Maintain Your Outdoor Plumbing This Melbourne Summer

Al Mclean • August 14, 2025

As the scorching Australian summer approaches, many of us are eagerly preparing for outdoor gatherings, barbecues, and pool parties. However, one aspect of preparation that often gets overlooked is gas appliance servicing for homeowners.

Outdoor plumbing issues can sneak up on you!


When something happens to your indoor plumbing in your Bayside home, it is a big deal! A burst pipe or broken tap can spell disaster if not caught quickly. While many of us are quick to fix indoor plumbing issues, outdoors we are a bit more lax, potentially because outdoor plumbing issues aren’t always apparent until it is too late. 


To ensure you have an enjoyable outdoor life this summer here are some outdoor plumbing things and tips to keep top of mind.

Sewer Lines Blockage

Sewer lines connect your Brighton home’s waste system to Melbourne’s underground sewer system. If your sewer line is clog, you will know it immediately. Water will come out of your sinks, toilets and drains and smell something awful. If this occurs, don’t delay, call Almac Plumbing directly for sewer drainage.

To prevent clogged sewer drains contact your friendly Bayside plumber to perform a yearly rooter clean of your sewer pipes. Moreover, as a Hampton homeowner, you can trim trees and roots in your outdoor space to ensure they don’t grow into sewer pipes. Additionally, avoid washing hygiene products (and baby wipes) down your toilet.

Leaky Garden Taps in Brighton

Indoors we tend to notice leaky taps and faucets quickly, yet outdoors they can leak, and leak for days (or months) without us noticing. Now that summer has arrived check all your outdoor faucets and garden taps regularly. Small leaks should be fixed to prevent costly repairs later, not to mention, to keep those summer water bills down! Whatever the issue with your outdoor faucet or garden tap—washers, screws, valves or seals, Almac Plumbing in Bayside has you covered.

Outdoor Pipe Leaks in Bayside

Unlike indoor leaks, it can be hard to detect an outdoor pipe leak. With no telltale dripping or water pooling, an outdoor pipe leak can potentially be happening for months or years before being caught. If you notice unexplained increases in your water bill, you may have sprung an outdoor leak. Contact the friendly, experienced Sandringham plumbers, Almac Plumbing. 

Burst Pipes in Hampton

Burst pipes are an outdoor plumbing nightmare. In the event that your Sandringham home has a pipe burst outdoors it is imperative you call a qualified plumber to check it out. Not only could it potentially damage your outdoors (and put a massive dent in your water bill), occasionally, water could also pool under your home causing structural damage. Having a professional Bayside plumber fix any outdoor leaks, burst pipes or water pooling issues will ensure your water and sewer pipes are in perfect working order.
