24/7 Fitzroy Plumbers for Homes & Unit Blocks
A sewer smell drifting in from the garden, an overflowing gully by the back door, a garden tap that never quite shuts off. Small signs like these often point to something bigger underground, and the sooner it’s traced, the less of the garden has to come up.
Phone us at any hour. If a pipe has burst, we can typically be there within 60 minutes. We find the fault, using a camera where the pipe is buried, explain it in plain words and fix the price in writing before anything is dug up or replaced.

How We Work on Fitzroy's Period Homes
Adelaide Expert Plumbing & Gas exists because co-owners Michael Heinrich and Colin Archer-Bourke had watched too many homeowners wait for plumbers who never arrived, pay more than was fair, or live with quick fixes that failed within months. Two mates with a van became a team of six, and there’s more about how the business began if you’d like the longer version. The standard is the same as it was on day one: turn up when we say, explain things in plain words, and leave the place tidy.
In Fitzroy, doing the job properly usually means respecting what sits above the pipe. Private drains here commonly run under front gardens, close to the trees the area’s character depends on, and the stonework on older homes doesn’t forgive a careless drill. We look first, find the fault with a camera and choose the least disruptive fix. Plumbing work here is done to AS/NZS 3500, and the Lifetime Workmanship Guarantee covers all of it.
Plumbing for Fitzroy's Homes, Period Houses & Unit Blocks
Fitzroy is almost entirely homes, but they’re not all the same kind of home. Older stone houses sit on the northern streets, large period homes line Fitzroy Terrace and Martin Avenue has its own run of substantial brick and stone houses, with a handful of unit blocks among them and long gardens in front of most. Add a church on Fitzroy Terrace and the trades working on additions, and the list below covers every property here, each quoted onsite at a fixed price.
General Plumbing
Dripping taps, stiff old stop valves and noisy pipes in older stone houses and period homes, plus the everyday repairs a Fitzroy unit block needs. Anything bigger is quoted before we start.
Blocked Drains
Mature street trees and planted front gardens are part of Fitzroy's character, and we commonly find roots are why an older drain stops. We clear root-choked drains and show you where they got in.
Hot Water Systems
Larger homes here commonly have several bathrooms, so hot water needs sizing to match, with a unit that sits out of sight from the street. We recommend a system that suits both and install it tidily.
24 Hour Emergency Plumbing
A pipe bursts under a front garden, or a toilet overflows upstairs in the middle of the night. We take calls around the clock, every day of the year.
Taps & Toilets
Heritage-style tapware for restored bathrooms, or modern cisterns and pans for the newer rooms at the back. We quote replacements before anything is fitted.
Pipe Relining
When a sewer line fails beneath a landscaped front garden, we reline it in place so the garden that Fitzroy's streetscape depends on can usually stay as it is.
Burst Pipes
Where a home sits well back behind a long front garden, the buried water service is long too. When one bursts, we find and fix the burst with as little digging as the job allows.
Kitchen Renovations
Additions here tend to go to the side or rear of the original house, so a new kitchen often sits well away from the original drain. We plan the connection before the cabinets go in.
Water Filtration
A whole-house filter at the mains entry treats chlorine taste and sediment for every tap and shower in a large home at once. If scale from Adelaide's hard water is the real problem, we'll say a softener suits better.

Why Fitzroy Homeowners, Managers & Trades Choose Us
We’ve collected 260+ five-star Google reviews, and most of them are refreshingly ordinary. On time, on budget, and no trace of us left behind except the repair. It isn’t exciting, but it’s what people want from a plumber.
In Fitzroy we’re usually working behind something worth protecting: a bluestone facade, a planted front garden, a canopy of street trees. So we find faults with a camera before digging, keep new pipes and plant off the street-facing wall, and choose repairs that leave the garden alone where we can. Unit block owners and managers, and the builders and trades working on additions, get the same care, and the price is fixed before we start.
Servicing Fitzroy & the Streets Beside the Park Lands
We cover every street in Fitzroy, from Whinham and Halstead Streets on the northern edge to the Fitzroy Terrace frontage facing the Park Lands, taking in Martin Avenue, Braund Road and Elderslie Avenue. Inside those edges we also cover Methuen Street, Cheffers Street, Goode Lane and the homes in between. Across Cotton Street is Ovingham, where the blocks are much narrower and the jobs look different. Thorngate sits on the far side of Prospect Road, and Bowden is a short way west, beyond Ovingham. In all three, the call can come from a homeowner, a unit block manager or a trade on a renovation.
However old the house, we inspect before we price, and nothing starts until you’ve agreed. Call 08 8152 9100 or book online.
Fitzroy Owners Ask Us These Questions Most
Historic and character streetscapes, deep front gardens and long private drains shape most Fitzroy plumbing questions, from relining under a garden to who looks after the street drain. Five are answered below. Anything else, call 08 8152 9100 and talk it over with one of our plumbers.
Can You Repair The Drain Under My Front Garden Without Digging It Up?
Often. Many Fitzroy homes sit well back behind deep front gardens, so the private drain between house and boundary is long and passes under lawn, beds and trees. A camera run tells us whether that pipe is a candidate for relining. When it is, the lining goes in without a trench and the planting above is left alone. When it isn’t, you see the footage and we talk through a targeted dig before anything is decided.
My Home Is In One Of Fitzroy's Historic Areas. Does That Change How You Do The Plumbing?
It changes how carefully we plan it. Fitzroy has three historic areas, around Whinham Street, Fitzroy Terrace and Martin Avenue, and the rest of the suburb is character area, so the street face of most homes matters. We keep new external pipework, meters and hot water units away from the front of the house where we can, and treat original stonework with care. If building work is part of the project, we work to whatever your designer or builder has had approved.
Who Looks After The Stormwater Drain In The Street Outside My Fitzroy Home?
All of Fitzroy is in the City of Prospect, so the public stormwater drain in your street is the council’s. Just west of Cotton Street it varies, because Ovingham is split between two councils. The downpipes, pits and pipes on your own property are yours to maintain, and that’s the part we repair, clear and replace. If a problem turns out to be on the council side, we’ll tell you so you can report it.
When Will I Know What The Job Costs?
You find out before any work starts. Our team give an upfront quote on every job prior to commencing. The receptionist who takes your call doesn’t have a price book, because their job is keeping the team on schedule, dispatching plumbers and looking after customers. The plumber prices the work onsite, with several options where they exist, so you never feel pressured one bit.
Is There A Plumber Available After Hours In Fitzroy?
Yes. We’re open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including public holidays. For urgent problems we can typically be there within 60 minutes, and otherwise we aim for a same day response. Our plumbers hold current individual licences and have all passed police checks, and the company is fully licensed and insured under PGE #360928, with licensing in South Australia handled by Consumer and Business Services under the Plumbers, Gas Fitters and Electricians Act 1995 (SA).
