Practical Plumbing Solutions for Everyday Issues

Our General Plumbing Services

Newton Plumbing Services, located in Wangaratta, VIC, provides comprehensive general plumbing solutions for residential and commercial properties throughout the region. General plumbing plays a vital role in maintaining safe, efficient, and compliant water and gas systems. With over 15 years of industry experience, our locally owned and operated team delivers reliable plumbing services that support everyday functionality, long-term durability, and peace of mind for property owners.

Gas Fitting

Gas fitting is a specialised area of plumbing that requires licensed expertise to ensure safety and compliance. Newton Plumbing Services provides professional gas fitting services for appliances such as cooktops, ovens, hot water systems, and heaters.


Correct gas installation is critical, as poorly fitted gas systems can pose serious safety risks. Our team ensures all gas connections are installed, tested, and commissioned according to Australian standards. We also inspect existing gas lines, identify potential issues, and provide repairs or upgrades where required to maintain a safe and efficient gas supply.

Water Tanks

Water tanks are an effective way to supplement water supply and reduce reliance on mains water. Newton Plumbing Services provides water tank plumbing services, including installation, connection, and integration with existing plumbing systems.

 

We ensure tanks are correctly connected for garden use, toilet flushing, or household supply where permitted. Proper filtration, backflow prevention, and overflow management are key considerations, and our team ensures each system functions efficiently and safely. Well-installed water tanks can improve water efficiency and support sustainable water use.

Drainage

Effective drainage systems are essential for protecting properties from water damage and managing stormwater efficiently. Newton Plumbing Services designs, installs, and repairs drainage systems to ensure proper water flow away from buildings and paved areas.

 

Poor drainage can lead to pooling water, erosion, and foundation issues. Our team assesses site conditions, pipe gradients, and discharge points to deliver drainage solutions that perform reliably during heavy rainfall and everyday use.

Roofing Plumbing

Roofing plumbing plays a critical role in managing rainwater and protecting building structures. Newton Plumbing Services provides roofing plumbing services, including guttering, downpipes, roof drainage, and rainwater management systems.

 

We inspect existing roofing components, repair leaks, replace damaged sections, and ensure water is directed safely away from the property. Proper roof plumbing reduces the risk of water ingress, ceiling damage, and long-term structural deterioration.

General Maintenance

Routine plumbing maintenance helps prevent unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs. Newton Plumbing Services provides general maintenance services for taps, toilets, pipes, valves, and fixtures.

 

Regular maintenance allows small issues to be identified early, such as minor leaks, worn seals, or pressure irregularities. Addressing these problems promptly improves system efficiency, extends the lifespan of plumbing components, and helps avoid emergency repairs.

Backflow Testing

Backflow testing is essential for protecting drinking water from contamination. Backflow occurs when water flows in the reverse direction, potentially allowing pollutants to enter the clean water supply.

 

Newton Plumbing Services provides professional backflow testing and device maintenance to ensure compliance with local regulations. We test backflow prevention devices, issue reports, and recommend repairs or replacements where necessary. Regular testing helps safeguard public health and ensures systems meet regulatory requirements.

TMV Testing

Thermostatic Mixing Valves (TMVs) regulate water temperature to prevent scalding, particularly in commercial, healthcare, and rental properties. Newton Plumbing Services provides TMV testing, servicing, and maintenance to ensure accurate temperature control.

 

Routine TMV testing ensures valves operate correctly and remain compliant with safety standards. Our team inspects, calibrates, and services TMVs to maintain safe water temperatures and protect occupants from injury.
