Common Signs Your Hot Water System Needs Repair in Box Hill

Recognising the warning signs of hot water system problems can help you avoid a total breakdown. Watch for these indicators that you may need a hot water service in Box Hill and Bulleen:

  • Inconsistent water temperature fluctuations
  • Unusual noises like rumbling, popping, or hissing
  • Rusty or discoloured water from hot taps
  • Visible leaks around the tank or connections
  • Lower hot water pressure
  • Higher than normal energy bills
  • A system that is over 10 years old

Minor fixes, like replacing a valve or thermostat, can often extend your system’s life. However, frequent repairs on older units usually indicate it’s time for a total replacement.

Choosing the Right Hot Water System

Selecting a water system depends on several factors you’ll need to keep in mind. Here’s what you need to know.

Customer Rating

Fast Direct Plumbing installed a new shower in my home, carried out some minor upgrades to a sink and also conducted an inspection of another second shower. I was extremely impressed with their service and professionalism. Not only was the work completed to a very high standard, but the entire team was consistently thorough in their diagnosis and clear in explaining each step of the process. Every team member was professional, courteous, and considerate throughout. I would highly recommend this company.
The team at fast direct were super helpful and friendly. Thank you Georgia and John for making the process so easy and stress free. John was able to identify and resolved the issue quickly. Highly recommend!!
Amazing work. Quickly fixed with all perfection.Good job😊
We called Fast Direct Plumbing for 2 blocked showers/toilets and basins for a second level apartment in Cheltenham Vic so we knew it would be tricky to fix. Daniel came out to see the apartment 4 hours after the initial call which was fast service. Communication was great at all times. Daniel brought the latest Tech equipment, cameras etc specifically for apartments and he was able to quote exactly up front the cost, which never wavered even though it became a 4 hour job. Daniel was very friendly, genuine, plus he showed us all the issues then fixed them all very professionally. No hesitation in recommending them for others, noting it was the first time we had ever used this Company. David
Burst pipe on a Sunday! Daniel arrived within the hour, he was meticulous in his investigation and efficient and effective in the management of the issue. He provided comprehensive explanation and planning throughout the several hours he attended. Will definitely be using Fast Direct Plumbing again.
Response from the owner:Hi Lyn,
Thank you for the fantastic feedback. Emergencies never happen at a convenient time, so we’re glad we could respond quickly and manage everything thoroughly from start to finish. Taking the time to properly investigate and explain the issue is something we strongly believe in, so it’s great to hear that stood out for you. We really appreciate your trust and look forward to helping again whenever needed.

Daniel & The Fast Direct Plumbing Team
Very responsive and professional — they completed all the roof repointing efficiently. The team was friendly and courteous, and they even surprised us with a Christmas hamper and chocolates. Very happy with the quality of work and excellent customer service.
Response from the owner:Hi Mohab,
Thank you for the great feedback. We’re really pleased to hear you were happy with both the roof repointing and the overall experience. Our team works hard to be efficient, respectful and consistent on every job. So your comments mean a lot! We’re glad the Christmas surprise was a nice touch as well. Thanks again for choosing Fast Direct Plumbing.
Can not recommend this company highly enough!! From the first phone contact when we had a large bathroom leak and spoke to the office to John’s visit at the appointed time next morning. He was helpful and efficient and explained clearly what had happened. At a very stressful time and Christmas Eve - I am very thankful to have found this company!!
Response from the owner:Hi Vicki,
Thank you for such a kind review. We know how stressful plumbing issues can be, especially around Christmas! So we’re really glad we could take that pressure off and be there when you needed us. John will really appreciate your words about his work and communication. Thank you for trusting us during a tough moment, and we’re always here if you need anything in the future.

frequently asked questions

Fast Direct Plumbing provides 24/7 emergency plumbing services, ensuring your issues are resolved promptly and professionally—no matter the time of day. Enjoy peace of mind with their fast response and transparent pricing.

How often should I have my plumbing inspected?

It's a good idea to have your plumbing inspected by a professional at least once a year. Regular inspections can help identify potential problems early, such as leaks, corrosion, and blockages, which can prevent costly repairs in the future.


How can I avoid clogged drains?

To avoid clogged drains, be mindful of what you put down them. Avoid pouring grease, oil, and coffee grounds down the kitchen sink. Regularly clean the screens and consider using a natural drain cleaner, such as a mixture of baking soda and vinegar, to maintain clear pipes.


When should I call an emergency plumber?

It's best to call our emergency plumbers if you face urgent issues like burst pipes, sewage backups, flooding, no water supply, or overflowing toilets. These situations can cause major damage or pose health risks. Acting quickly helps prevent further damage and costly repairs. Our team will answer your call and arrive the same day.
