Renovation rough-ins.
Why kitchens here work harder
Homes around here put their kitchens through a lot, and the age of the housing stock has a say in what fails.
Built for big family dinners
Kitchens in these 1970s and 80s brick-veneer homes were built for big families cooking every night, so the taps, traps and drain connections have carried decades of dinners.
Trees near the pipe run
Established gardens on generous lots put mature trees near buried lines. Roots reach a kitchen drain from the garden bed a few metres away, so a slow drain may share its pipe.
Grease narrows the line
Grease sets in layers inside the pipe and narrows it month by month, and food scraps snag on the roughness left behind. It is the same story everywhere.

When a kitchen problem is more than a kitchen problem
Some kitchen sink trouble starts outside the kitchen entirely, and knowing the difference saves a call-out.
The catchment we sit in
This suburb sits in the Ironbark Creek catchment, and heavy rain surcharges the shared lines. Water comes back through the lowest fixture, which is often the kitchen sink.
Signs the trouble is downstream
A sink that gurgles when the washing machine drains points past the trap. So does water rising into the sink during a downpour on Jubilee Road or anywhere downhill.
Where the real fix lives
The fix lives in the drain, not the sink. The blocked drains page covers clearing and camera inspections, and the drainage hub covers the rest of the run.
Honest advice first
We tell you honestly which problem you are looking at before any work starts, because clearing a sink trap will not fix a surcharged stormwater line outside.
Related work in the same visit
Kitchen jobs often travel with other rooms. A dishwasher install pairs with the dishwasher installation page, and a gas point for a new cooktop sits alongside gas fitting.
If the kitchen reno extends to the bathroom, the bathroom plumbing page covers that end of the house. For the full picture of what a licensed plumber handles under one roof, the general plumbing hub lists the lot.
Kitchen plumbing questions answered
Can you fix a leaking sink mixer without replacing the whole bench tap?
Often yes. Cartridge mixers take a new cartridge and older pillar taps take washers and seats. If the body is corroded, the replacement gets quoted first before you decide.
Why does my kitchen drain block up more than the bathroom one?
Grease goes down liquid and sets solid against the pipe wall, and food scraps snag on it from there. Bathroom drains carry soap and hair, which behave differently.
Do you connect the plumbing for a new dishwasher or fridge with an ice maker?
Yes. Water feed, drain hookup, then a full leak test, with the hoses and valves under the sink checked while we are in the cupboard.
Can you move sink and gas points during a kitchen reno?
Yes, and the best time is before the cabinets and stone go in. Runs get planned at rough-in stage, then pressure-tested and certified before anything is closed.
What causes the gurgling from my kitchen sink?
Air dragged through a drain by water that cannot get away cleanly. It might be a partly blocked line under the sink, or a venting problem further down.
How do I get a price for kitchen plumbing work?
Call and describe the job. Simple swaps get quoted over the phone, and anything involving drains or renovation work gets a look first, with the price in writing.
