What we check during plumbing maintenance visits
Every home is different, but there are a few common weak spots that cause most of the emergencies we see. Here’s what we keep an eye on during maintenance.
Hot water units that quietly rust from the inside
We test safety valves, check thermostats, and replace sacrificial anodes before tanks corrode. A serviced unit runs cheaper, safer, and can last years longer.
Leaky taps and toilets that waste water around the clock
We spot the drips you might not notice and reseat fittings properly. A few minutes spent here can save thousands of litres (and dollars) over a year.
Drains that give early warning signs of trouble
Slow water, gurgling sounds, or damp smells often mean build-up is starting. With cameras and jetters, we can see what’s happening inside and clear it before it becomes a full blockage.
Pipework under pressure
We pressure-test supply lines and adjust regulators where needed. High mains pressure wears out washers, bursts pipes, and shortens the life of appliances. Catching it early keeps your system safe.
What homeowners often miss about plumbing maintenance
We’ve spent decades responding to emergencies, and the truth is, most of them could have been prevented with simple checks. Here are the details most people don’t realise about how plumbing fails and why maintenance makes all the difference.
A slow drip can quietly waste thousands of litres
A bathroom tap dripping once every two seconds can waste more than 10,000 litres in a year. That’s water you’re paying for, even though you’re not using it. But it’s not just the waste. That drip can seep into vanity cabinets, soften timber, and create the perfect environment for mould. Fixing it early is cheaper than paying both the water company and the carpenter.
Excess pressure is the hidden reason fittings fail early
Melbourne’s mains pressure often runs over 500 kPa. Most domestic taps, toilets, and hot water systems are designed to handle about 300–400. That extra strain wears out washers in months instead of years, makes mixers drip, and eventually splits pipes. We regularly find houses with three or four leaking taps where the real culprit was pressure. Installing a regulator saves money, water, and headaches.
Hot water systems give off warnings before they break
Most people only notice their hot water unit when it stops working. But long before that, it’s usually showing signs: rusty water from a failing anode, a relief valve that dribbles constantly, or rumbling noises from sediment in the tank. We’ve seen tanks burst and flood garages that could have lasted years longer if they’d been serviced. Maintenance is how we catch those signs before you’re left boiling kettles for a shower.
Blocked drains are months in the making
That “sudden” overflow in the toilet or gurgle in the sink usually started with grease, hair, or roots building up for months. We’ve pulled roots the thickness of an arm out of sewer lines where the homeowner had no idea until the blockage hit. A quick camera inspection during maintenance shows whether roots are sneaking in or grease is coating the pipe, and clearing it early avoids the midnight emergency call.
Fully licensed and insured for every job we do
What’s included in our plumbing maintenance services
A maintenance visit isn’t just a quick look around. We go through the important checks, do the small fixes, and make sure your plumbing’s ready for whatever your home or business throws at it.

Real results from our plumbing work
We’ve helped thousands of locals with every kind of plumbing job, from small fixes through to major repairs. It’s that hands-on experience that makes Outright Plumbing’s experts so confident in spotting problems early and keeping plumbing systems running at their best.
Why commercial plumbing maintenance pays for itself
In homes, a leaking tap is annoying. In a school, restaurant, or apartment complex, it’s a flood of complaints, higher bills, and unexpected repair costs. With detailed reports and clear recommendations, Outright Plumbing helps managers budget accurately, reduce tenant complaints, and stay ahead of the failures that cost the most. That’s why smart managers schedule maintenance that keeps everything running and predictable.
- Apartment blocks and body corporates: Shared risers and main sewer lines can turn a small leak into a building-wide headache. Regular inspections prevent expensive water damage claims and keep owners’ corporations out of disputes.
- Hospitality venues: Grease, heavy water use, and high turnover in bathrooms wear systems out quickly. Preventative checks on grease traps, hot water banks, and bathroom fittings keep you compliant and avoid the cost of closing mid-service.
- Schools and childcare centres: Dozens of toilets, basins, and drinking stations see daily use. Maintenance avoids sudden outages, keeps hygiene standards up, and means you’re not scrambling for emergency repairs during term.
- Warehouses and factories: High-pressure lines, safety showers, and large stormwater drains all need routine checks. When they fail, operations stop. Scheduled testing and servicing keep downtime and insurance claims off your desk.

Questions from you, answers from our plumbers
Got questions about plumbing maintenance? Our plumbers share practical advice so you know what’s worth worrying about and what’s not.
What does plumbing maintenance actually include?
Plumbing maintenance is all about stopping small problems from turning into big ones. When we’re on site, here’s the kind of work we cover:
- We check for cracks or damage in your pipes and can step in quickly with burst water pipe repairs before they cause water damage.
- If we find slow drains or sewage smells, we use our blocked sewer drain service to clear the line and keep things flowing.
- Stormwater is a common culprit, so we make sure downpipes and pits are clear. If not, our blocked stormwater drain service sorts it fast.
- Toilets get a good check too. If there’s an issue we can handle everything from toilet unblocking to cistern fixes on the spot.
- For hidden problems, we bring in CCTV drain camera inspections to see exactly what’s going on underground.
- Safety is a big part of maintenance. That is why we include gas leak detection when needed to keep your property secure.
- We also keep an eye on your hot water. Our hot water system maintenance service makes sure you have reliable hot water ready to go.
- Roofs are not forgotten either. Our roof plumbing service checks for leaks that can cause damage inside your home or business.
And because not every problem waits politely, we are on call with emergency plumbing services if something urgent comes up during a visit.
How often should I book plumbing maintenance for my property?
For most homes in Melbourne, a yearly plumbing maintenance visit is usually enough. That gives us a chance to catch leaks, test water pressure, and clear drains before anything turns into a bigger issue. If your place is older, or you’ve had plumbing issues before, every six months is often a safer bet.
Commercial properties often need more frequent checks. Restaurants, cafés, and businesses with heavy water use put more strain on their plumbing, so quarterly visits can save you from costly downtime. Our local plumbers can help you set up a plan that suits your property and keeps everything running smoothly.
What does plumbing maintenance cost in Melbourne?
Plumbing maintenance is usually far cheaper than waiting for something to fail. We’ll always give you a clear quote before we start, so you know the price up front. The final cost depends on the size of your property, the number of fixtures, and how much work is needed on the day.
It’s worth remembering that routine checks help you avoid bigger expenses. Fixing a dripping tap or catching a broken pipe early is much more affordable than an emergency call-out. With Outright Plumbing, you get a fair price, a punctual team, and work done efficiently by plumbers who know their trade.
How do you spot a dodgy plumber?
Unfortunately, not every tradie out there plays by the rules. A few red flags are easy to spot:
- They can’t provide a licence or refuse to give it.
- Quotes are vague or constantly changing.
- They arrive late, rush the job, or leave a mess behind.
- They can’t explain what they’re doing in plain language.
In Victoria, all licensed plumbers are registered with the Victorian plumbing industry. Always ask to see their details. Choosing a licensed and insured plumber protects you from shoddy work and makes sure the job meets Australian standards.
Does Outright Plumbing offer plumbing maintenance for landlords and renters?
Yes, we work with landlords, tenants, and property managers across Melbourne. For landlords and real estate agents, regular plumbing maintenance means fewer emergency calls and happier tenants. We can provide detailed reports, handle communication directly with renters, and keep properties in good shape.
For renters, we can quickly address problems like leaking taps, blocked toilets, or low water pressure. If you are renting and notice something that needs attention, we’ll coordinate with your landlord to resolve it promptly and professionally. It’s all about keeping things running without stress for either side.
What’s included in a plumbing maintenance report?
After every visit, we provide a clear report so you know exactly what we found and what needs attention. This isn’t just a checklist — it’s a useful record you can refer back to and share with landlords, property managers, or insurers if needed.
A typical report will cover:
- A summary of the fixtures and systems inspected.
- Any problems spotted, from leaks to drainage issues.
- Recommended solutions and a suggested timeframe for fixing them.
- Photos of hidden areas needed inspection.
It’s a simple way to show what was done and what comes next.
Is plumbing maintenance covered by insurance or warranties?
In most cases, insurance doesn’t cover routine maintenance. Policies usually cover sudden events, like a broken pipe or major water damage, but not preventative work. Warranties on appliances, such as hot water units, sometimes require proof of regular servicing to stay valid.
If you’re not sure, check your policy details or speak with your insurer. Our reports give you written proof of maintenance, which often helps smooth the process if you need to make a claim down the track. A quick bit of preventative care now can save you a big headache later.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance plans or one-off visits only?
We do both. Many homeowners call us for one-off maintenance when something feels off, like lower water pressure or strange drain smells. That quick visit is often enough to solve the problem.
For businesses and property managers, we also set up ongoing maintenance plans. These are scheduled visits tailored to your property, so you know your plumbing is being looked after regularly without you needing to think about it. Whether you need us once a year or once a quarter, our team of plumbers can keep everything running smoothly.
