Local plumbers Sunshine residents trust for emergencies, renovations and everyday repairs
Finding a plumber you trust is one of those things you do not think about until water is pouring through your ceiling at 11pm on a Tuesday. Brimbank has dozens of licensed plumbers, but the gap between a great one and a dodgy one is enormous. A bad plumber costs you twice.
We looked at Google reviews, hipages ratings, Facebook community recommendations, and licensing records to find seven plumbers that Brimbank residents actually call back. These are not the cheapest. They are the ones people recommend to their neighbours.
Based in: Keilor Downs (covers all of Brimbank)
Phone: 0401 424 680
Website: taralloplumbing.com.au
Tarallo Plumbing has 179 ratings on hipages with a 5-star average and 16 Google reviews at the same mark. David Tarallo has been operating out of Keilor Downs since 2012, covering everything from burst pipes and hot water system replacements to full bathroom renovations.
Hipages reviews consistently mention fast response times. One Airport West customer in March 2026 wrote that David arrived within 40 minutes, removed and disposed of an old hot water system, and had a new one installed the same day. That kind of turnaround matters when you are standing in a cold shower.
Coverage extends across Brimbank, from Taylors Lakes down to Deer Park.

Mamone's Plumbing is the name that keeps coming up in Brimbank Facebook groups. Dominic Mamone runs the operation, and locals describe him as reliable, punctual, and someone who actually cleans up when the job is done. That last part sounds minor until you have dealt with a plumber who leaves your bathroom looking like a construction site.
One resident in the Sunshine and Brimbank community group wrote: "Dom took my call at 5pm on the Thursday and came first thing the next morning." Services cover blocked drains, gas fitting, hot water systems, and general maintenance.
Multiple repeat customers say they have used him for years and keep coming back. That kind of loyalty tells you more than any rating.

Speciality: Plumbing + gas fitting + heater and oven repair

Local tip: Brimbank's older suburbs (Sunshine, St Albans, Albion) still have clay sewer pipes from the 1950s and 60s. These are prone to tree root intrusion and cracking. If your home was built before 1980, consider getting a drain camera inspection. It costs around $150 to $250 but can save you thousands in emergency repairs down the track.
A good plumber is someone you call once and keep their number. These seven have earned that spot across Brimbank. For more options, browse all plumbers in Brimbank or explore businesses in Sunshine.
