    Drain Cleaning Canberra

    Chances are, with your fast-paced lives, cleaning your stormwater and house sewer drains isn’t at the forefront of your mind. It’s one of those jobs you’ll get to one day, and if you’re not experiencing issues, why clean it? The answer is simple: it’s less hassle to clean them on a routine basis than to wait until something catastrophic goes wrong. Neglecting your drains can lead to standing water and water pooling in showers and sinks, which are early warning signs of bigger problems. Standing water and water pooling can also cause health hazards and indicate improper drainage. Blocked drains or a burst pipe are no fun and not worth the stress and expense when an affordable solution and fantastic service are so readily available and affordable. Unresolved drainage issues can escalate to costly repairs and even structural issues in your home. Regular maintenance not only prevents these problems but also improves the efficiency of your drainage syste

    Toilet installation and repair by Canberra Plumbing & Drains.

    Toilet, Tap, Sink Installation & Repairs

    Although you may be tempted to tackle a leaky toilet, tap, or sink on your own to try and save a little money, this could end up costing you more in the long run. The reasoning behind this is that you may repair the surface problem, but if there is an underlying issue, you may miss it until you have a plumbing emergency on your hands. An uneven seal can lead to leaks, and using high-quality seals is crucial for preventing leaks effectively.

      "Our gas ducted heating wouldn't turn off, and whilst there were no available appointments the same day, the representative was patient, super friendly and guided me through isolating the switch and reassuring me the unit was okay. The technician came out the next business day, resolved the problem quickly, explained next steps before winter, and they would definitely use them again and highly recommend them."

      "Would give more stars if I could.The good experience started with Jill in the office. Professional and just wonderful in general, and continued with Nick, who came out at short notice and didn't leave until the job that a previous plumber missed (twice) was fixed. Jill also called me afterwards to check in and make sure I was happy.I am genuinely recommending them! To everyone.Price was fair, quality and service unmatched.Avoid a headache and just book with them to begin with.Well done team, should be super proud of yourselves!"

      We’ve Got Decades Of Plumbing Experience, Our Own Equipment, & Upfront Pricing

      Again, we’re sure we don’t have to tell you this, but there are plenty of plumbers in Canberra who advertise a very sweet-looking $99 fee on their website, only to slug you with a much heftier invoice once they’re taking up space in your kitchen. We’re a family owned and run business with over 2 decades of experience under our belts, and we’re completely transparent with our pricing. In fact, most of the time you’ll find we’re incredible value for your dollar in the long run

      “I don’t know if it is an employment requirement at Canberra Plumbing & Drains that you must be awesome and a hard act to follow, but Jade certainly is and so is Josh T, the technician who came out to look at the cooler. Not only did he get on my roof in the stifling heat, but he fixed the problem promptly and he explained what had happened and what the outlook was for the cooler. He is just a lovely man — genuine, efficient, and professional.”

      Eileen D

      “These guys are fantastic! I managed to book in super quickly for an emergency issue. The booking window was only 2hrs and they called half an hour before so it was super easy for someone working full time. Jake was friendly and fixed the issue really quickly. He tidied up and left it all cleaner than it was before they came. Pricing was super reasonable as well considering the quality work 🙂 Huge thanks to the team!”

      “Great service. Turned up on time. Technicians friendly and informative. Mobile eftpos and online receipting makes the whole process seamless.”

      “From the initial call answering to the appointment booking and plumber’s visit, everything was done with utmost professionalism and commitment to customer satisfaction. My first time using this service and will continue to use and recommend Canberra Plumbing and Drain to others. Thank you Jerrard for your prompt, reliable, and friendly service, we really appreciate it!”

      “Overall a very pleasant experience dealing with the Company. Experienced trades was quickly able to establish the fault in our evaporative cooling. Further they provided a competitive quote for a replacement unit and were able to give us an installation date quite soon given it was the busiest period for their business (peak summers). We are now awaiting the installation which was booked in by their friendly receptionist.”

      “Still owe me $200 deposit after the quoted 2 grand to install a 50L hot water system in an apartment. What a joke.”

      “Never in my life have I dealt with a worse company. They are predatory in their approach from first contact. They really don’t care about your plumbing problems and just look at a quote for an opportunity to rip you off. They especially prey on the old and vulnerable and are a trained to do so.

      I doubt if there are any tradesmen amongst the BOYS, not men, that they let loose at your house. They just don’t care about you or your things. They damage things in the house and in your garden, they don’t clean up after themselves and they lack basic communication skill when it comes to listening to the customer. WHY?? Because they are focused on getting as much money out of you as possible! To them nothing else matters.

      They then follow up with shoddy unprofessional work, rip you off on the price of parts and do as little as possible while at your place preferring to spend time that YOU are paying for chatting on their mobiles and loudly complaining about low pay rates and how they hate the company they work for.

      You would also be wise Not to lend them any tools (they will come unprepared and without even the basic parts so they can go for a drive at your cost). Hide any tools that might be seen by them as they could go missing. They make so many “honest” mistakes regarding things like that.”

      “They don’t turn up. Around 12:30 today I booked one of their plumbers to fix a leaking shower tap and was told he’d turn up between 2pm and 4pm. I rang at 3:45, getting anxious, because no one had turned up and I’d taken a half day off work. The office told me they’d get in touch with him and call me back. Some 15 minutes later at just past 4pm I called back as I still hadn’t heard. So sorry sir, he won’t be able to come as he’s caught up with a gas leak but we can re-schedule. Fat lot of good that does me when I’ve taken half a day off.”
