Plumbing since 2007
AM Plumbers: Licensed, Insured and Working Seddon From Footscray
We have a team of talented plumbers with almost two decades of combined experience. Every plumber who reaches a Seddon property holds a full plumbing licence (Plumbing Licence No. 103487) and is backed by $20 million in public liability cover, so the work in your home or business is properly insured. The record bears it out: a straight 5.0 rating across 50 Google reviews, and a 95% repeat-customer rate, which in this trade means people calling the same plumber back rather than rolling the dice again. We have plumbed across Melbourne’s inner west since 2007, and our Footscray workshop sits in the same pocket as Seddon, so reaching you is a short run.
Fast, reliable plumbing solutions when you need them most.
Certified, licensed, and reliable plumbing service.
Reliable service, affordable rates.
Your satisfaction is our priority.
Our Services
Seddon, Seddon West and the Inner-West Suburbs We Serve
Wherever your place sits in Seddon, from the streets around the village shops to the quieter corners of Seddon West, it is well inside the patch we cover every week. Seddon belongs to the City of Maribyrnong, which runs a dedicated Seddon Neighbourhood Plan and applies heritage overlays to protected parts of the suburb, including the well-preserved Edwardian streetscapes of the Seddon Residential and Commercial Precinct. That matters when work touches a protected facade or an older shopfront, the kind of detail a plumber who already works these streets factors in. We also cover the inner-west suburbs around you, Footscray, Yarraville and Kingsville among them.
Burst Pipes, Gas Leaks and After-Hours Trouble in Seddon
Some plumbing cannot wait for business hours. A pipe bursting behind a wall, the smell of gas after dark, sewage backing up into the only bathroom, or a hot water unit that dies on the coldest night: call any of these in and a plumber answers, not a message bank. AM Plumbers runs a genuine round-the-clock line for Seddon, every day of the year and public holidays included, and a licensed plumber can usually be on the way the same day or night. If it is safe, turn the water off at the meter, or the gas off at the meter or bottle, while we head over.
Why Seddon's Older Drains Block, and How We Clear Them
A drain that gurgles, empties slowly, or keeps backing up in an older Seddon home usually has its cause well down the line. Many of the suburb’s Edwardian and Victorian houses still run on ageing clay and concrete pipework, where tree roots from the established street trees work into the old joints and grease and debris do the rest. We camera the line first to find the real cause, then clear it with a high-pressure jet, so you see the true condition of the pipe, not a guess. Where an old pipe has cracked and the same drain keeps failing, a no-dig reline can end the cycle rather than buying a few weeks.
No Hot Water in a Seddon Home? Repair or Upgrade
Lose the hot water in a Seddon home and the rest of the day waits. The first question is whether the unit is worth repairing or has reached the end. A service a few years old with one failed part is usually worth fixing; one well over a decade old, rusting or losing its pilot again and again, is often money spent twice. We work across gas storage, continuous flow, and electric, and where a replacement makes more sense we walk you through the options rather than push the dearest one. One of our team members works the heating and cooling side, so the call lands with someone on these systems daily. If you are weighing up an efficient upgrade, ask us about the current Victorian Government hot water rebates first.
Gas Work and Compliance Testing for Older Seddon Homes
Gas is the part of plumbing where a shortcut does the most harm, which is why it is licensed work. Older Seddon homes often run older gas appliances, where leaks and carbon monoxide are the real risks. AM Plumbers handles gas fitting and appliance installs alongside full safety checks: negative-pressure testing, isolation-valve and LPG leak checks, and combustion spillage testing that picks up carbon monoxide. The results go into a compliance report you can keep for your records or a property sale. If you ever smell gas, leave the house and call us from outside.
Leaking Taps, Running Toilets and the Everyday Jobs
Not every call is an emergency, and the smaller jobs get the same licensed attention. Dripping taps, a toilet that runs all night, a leaking pipe under the house, a mixer that has stopped mixing: left too long, these quietly add to a water bill or stain an old ceiling. We handle general repairs and maintenance for Seddon households and the businesses along the shopping strips, booked at a time that suits. None of it is too small to do properly the first time.
Upfront, Honest Pricing for Seddon, Quoted Before We Start
Cost is the first thing most people ask about, and it deserves a straight answer. A plumber cannot honestly name a per-hour rate or a flat fee before seeing the job, because two blocked drains on the same Seddon street can turn out to be very different work. So we quote the whole job up front and in writing. The figure you approve is the figure you pay, with nothing bolted on as a call-out charge and nothing added at the end. Our price guarantee stands behind it, and you will never be talked into work you did not ask for.
How to Tell a Licensed Plumber From a Chancer
After a bad run with a plumber, the worry is usually the same: being overcharged, or letting the wrong person loose on the house. A trustworthy plumber is easy to vet in a couple of minutes, and three checks do most of the work. Ask for the plumbing licence number and confirm it is current. Check there is genuine insurance behind the job, so a mistake is never yours to wear. Hold out for a written quote before any work starts, rather than a figure pulled together once someone is already in your kitchen. One more sign counts as much: a good plumber tells you when a repair will do, even when a replacement would pay them better.

Seddon Plumbing Questions, Answered
There is no honest flat answer, because the price depends on the job in front of us. Rather than quote a rate over the phone, we look at the work, put a fixed price in writing, and start only once you approve it. The price guarantee means the figure you agree to is the figure you pay.
Yes. The line is answered 24 hours a day, every day of the year, public holidays included, and an after-hours call reaches a working plumber, not a recorded message. For a burst pipe, suspected gas leak or sewage backing up, call straight away and we will talk you through the first steps.
Many Seddon homes still run on ageing clay and concrete drains, and the established street trees push roots into the old joints, which then catch grease and debris until the line backs up. Clearing it helps for a while, but a camera inspection shows whether a cracked or root-bound section needs relining to stop it returning.
The drains inside your property boundary are the owner's responsibility, and that is most of what we clear. The sewer main past the boundary belongs to your water authority, while the street and stormwater drains are looked after by the City of Maribyrnong. A camera inspection shows exactly where the problem sits.
Yes. Parts of Seddon, including the Edwardian streetscapes of the Seddon Residential and Commercial Precinct, sit under heritage overlays, so work that touches a protected facade or shopfront needs a careful hand. We plan the job around keeping the home's character intact while bringing the plumbing up to standard.
