Torquay has grown quickly. Surf Coast Shire says around 5,500 new homes have been built here over the last two decades, adding almost 15,000 residents. Much of the town’s plumbing is relatively new, but newer pipes still leak and every hot water system eventually wears out.
That’s what our Torquay job sheet shows. In the last 12 months we’ve done 28 jobs here, and roughly four in ten involved a leak. Hot water made up about one in three, and blocked drains one in five. We spend most weeks in Armstrong Creek, Mount Duneed and Grovedale, just to the north.
Torquay is also a town of second homes and rentals. On Census night 2021, about one in five dwellings was unoccupied, and a similar share were rented. We work for owners, tenants and property managers here.
Plumbing Services for Torquay Homes
Listed by how often Torquay customers have needed each one in the past year.
A meter that keeps ticking with every tap off, a damp patch on a new floor, or a bill that has jumped. We locate the leak with as little disruption as possible and repair it properly.
Repairs and replacements for gas, electric, solar and heat pump systems. If yours has failed, we explain the options that suit your home and usage before you choose.
Kitchen sinks that back up, showers that drain slowly and outdoor gullies that overflow. We clear the blockage and tell you if the line needs more than a clean.
Dripping taps, stiff mixers, slow sinks and leaking showers. Quick, tidy fixes that stop water going to waste and keep the bathroom and kitchen working.
New gas appliance connections, gas hot water and gas leak repairs by licensed tradespeople. If you can smell gas, get outside first, call AusNet Services on 13 67 07, then call us.
Overflowing gutters and leaking downpipes send water where it shouldn’t go. We repair and replace them so roof water drains away from your walls and footings.
Tank pumps that won’t start, cycle on and off, or leave you with no pressure. We repair and replace pumps and plumb in tanks properly.
What Goes Wrong in Torquay Homes
A new house isn’t a problem-free house. These are the faults behind most of our Torquay calls.
Hidden leaks
Leaks hide inside walls, under slabs and behind showers. The first clue is often a damp smell, lifting flooring or a water bill that doesn’t make sense.
Hot water that fails
Tanks and units have a working life. When one starts leaking, runs out early or stops altogether, it’s time for an honest repair-or-replace conversation.
Burst flexible hoses
The braided hoses under sinks, basins and toilets wear over time. When one fails, it can let a lot of water out quickly.
Kitchen and shower blockages
Fats, food scraps, hair and soap build up in pipes. A slow drain is the warning before the full blockage.
Problems found late in empty houses
In a holiday home or a house between tenants, a drip or a running toilet can go unnoticed for weeks.
Emergency Plumber for Torquay
For a burst pipe, a gas smell or sewage coming back up, call 0447 134 432 at any hour. Our emergency line runs 24/7, weekends and public holidays included. You’ll talk directly to a plumber, who will tell you how long we’ll be and what to do in the meantime.
The first step is usually to turn the water off at the meter. If water is anywhere near power points or appliances, keep clear of it.

Plumbing Costs in Torquay – What to Expect
The cost of a Torquay job comes down to what has to be done, the parts involved, how accessible the problem is and whether it needs an urgent after-hours visit. A leak under a slab is a different job from a dripping tap, and we won’t quote one as if it were the other.
You’ll always get a fixed price before we begin, with a clear explanation of what it covers. Quotes are free.

Yes. Consumer Affairs Victoria says that from 1 March 2027, when a rental’s hot water system permanently fails and can’t be repaired, it must be replaced with an energy-efficient electric system: either an efficient heat pump or electric-boosted solar. Our rental minimum standards plumbing checklist covers the details.
Turn off every tap and water-using appliance, then look at your water meter. If the numbers keep moving, water is escaping somewhere. Other signs are damp patches, musty smells, lifting floors and a bill that jumps for no reason. We can then pinpoint where it’s coming from.
Yes. We regularly work with property managers and real estate agencies on tenant repairs, from leaks and blocked drains to hot water failures. We agree the price before starting and keep the agent informed, so the repair is sorted without the back-and-forth.
