Emergency Plumbing
Our 24/7 emergency plumbing service responds to critical issues across Melbourne with a guaranteed one-hour arrival time. Specialising in burst pipes, severe leaks, and gas emergencies, our licensed technicians carry essential replacement parts for immediate fixes. We prioritise safety and property protection while minimising disruption to households and businesses. With strategically located service vehicles, we handle urgent plumbing crises efficiently and effectively.
Blocked Drain Clearance
We employ high-pressure water jetting and mechanical augers to clear stubborn drain blockages in residential and commercial properties. Our technicians use CCTV camera inspections to identify root causes including tree root intrusion and pipe collapses. Offering same-day solutions for toilets, sinks, and stormwater drains, we provide lasting fixes rather than temporary solutions. Our equipment handles both simple clogs and complex sewer line obstructions.
Gas Fitting Services
Certified gas plumbers handle installations, repairs, and safety checks for residential and commercial gas systems. We service natural gas and LPG installations including heaters, cooktops, and commercial kitchen equipment. Emergency gas leak detection uses specialised non-toxic tracer gas for precise fault location. All work complies with Australian safety standards, with mandatory compliance certificates provided for regulatory requirements.
Hot Water Systems
We supply, install, and service all major hot water system brands including storage, continuous flow, and solar models. Our technicians handle emergency repairs and replacement for residential and commercial properties. Stocking popular replacement parts ensures faster service times. We provide energy efficiency advice and compliance testing for both domestic and commercial hot water installations.
Leak Detection
Advanced acoustic and thermal imaging technology locates hidden water leaks in walls, under floors, and underground. Our non-invasive methods pinpoint exact fault locations to minimise property damage during repairs. Services include slab leak detection, pipe tracing, and pre-purchase plumbing inspections. We provide detailed reports with video evidence from internal pipe inspections using waterproof camera systems.

Were on-site within an hour and found and repaired a significant gas leak. Not the cheapest but still excellent value given the thoroughness , super responsive arrival and went out of their way to explain exactly what they were doing and let me make decisions where there were options on ways forward. In my experience you get what you pay for. Highly recommended.

I recently used Inner City Plumbing for a gas leak..they ended up fixing both toilets, my kitchen tap and checking my dishwaher! I was so pleased with their service (Guy and his team), willingness to help, and go above and beyond. They also bought and installed a new toilet seat for me which I was very grateful for! Highly recommend!

Fantastic, efficient, friendly and great services. We've relied on Inner City Plumbing to help with major plumbing issues at our rental properties and small - medium - and larger jobs at home. In all cases, they have arrived within the hour and have always done a great job. I trust them with all of my plumbing needs - couldn't recommend them more! 5 Stars.

Definitely a rip-off, charged two water control valves for $500??!! which retail store only sells for less than $200. Simple service it costs nearly $1000! If that is the way you do business, surprisedly the business still exist, didn’t see the review of Inner City Plumbing previously, otherwise I would never ever call up. Please don’t cheat anymore customers, no one earns money easily!
