam on the lower streets, rockier, steeper ground near Upper Ferntree Gully and The Basin. Most homes built before the 1980s were connected with earthenware sewer pipe, and on a slope every joint moves a little over the years and lets roots in. Water service lines from the meter are often long and run through rocky ground or under established gardens. Stormwater has to be carried down the block and away from the house. We use cameras, locators and pressure tests to see what is happening before we dig.
