Questionable business practices
One of the worst experiences I've had. My 95yr old gran needed her broken tap replaced. It was super important for her to get it fixed the same day, as she's old and the stress of not having access to water even for 1 night was a big deal. Called them at 4p, agreed to pay a callout fee of $195 to have someone come between 5p-7p. Was told someone would call us 30 min before they showed up. By 6:30p still no call, so we called back. Was told the plumber was delayed. Called back another 3 times, more delays, more delays, but none of this was proac...Read more
tively communicated. At this point we were told it would potentially be another 2hrs. It left us in a bad spot as we weren't comfortable having someone show up at 10p at night and even then there was no guarantee of the time. When we asked if they could find another plumber they said the plumber himself was trying to find someone. This seemed off - surely it is THEIR responsibility to find a replacement. After further questioning, we were told the plumber did not want to lose their call out fee. So because the plumber didn't want to lose the call out fee, they kept us waiting and waiting and waiting. We only agreed to pay the hefty call out fee because we thought it could be fixed between 5p-7p, not late at night. Also, be wary that they have bought a number of the different web addresses so if you type "emergency plumber" into google you're likely to end up using Plumbing Detectives even if the website has a different name. We ended up cancelling and sadly my gran was not able to get her tap fixed on the same night.1 comment

Great Service
Called in the morning and Kurt arrived within the agreed time. The job was to repair our front garden tap that was damaged. He provided a competitive quote which we happily accepted. The job was completed within about 15 minutes and I was able to pay EFTPOS on the spot. Very polite and friendly. Will recommend them and consider them for future jobs.

I received a quote over the phone and was asked to leave a $600 deposit. I was called hours later and told the quote had doubled, so I asked for my deposit returned which 3 weeks later is still not returned. I have rang their office multiple times and I am told every day that it will be done by close of business. Still no refund.

I want to thank ADAM. He was prompt and thoroughly professional. I can't thank him enough for coming out late on a Sunday night. He was so polite and couldn't do enough to help me and also clean up after.

Hot water
Great service from Andrew, checking why my hot water service was not heating up. Advised due to age of system option for replacing it and the different sizes, as I have a bigger tank than needed.

Stay away from these thieves
I had a blocked drain called these shonky people the plumber that came was very polite and respectful but cleared the drain with a simple plunger and hydrochloroic acid and was on my premises for 30 minutes only. Yes he fixed the problem but I was charged $330 . I queried the price and was told the acid was $400 a bottle I have since found out this acid is $60 per bottle. Stay away from this company as they are at best dishonest

Never Call Them
Over priced I was charged one thousand and five Dollars on Sunday for open Blocked Drain out side my house Total working time 56:00 minutes Actual working time 20: minutes with 2 minutes using camera not to check the blocked drain, Just to show me that he used camera for extra charge, must of the time Plumber was on the phone and wasting time by doing unnecessary thing. I contact Fair Trade to complain over priced Job... I will never contact them again.

Stay away from them
It's hilarious that they called them detectives. The guy came to my house is completely incompetent or just try to rip off people.
Can't fix a simple problem and create more issues and stress for me
Their price is at least 2 times higher than others while the service is 10 times worse than others.

Leakage under basin in bathroom
Terrible service!!! It took 3 different plumbers & 4 different visits over a number of weeks to fix what seemed like a simple problem. Lots of time wasted with these guys! Waited around for hours & plumber didn’t show up plus no courtesy call was given to inform me & I had to contact the company only to find out my plumber wasn’t showing up. Plumbers always running late every time. In fact the second plumber made the problem worse! Caused me much stress & several phone calls which weren’t pleasant to only be let down time & time again! Consider...Read more
ing how much was paid for again for what seemed a simple job the service was horrible & wished I had gone with another company. I know now not to ever use these guys again. However, a big thanks to the last plumber RAY for finally finding the original problem & actually fixing it! Much appreciated Ray & the gold star is for you not the company!Similar opinion?

Hot Water Replacement
In relation to Melbourne location, we had a hot water system installed and it took two and a half weeks before the old unit was picked up, which we were advised would be no more than 3 days. Even once it was picked up, the took the unit and left the box and all other rubish on the nature strip (again which we were advised would be collected). These guys are by far not the cheepest, which wouldnt worry me if we got the service, but the service on getting the rubbish taken away was ordinary.
You can say goodbye to us as a regular customer. Never again!

Fix of leak by Clay
Commendation to Clay who fixed the leak in our vanity.
He was very quick in identifying the problem and was also very quick in fixing it.
He was very thorough in his job and has a very pleasant manner. Excellent people skills which should make Plumbing Detectives proud!

Questions & Answers
Coleasked
Is everyone in this place called Adam or does he just have lots of friends?
15 answers
I don't know th answer, but I wouldn't use them if they were the last plumbing company on the planet. They are a total ripp-off,
I could not agree more! They are extremely rude if you have a problem and certainly do not live up to the glowing standards they profess to uphold as listed on their website.
Avoid them like the plague!
I noticed the reviews were always referring to Adam and glowing comments after our bad experience. Follow up service is terrible no help at all. Tank finally removed after 2 months and 2 weeks and only after advising them will be contacting lawyers. Drastic action due to there lack of assistance and lack of completing the job..Never ever using them again.
