We had been aware for some time that we had some type of blockage issue in the sewer pipe/s at our house. LCL was recommended to me by a local plumber after tree root ingress was detected in two places after camera inspection. From initial contact, LCL Plumbing was responsive and professional. Cameron phoned and attended for a camera inspection and assessment a few days later. Excavation and re-lining options were discussed. Last Friday (20/03.23), Cameron attended with his men Locky and Chris and with all necessary equipment including a small backhoe that was able to fit through a side gate. The pipe needed repair in three places and after three neat digs I was able to see the extent of the damage to the pipe/s (and the offending tree roots). These young men worked very well together, were polite and professional tradesmen, and did a very effective repair job (new pipe sections, cement as required etc) to the damaged sections. We couldn't be happier that our sewerage problem has now been properly fixed, and for a reasonable price.Thank you again Cameron, Locky and Chris for your good work and to LCL for facilitating same. We are happy to recommend this company for this type of work based on our experience.

Our investment home in Delahey had a blocked down pipe. I called LCL Plumbing and Ben arranged an inspection very swiftly. The drain was blocked with debris and roots over the years. Leon went out to the site and repaired and resolved the issue within half a day and I promptly received the report. Their director Luke looked after the cost of the job and it was reasonable and I was delighted with the overall outcome. A big shout out to Ben, Leon and Luke for their excellent service. Thanks again guys, Kind regards, Mario

I used LCL to replace my faulty Gas Unit. The team attended to the call promptly and efficiently. They got on with their task independently and with least disturbance to my family. Ben also took time for a followup visit the next day to ensure unit was functioning optimally. Very professional service would highly recommend them.

Had a drain blocked on Father’s Day and Leon from LCL came out to fix it first thing in the morning on a Sunday. Very knowledgeable, did a great job and was a top bloke. Couldn’t be happier and I will definitely be calling back for any plumbing I need done in the future. Thanks guys

I just want to thank Luke for the emergency callout to our blocked sewer drain on our newly built home. During a very stressful event he rapidly organised a team to attend and conduct the necessary works. Brodie, Luke and Ben arrived on time as promised and took great care of their work. They were extremely professional and set a standard for the kind of customer service we would love to see from all companies. Great form and service from Luke and the team.. we can't thank you enough! We will recommend your services to our friends and family!

Our new home started showing movement so we called a recommended plumber out to inspect our sewer and storm water pipes. The result returned a report that didn’t sit well with us so we proceeded to engage LCL Plumbing. A technical expert Matheus was booked to complete a thorough inspection of all sewer and storm water pipes. Matheus was very thorough and professional. His work ethic and expertise was quickly evident. He provided clear CCTV, photos and a report with findings.Very pleased with the level of service received, including the office based team who have been more than helpful.We look forward to continuing to work with LCL Plumbing and would recommend them to all of our friends and family.Thanks again team.

After receiving my water bill and it being x12 its normal I contacted local plumber as I thought I definitely had a problem. the plumber came out and had told me there was no problems I was not convinced as I could clearly see the meter going up when I had nothing on. I called LCL 24-hour line and was told someone would be out asap, Connor arrived within the hour and was very pleasant. he did a pressure test and said there was definitely a leak, after a walk around the property he was able to find the leak and quickly rectified it. Connor explained everything, was very respectful and understanding that I needed him to be quiet as I had 2 young kids sleeping.Would definitely recommend LCL Plumbing and Drainage.

Arrived at the time promised and were easy to work with to get the problem solved (blocked drain). Definitely knew what needed to be done and quickly got on with the job. Left no mess and provided a good explanation of what was found and what was done.

Great service from all the way from booking through to onsite inspection and the post visit report. We had a major water leak and Connor was meticulous with identifying the root cause problem and recommending corrective action. Pricing was fair for the work / time involved. Would highly recommend and use again for any drainage/plumbing issues.He also sought to discuss ‘nice to have’ v/s ‘need to have’ work so we could manage $$$$.

A big thanks to the LCL team for fixing a multifaceted plumbing and drainage issue at our property.We went to LCL seeking a second opinion and quote regarding a drainage issue. Not only did they provide a better value quote, the boys also quickly identified that we had a secondary problem which the first plumber had missed entirely.LCL had both our issues resolved within the week and we're breathing a sigh of relief to have our property back to normal.Thanks guys!

I called LCL for help to fix a choked kitchen sink after Mr Drain Man could not resolve it yesterday over 2 hours period. Ben was very reassuring and told me LCL will be able to resolve it and he would send one of his highly recommended Plumber Connor to do the job. Ben was absolutely right! He sent the best guy to me to fix the choked drain and he told only half an hour to do the job! Incredible. He is very professional and he cleaned after he has finished the job. I highly recommend LCL Plumbing to anyone and to my Body Corp.

Our 97 year old earthenware sewer needed replacing. (Tree roots repeatedly blocking it). LCL relined the section under the side path (without digging up metres of path) and dug up the section in the front garden (cheaper). Turned up on time when booked. Absolutely professional and explained everything well. Cleaned up as well as they could. We're just left with some excess soil/clay on top of the trench. It'll sink with time and then move some and we'll get going on the garden. Very happy with this major work.?

Luke and Ben recently repaired some piping issues we were experiencing. They were thorough, promptly came to have do the inspection and spent time answering questions. They are very professional and I would definitely choose them if I needed to in the future.

I recommend this business with confidence. They were very prompt in providing a quote last week and were equally prompt, polite and efficient in engaging with the tenant to arrange access for the comprehensive drainage inspections which occured on the very next day. A couple of days later I received a series of mp4 videos and two written report showing the work done and the findings. I’ve just had a telecon with one of the two experts, Ben Taylor, who explained exactly what was done, how to interpret their reports, and the remediation work he recommends I arrange, in light of their findings and observations. His recommendation (to better manage future run-off) are entirely consistent with the prediction provided 2 weeks earlier by a Structural Engineer. Very safe hands, I would say.

Luke was a fantastic problem solver who worked swiftly and diligently to find a solution. He tried multiple things that didn’t work but continued to problem solve and ultimately found the issue. He was friendly, professIona and we would highly recommend him and the LCL team. Follow up work was required and LCL did the work for the price quoted. The second team they sent to finish the job were equally skilled, professional and friendly. We would definitely recommend LCL and would not hesitate to use them again.

Another happy customer! LCL plumbing are the best! Calling the office to fix blocked sewer drain, so friendly and understanding and organising a plumber to come out quickly. Conner cleared the blockage and inspected the pipes. Best part he cleaned up the backyard and sprayed disinfectant around the area! So nice and professional. Will be using them again and again.

We have an ongoing plumbing issue with the rental we just moved into and our emergency contact plumber listed on our lease wasn't able to help. He recommended LCL Plumbing and we are so happy he did! I called on a Sunday arvo and although they had other jobs within 2 hours I had someone at our premises. They called through and kept me up to date. Extremely impressed with this outfits efficiency, quick communication and overall professionalism. A special thank you to Ben for his excellent service and to our plumbing tech, Connor who kindly helped us during his weekend. He explained in layman terms why we had a block and showed us photos of the camera he put down our pipes. 6 stars out of 5, we appreciate your help this weekend gentlemen and super impressed with your overall service. Thank you very much!!

After a number of unsuccessful attempts to locate and clear a blocked storm water pipe I called LCL plumbing. They were able to attend our residence the next morning and arrived on schedule. I explained the problem to Daniel (the plumber) and he quickly got to work with his camera and located a root ball that was causing the storm water run off from our roof to back up and flood down the side of our home. He then proceeded to use a high pressure water jet to travel through the pipes to the blockage and clean out the invading root ball.After successfully resolving the issue, Daniel sent the camera up other pipes to check no other blockages were present. All clear and, being able to watch the whole pipe clearing process on a camera display screen, I was left feeling 100% confident that my pipes were fully cleared.Well done LCL Plumbing! In particular, a huge shout out to Daniel who was:1. On time2. Courteous3. Professional4. Able to quickly remedy our drainage issue.........and keep the cost to the absolute minimum by completing the job in 1 hour.I am only too happy to provide this feedback re our first encounter with LCL Plumbing and they will definitely be our "go to" plumbers if we are in need of plumbing services in the futureAgain, well done LCL!!!

These guys were great! Ben was very responsible and helpful, he would check in with us to see how the job was going. Dennis and Bailey did a great job on fixing our pipe despite it being in a pretty deep and muddy pit. They managed to finish the job within 2 days efficiently and quoted a reasonable price too. Would highly recommend to others.

Hats off to this company and the people behind it. Very fortunate that another company referred them to me due to the nature of the job, and I totally understand why.The people that I dealt with over the phone - very professional and friendly. I have spoken to Luke, Allison, and Lylana. Very helpful! Simply awesome.The guys on the ground - Luke & Brody (day 1 - inspection and identification of the problem), Ben (day 1 - further assessment, quote and discussion of future works) and Daniel (day 2 - repair and closing out the work) - 5 stars +1 to all of you.Happy I chose them, and will get them in the future to fix another plumbing company's work.

Amazing job! We were not expecting to carry plumbing work but when we found out that our drains had collapsed in areas we were dreading the repair bill. I saw a LCL vehicle and called to get another opinion and quote. Good thing I did. Ben explained what was required and the team who carried it out were very professional and cleaned up afterwards. The work we had done was replacing the whole storm water system around the house. Highly recommend them!

We had Ben and Masen out to fix a broken sewer pipe. Communication was great! They were there on time, professional from the get go and got the job done right away with no messing around, they even cleaned up after themselves, washed all our decking and concrete down. Would definitely recommend LCL. And will be using them again in future

AWESOME! Couldn't recommend LCL more. Completely professional, polite, practical and honest. LCL came recommended by another plumber after 1 year of dealing with the worst insurance company in Australia- Youi (who brought 5 plumbers in and couldn't repair an under slab broken pipe). On first contact with LCL Allison on reception was great, then add another 1+ year on to our nightmare, the dealings and communication with Ben showed how good LCL are. Cameron was the plumber who completed the repair and was unbelievable, his and Ben communication and professionalism was outstanding. Thank you LCL for making a nightmare so easy at the end!

What a fantastic service provided today by Daniel and Dennis!! Part of the team with Luke from LCL Plumbing Plumbing & Drainage Pty Ltd. The fellas provided an exceptional service and advice with a respectful approach to a permanent solution. If you're looking for some help, from a company that offers integrity in their service offer, give LCL a buzz. For me, I've finally found a local plumber that I can engage with in the future with confidence.

ANOTHER HAPPY CUSTOMER!! thanks to LCL plumbing for a great job replacing the old old terracotta storm water with PVC pipe. I had multiple quotes done and Ben from LCL provided a quick response at a competitive price. However his quote was much more comprehensive and detailed than the other quotes. The boys also did a fantastic job leaving everything tidy at the end. Will be using them next time! Thanks.

Very polite and professional guys that came out on both occasions. Very pleasant, got straight into the job and could hardly see the 5 sections where they filled in after repairing my drain. Good finish. Can't remember the last time I had a company come out and arrive when they said they were going to. Highly recommend LCL to anyone looking for a fair dinkum plumbing company that does such a thorough job from identifying the issue to repairing it. Hats off to the girls in the office for their quick and polite response also.

We had a blocked sewer drain which after having received a quote from another high profile plumber - which was very high - sought a quote from LCL Plumbing. Not only was the quote so so much cheaper, Ben was able to explain all the works that needed to be done - relocating and replacing a broken boundary trap - in a way we understood the works to be done and the quote. Both Dennis and Ben in doing the works over a couple of days were punctual, polite and cleaned up after themselves.They were also greatly supported by their team in the office which kept us up to date when they would be able to fit our urgent works in.Highly recommend them.Geoff and Catherine, Parkdale
