Norlane was one of Geelong’s big postwar housing areas. The Housing Commission started building here in 1947, did most of it between 1951 and 1957, and by 1976 had built 2,464 houses – more than 1,200 of them prefabricated homes imported from Holland and France. Many homes today are single-storey houses on generous blocks, with newer brick and double-storey homes appearing as larger blocks are subdivided.
Over the last 12 months we did 97 jobs in Norlane. Leaks and burst pipes led the list (36 jobs), followed by blocked drains (26), and hot water and gas work on 20 jobs each. One job can fall into more than one group, so the numbers don’t add up to 97.
Gas is a bigger share of our work here than in most suburbs we cover: about one Norlane job in five involved a gas appliance or gas line – cooktops, ovens, heaters and the pipes that feed them. That’s licensed gasfitting work, and our team handles it alongside the plumbing.
Our Plumbing Services in Norlane
Here’s what Norlane customers booked most over the past year, busiest first.
A pipe that’s let go under the house, a tap leaking into the wall or a damp patch that won’t dry out. We trace the leak, stop it and repair the pipe.
Kitchen sinks that hold water, showers that drain slowly and outdoor gullies that overflow in heavy rain. Cleared properly, with the cause explained before we leave.
Electric or gas, storage or continuous flow. If yours has stopped or started leaking, we repair it or quote a replacement, installed the same day where possible.
Cooktop and oven swaps, gas heater connections and repairs to gas pipework. Twenty of our Norlane jobs in the past 12 months were gas work of one kind or another.
Dripping taps, running cisterns and toilets that rock or leak at the base. Quick fixes that stop water being wasted every hour of the day.
Thirteen Norlane jobs were for rental homes. If you manage or own one, our guide to Victoria’s rental minimum standards lists what the plumbing has to meet.
Leaking shower roses and bases, sink wastes that drip into the cupboard and basins that have cracked. We find the source first, then fix it.
Plumbing Problems Common in Norlane
Most Norlane houses have decades behind them, and their plumbing tends to show it in a few familiar ways.
Leaks under the floor
In a house with raised timber floors, a leaking pipe can drip underneath for weeks before anyone notices. Rising water bills or a musty smell are the usual clues.
Slow kitchen and laundry drains
Grease, soap and lint build up in older drains over the years until the water stops moving. We clear the line and tell you if the pipe is damaged.
Gas heaters and cooktops playing up
Yellow or uneven flames, or a pilot that won’t stay lit, need a licensed gas fitter. If you smell gas, leave the house, avoid switches and flames, call AusNet Services on 13 67 07, then call us.
Hot water running cold too soon
A system that runs out mid-shower or takes hours to recover may need an element, thermostat or valve – or it may be due for replacement.
Overflowing gutters
Blocked or rusted gutters push rainwater against walls and under the eaves. We clean, repair and replace gutters and downpipes.
Fast Help When Something Breaks in Norlane
With Corio next door and Lara just to the north, we spend a lot of time on Geelong’s northern side. That makes a same-day visit easier to fit in when you need one.
A gas smell, a burst pipe or sewage coming up inside shouldn’t wait for business hours. Our emergency line runs 24/7, and for genuine emergencies we’ll give you an honest arrival time when you call.

If an old pipe is worth patching we’ll say so; if it’s due for replacement, we’ll explain why and let you decide.
-

A fixed price before we start, with no hidden fees.
-
Landlords and tenants covered
We handle tenant call-outs for property managers and keep everyone updated until the job is finished.

Plumbing Costs in Norlane – What to Expect
What a Norlane job costs comes down to the fault, the parts and how easy the pipe is to reach. Working under a raised timber floor is a different job from cutting into a concrete slab, and gas work includes testing the connection before we leave.
Whatever the job, you get a fixed price before we start. If you rent, your rental provider is normally the one who organises and pays for repairs that aren’t the renter’s fault, so check with them or your agent first.

Plumbing FAQs for Norlane
Yes. About one in five of our Norlane jobs in the last 12 months involved gas – cooktop and oven connections, heater work and gas line repairs. It’s licensed gasfitting work, our team includes gas fitters, and we test everything before we leave. If you smell gas, leave the house, call AusNet Services on 13 67 07, then call us.
It depends on the pipe’s condition, not just its age. After fixing the leak we check the pipework around it and tell you honestly whether a repair will hold or a section is due for replacement. Where it makes sense, you get a fixed price for both options.
Often it’s a blocked stormwater drain or downpipe. But if the overflow is coming from the sewer gully, rainwater may be getting into the sewer. Barwon Water says the overflow relief gully should sit at least 75 mm above the ground so stormwater can’t run in. We check which drain is affected and fix the cause.
Often it can be repaired: a failed element, thermostat or valve on an electric system, or a burner or pilot fault on a gas one. If the tank itself is leaking or rusted through, replacement is the sensible option. We tell you which, with a fixed price either way.
Tenants should go to their rental provider or agent first. For urgent repairs such as a burst water service or a gas leak, Consumer Affairs Victoria says renters should use the emergency number they were given when they moved in, and confirm the request in writing. Property managers can book us straight away.
Everyday jobs get a same-day visit whenever our schedule allows. Emergencies – a burst pipe, a gas smell, sewage coming up inside – are covered 24/7, including weekends and public holidays. Call 0447 134 432 and you’ll speak to a plumber, not a call centre.
