Meet the Owner

Meet Epi Satavu

Epi is a husband and dad of two, and the plumber and gasfitter behind Performax. Family comes first for him. It is why he works in your home the way he would want someone to work in his own.

He has spent 10 years in the trade. He holds both a plumbing contractor’s licence and a gasfitting permit, so he can see a job through from the water side to the gas side without handing you on to someone else. Both are current on the WA licence register, where anyone can check them.

The jobs Epi likes best are the ones that have other people stumped: a drain that keeps blocking, or a leak nobody can find. So he invested in the kit to get to the bottom of them, instead of patching over the problem and hoping.

The kit Epi carries

  • CCTV Drain Camera
  • Drain Jetter & Root Cutters
  • Thermal Imaging Camera
  • Acoustic Leak Detector
  • Moisture Meter

About the Business

A Family-Run Business Built on Honest Work

Performax is a family business, and the logo is on the whole family’s shirts. When you call, you speak to Epi. When the job is booked, Epi is the one who turns up.

The business runs on three things: honest communication, professional workmanship and a strong focus on safety. You hear what he found and what it will take to fix before any work starts, and nothing is left unsafe to use.

Epi isn’t after one-off visits. He would rather be the plumber you call again and the one you mention to your neighbours.

Driven by Quality

Our goal is to build long-term relationships with our customers by providing dependable service and solutions that perform.

Epi was quick and efficient. Changed out the tap and noticed that one of the other hoses under our sink was worn. Caught it before it burst and saved us a big clean up and bill. Good quality work and reliable, use him for all our maintenance and Reno's from now on.

Outstanding Service – Highly Recommended

I couldn’t be happier with the service provided. From start to finish, the plumber was professional, reliable, punctual, and extremely knowledgeable. The quality of the workmanship was excellent, and everything was completed with great attention to detail.

They took the time to explain the work clearly, answered all my questions, and made sure everything was done properly. It’s refreshing to deal with someone who takes pride in their work, genuinely cares about their customers, and goes above and beyond expectations.

If you’re looking for a trustworthy plumber who delivers quality work and outstanding customer service, I highly recommend them. I wouldn’t hesitate to use their services again.
