  • If you notice a water leak, taking quick action is crucial to minimize damage and waste. First, locate your main water shut-off valve and turn it off immediately to stop the flow of water. This valve is typically found near the water meter or where the main line enters your home. Next, if it's safe to do so, try to identify the source of the leak and place a bucket or towels to catch any dripping water. Then, give us a call right away - we offer emergency services and will dispatch a technician as soon as possible. While waiting for our arrival, avoid using any plumbing fixtures or appliances, and if the leak has caused significant water accumulation, start removing valuable items from the affected area. Remember, even small leaks can cause significant damage over time, so contact a plumber as soon as possible.

Local Plumbing Across Bayswater and Melbourne's Eastern Suburbs

McPherson Plumbing & Maintenance is a small, local team based in Bayswater North servicing homes and small businesses across Melbourne's eastern suburbs. We've been at it for more than a decade, with 160+ five-star reviews from people we've helped in Bayswater, Boronia, Ferntree Gully, Wantirna, Croydon, Ringwood and across the wider Knox, Maroondah, Whitehorse and Yarra Ranges areas. Here's a closer look at what we do and how we work.

Emergency Plumbing, 24/7 Local Response

Burst pipes, no hot water, blocked toilets, leaking roofs in a storm. Emergencies don't run on business hours. We're available 24/7 across the eastern suburbs, and because we're based locally we can usually get to you within a few hours. When you call we'll often help you with steps to limit damage, like shutting the mains off, while we're on the way.

No call centre, no overseas dispatch. You talk straight to the team that will be on your doorstep.

Hot Water System Repair and Replacement

Hot water is one of the biggest things we do. We repair, replace and install gas, electric, solar and heat pump hot water systems across Bayswater and the surrounding suburbs. Most homes in our area are running systems that are 10+ years old, and when they fail it's usually unexpected. We carry the most common replacement units in the van, and where it makes sense we'll often quote a fixed price over the phone before we arrive.

Not sure whether to repair or replace? We'll walk you through the trade-offs honestly, including running costs, rebates and warranty, so you can make a confident decision.

Blocked Drains and CCTV Drain Inspection

A lot of the older streets across Bayswater, Boronia, Ferntree Gully and Ringwood still have clay sewer pipes, and tree roots are a constant problem. Snaking a drain is fine for clearing a one-off blockage, but if you've had the same issue twice it usually points to something deeper. We use CCTV cameras to find the exact cause, then clear roots and debris with high-pressure water jetting. If a section of pipe is damaged or collapsed, we can talk you through repair, relining or replacement.

Roof Plumbing, Gutters and Storm Water

Heavy rain off the Dandenongs hits the eastern suburbs hard, and roof plumbing problems show up fast in a downpour. We handle gutter cleans, repairs and full replacements, downpipe repairs, leaf guard installation, roof leak detection and storm water work. If you've got water marks on the ceiling, damp on an internal wall, or gutters overflowing in heavy rain, it's worth getting them looked at before the next big storm.

Gas Fitting, Heating and Carbon Monoxide Testing

We're licensed gasfitters as well as plumbers, so all your gas work can come from one team. That includes gas leak detection and repairs, gas hot water system installation, gas heater servicing and carbon monoxide testing, which is critical for any home with a gas ducted or wall heater more than a few years old. CO leaks from cracked heat exchangers are a genuine safety risk and not something to leave to chance.

Renovations and Water Service Renewals

Planning a kitchen or bathroom reno? We work with homeowners and builders on plumbing rough-in and fit-off, so the trades flow properly through your project. We also handle full water service renewals on older homes, replacing original galvanised steel pipes with modern copper or PEX. If you've noticed brown water in the morning or dropping pressure at the shower, that's often the cause.

Honest Local Service, Not a Franchise

We're not a franchise and we're not a call centre. McPherson Plumbing & Maintenance is a small local team. We turn up when we say we will, we quote before we work, and we leave the site clean when we're done. That's why our customers keep calling us back, and why we've built more than 160 five-star reviews in the area.
