Plumber Carnegie
Carnegie’s Californian bungalows and Edwardian homes are full of character, and underneath, full of aging clay sewers and old galvanised pipe. Getting either sorted properly is less about finding a plumber, of which there are plenty around here, and more about finding one you can actually verify. Around Town Plumbing is a licensed, registered and insured local plumber covering Carnegie and the City of Glen Eira, from period-home drains to apartment strata. We offer same-day response for burst pipes and blocked drains within business hours, Monday to Friday 7am to 5pm. Call 03 7023 5494 for a free quote and a fixed price agreed upfront.
Period-home drains and pipework in Carnegie
The homes that make Carnegie’s streets so liveable came with the plumbing of their era: clay and earthenware sewers, and galvanised or lead pipe that many owners are now upgrading. Both are prime candidates for tree-root intrusion and slow, recurring blockages. Rather than clear a blockage blind and leave you to call again, we camera the line first to see whether it is roots, a cracked joint or a collapsed section, then jet it clear and re-camera to confirm. Where the pipe itself has had its day, we set out a repair or a pipe replacement honestly, so you can decide with the facts in front of you. Old galvanised and lead water pipes are a common upgrade in these homes too, and we can replace failing runs while the wall or floor is already open, which saves reopening it later.

Strata and apartments around the station and Koornang Road
The apartment build-out around Carnegie station and the Koornang Road strip has added a lot of multi-dwelling stock, and that work suits us. A burst pipe or blocked drain in a block affects several homes at once, so we attend the same day, camera the line to find the cause quickly, and coordinate access with owners corporations and property managers to keep resident disruption down. One accountable team, and the documentation the committee needs afterwards. For a property manager juggling several Carnegie addresses, being able to call one plumber who already knows the buildings is worth more than the lowest quote on any single job.
About Around Town Plumbing
In a suburb with a long list of plumbers and a couple of very long-tenured names, we do not ask you to take our word for anything. Around Town Plumbing has been family-run since 2007 by brothers Aidan and Liam Baggoley, from a base in Dandenong. Every plumber is fully qualified, registered and insured, and our Google rating sits at a straight 5.0 across 42 reviews, with most of our work coming back through referrals and repeat clients. Every job is backed by our 100% workmanship guarantee for seven years. For the full record of our licensing and accreditations, our service-hub pages carry it, so you can check rather than trust a slogan.
Same-day response and honest hours
We would rather be straight about our hours than imply a service we do not run. Monday to Friday, 7am to 5pm. Within those hours, our ten-van fleet lets us reach a burst pipe or blocked drain in Carnegie the same day, and you get a straight answer on timing.
Free quotes and upfront pricing
Carnegie is not a cheap market, and the honest thing to say is that we do not compete on being the cheapest name on the list. What we do promise is no guesswork: a free quote and a fixed price agreed before we start, so the figure you say yes to is the figure you pay. Nothing is added to the invoice afterwards, and every job sits under the seven-year workmanship guarantee.

Plumber Carnegie FAQs
Are you the cheapest plumber in Carnegie?
Probably not, and we would rather be straight about it. We price fairly and fix the figure upfront, and we back every job for seven years, which for most Carnegie owners with a period home or an apartment matters more than the lowest quote that leaves the real problem unfixed.
What do your reviews say?
Our Google rating is a straight 5.0 from 42 reviews, and around nine in ten of our jobs come from customers who return or refer to us. We would rather grow that way than through advertising volume.
My old Carnegie home's drain keeps blocking. What's going on?
In period homes it is usually tree roots getting into aging clay sewers. A CCTV inspection shows exactly where, so we can jet it clear and advise whether the pipe needs a repair rather than another clear next season.
How do you spot a dodgy plumber?
Ask for the plumbing licence number, confirm registration and insurance, and never accept work without a written price first. We hold a plumbing licence, are fully insured, and quote a fixed price in writing before we begin.
