Google reviews from Altona North and nearby
Verified on GoogleJoel attended promptly to an out-of-hours urgent callout for a blocked sewer. Very professional and courteous, quickly located and cleared the blockage. Highly recommend Hobsons Bay Plumbing.
Amazing service pretty much sums it up. Friday afternoon I discovered a possible water leak under my concrete. Called Hobsons Bay Plumbing and barely an hour later Jack, Daniel and a third plumber were on site.
Had my hot water system removed and replaced. Joel was prompt, friendly and professional. The two guys who attended the job were great - super lovely, respectful and did a great job. Would recommend.
Jack was awesome - helpful, explained everything he did and why. Clean, thorough, perfect results. Extremely happy as he really got us out of trouble with our shower.
Jack was punctual, polite, well mannered and very professional. He gave me options on how to resolve my leaky garden tap and explained everything in detail including pricing.
Outstanding service from Joel at Hobsons Bay Plumbing. After a quick call, he had a plumber at our property within 30 minutes. They found the burst, isolated the water and had it repaired the same afternoon.

Altona North's established trees and ageing clay drainage pipes are a common cause of blocked drains - especially in the older streets near WL Grutzner Reserve and Paisley Park. Tree roots exploit every crack in old terracotta and earthenware, and once they're in, blockages keep recurring.
We use high-definition CCTV drain cameras to inspect your pipes before we start any work. You'll see exactly what's going on - no guesswork, no unnecessary digging. From there, we clear blockages with high-pressure hydro-jetting and can reline damaged sections without excavating your driveway or garden.
Our Altona North Drain Clearing Process:
- 1. CCTV camera inspection to locate the blockage and assess pipe condition
- 2. High-pressure hydro-jetting to clear roots, grease and debris
- 3. Post-clean camera check to confirm the drain is 100% clear
- 4. Written report with footage - perfect for strata and insurance claims
Fixed pricing on all drain work. You'll know the cost before we start.

"The galvanised pipes in our fibro cottage were so corroded the water was brown. Joel replaced them all with copper in a day, fixed the pressure issue and cleaned up like he was never there. Outstanding service."
