Burst Pipes
Emergency Plumbing
Burst pipe or major leak in Collingwood can turn into serious water damage fast, so you need a guardian on your side. Guardian Plumbing sorts urgent faults with same-day emergency plumbing, with Scott Berkefeld (35+ years) bringing local know-how to apartments and terraces. Backed by 200+ five-star reviews, we’re also on call in Fitzroy.

Blocked Drains
Blocked Drains
Slow drains and toilet blockages are common in Collingwood apartments and heritage terraces, where shared stacks, ageing clay pipes and tree roots collide. For Scott Berkefeld, it is daily work: CCTV drain cameras pinpoint the cause and high-pressure jetting clears it, guarding you from repeat backups and costly dig-ups. We handle blocked drains across Collingwood and Fitzroy.
- Shared apartment stacks – Cambridge and Stanley Street blocks choking multiple bathrooms at once.
- Smith Street kitchen clogs – grease, coffee grounds and wipes blocking busy cafe drains.
- Rooted clay sewer lines – plane tree roots cracking older pipes behind Hotham terraces.
- New build drainage faults – Wellington Street conversions with poor falls and leftover concrete.
- Stormwater pit blockages – laneway grates packed with leaves, slowing courtyard runoff.
