A blocked drain or clogged pipe can happen anywhere where you have water. Most of the problems tend to come from outside tree roots or inside the kitchen where food, grease and soap can combine to leave quite a bit of gunk in your drains. After many years of collecting small amounts of gunk regularly, eventually, the pipe bore where all the water flows can get pretty narrow. The same can happen with bathroom drains, which pick up a lot of hair, and also the laundry drains which can pick up a lot of fibre and lint. It’s usually after many years of collecting small amounts that these drains get blocked. We can also help with any of your clogged pipes outside of your house. These can receive tons of organic matter like leaves, dirt, tree roots, and even dead animals. When searching for a local plumber near me; no matter what your problem is, King Plumbing your local plumbing contractors can come and unblock your drains and get the water flowing like they’re new.

From leaking shower heads and stiff tap handles to slow-draining basins, bathroom plumbing requires precision care.

The best way to handle a plumbing emergency is to prevent it from happening in the first place. Our comprehensive Home Plumbing Audits are designed to catch small issues before they become expensive disasters. We inspect high-risk areas like flexible braided hoses under sinks (a leading cause of indoor flooding), check your water pressure to protect your tapware, and ensure your main isolation valves are fully functional. Based in Oakdowns, we help homeowners throughout the Eastern Shore gain peace of mind knowing their entire plumbing system is secure and up to standard.
A constantly running toilet or a slow-filling cistern is usually the result of a perished inlet valve or a faulty flush washer. At King Plumbing, we specialise in identifying these hidden water-wasters and restoring your toilet’s efficiency. Using high-quality, durable components, we replace worn-out valves and seals to ensure a silent, reliable flush every time. Based in Oakdowns, we carry a full range of parts to suit most major brands, allowing us to fix your leaking cistern on the spot and protect your home from unnecessary water costs and potential floor damage.

A dripping sink mixer or a stiff handle isn’t just annoying—it wastes water and can lead to expensive cabinet damage. At King Plumbing, we specialise in both repairing existing tapware and installing modern upgrades. Whether your kitchen mixer needs a new ceramic cartridge or you’ve bought a stylish new gooseneck tap that needs professional fitting, we provide fast, leak-free solutions across Hobart and the Eastern Shore.
Often, a high-quality sink mixer doesn't need to be thrown away. As your local maintenance expert, I can often repair your current tap by replacing worn-out O-rings, seals, or cartridges to restore it to like-new condition.
However, if your tap is corroded, or you're ready for a fresh look, we offer seamless sink mixer replacements. We handle the entire process: disconnecting the old unit, inspecting your flex-hoses for signs of wear, and precision-mounting your new mixer to ensure it's secure and perfectly sealed against your bench top. From kitchen pull-out sprays to elegant bathroom basins, we ensure your water pressure is balanced, and your new tap operates flawlessly.

Another successful job completed in Sandford, Tasmania!Another successful job completed in Sandford, Tasmania!
We were called out to investigate a completely blocked drain servicing an outside building. The blockage had proven difficult to clear, so we used a drain camera and locator to accurately pinpoint the exact location of the issue.
Once located, a small excavation was carried out to expose the pipe. It was found that the drain had been damaged and cracked—likely due to traffic above—and tree roots had made their way into the pipe, causing a severe blockage.
The damaged section of pipe was removed and replaced, restoring proper flow to the drainage system.
If you’re dealing with slow or blocked drains, don’t wait for it to get worse. With the right equipment and experience, we can quickly find the problem and get things flowing again.
