John Oldfield and the J.O. Plumbing team have been fixing plumbing problems across Monash for years. We know Glen Waverley — the streets around The Glen, the rebuilt double-storey family homes, and the issues that come with them.
Most newer 3150 builds run a single 50mm waste from the kitchen island all the way out to the boundary. Add a dishwasher, an InSinkErator and a heavy cooking schedule and they grease up. We jet from the gully back to the sink and have it running again in under an hour.
Local tip: Pour boiling water down your Glen Waverley kitchen sink once a week — it's the single best thing you can do to keep grease moving through the line.
Flat $55 weekday call-out, $275 after-hours — no surcharge on parts or hourly rate at night or on weekends. Every job is quoted in writing before we start, and the price we quote is the price you pay.
Because we run a local team across Monash, when we're booked into Glen Waverley we're often only a few minutes from a job in the next suburb over. That means faster response times and the same fixed-price quoting wherever you are.
