Plumber Alfords Point

General plumbing in Alfords Point includes diagnosing the fault, confirming the scope at the property, and completing repairs or installations to Australian Standards, with testing before we leave. This covers typical household and commercial plumbing problems in accessible areas, but if we uncover hidden damage (like a collapsed pipe or water damage behind a wall) we'll explain the options and quote the extra work before anything proceeds.

Our standard service process is consistent: we carry out a detailed onsite assessment using specialised diagnostic tools, provide a fixed-price quote with no hidden fees before work starts, complete the repair or installation, then verify the system and clean up the work area. Quotes are priced by the job, not by the hour, and quotes are valid for one month from the date issued.

On first inspection, the difference between a quick fix and a repeat problem is usually whether the cause has been confirmed. For example, a slow drain might be grease build-up, but it can also be a partial collapse or roots, and the long-term solution changes depending on what the line actually looks like.

Fixed Today Plumbing provides emergency services across Sydney, including Ashcroft, Warumbul, Sylvania, and Loftus. You can also see our related pages for general plumbing in Sutherland, blocked drain services in Lucas Heights, emergency plumbing services in Heathcote, gas fitting in Port Hacking, and new hot water systems in Como West.

If you want help without guessing, start by telling us what's happening and when it started. We'll organise an attending licensed plumber and confirm the next step once the issue is assessed onsite.

If water is actively escaping in Alfords Point, the priority is stopping damage first, then finding the leak source and repairing it properly. Burst and leaking pipe repairs cover the affected pipework and fittings that are accessible and safe to work on. If the leak has damaged internal finishes or the pipe is hidden behind structural elements, the repair can still proceed, but rectification of building finishes sits outside plumbing scope.

What typically happens is a small split or failed fitting turns into a bigger leak once pressure changes, for example after an appliance shuts off or a tap is closed. That's why even a "minor" leak can lead to swelling timber, mould growth, or ceiling stains if it's left.

While you're waiting for help, these steps reduce risk:

1. Shut off the main water at the meter if water won't stop, or isolate the fixture if you can safely identify the right valve.
2. Keep power away from any wet areas. If water is near a switchboard or power point, don't touch it.
3. Take a quick photo of where the leak is showing. It helps when explaining the fault on the phone.

Following our standard assessment and fixed-price quote process, we'll confirm where the leak is coming from, then repair or replace the failed section and verify pressure and function before leaving.

Leaking tap repairs in Alfords Point usually involve identifying whether the leak is from the spout, the handle, or the base, then replacing the worn internal components or the whole tap set if needed. This covers normal wear-and-tear failures at sinks, basins, laundries, and outdoor taps. If water is also damaging cabinetry or benchtops, that broader damage sits outside the plumbing repair but the leak still needs to be stopped first.

On first inspection, the telltale sign is often where the water appears. Dripping from the spout points to a washer or cartridge problem, while water around the handle can indicate an internal seal failure.

Following our standard diagnose and quote process, we'll confirm the tap type, match the correct parts, then test for leaks under pressure so you're not left with a slow drip returning a day later.

Shower repairs in Alfords Point usually involve identifying whether the problem is the shower head and arm, the taps or mixer, the waste, or a leak behind the wall. This covers common plumbing faults like dripping outlets, poor pressure at the shower, and waste blockages. If the leak is coming through waterproofing failure behind tiles, plumbing work can still stop active water flow, but waterproofing and tiling rectification are separate trades.

What often happens is a shower leak is first noticed as a damp skirting board or swelling cabinetry on the other side of the wall. By the time water is visible, it may have been leaking for a while, so it's worth taking it seriously.

We take reasonable care around finished surfaces such as tiled bathrooms and timber floors, and we'll confirm access and scope before starting. Where helpful, we can explain findings in plain English so you know what's being fixed and what's outside plumbing scope.

Gas fitting in Alfords Point must be completed by a licensed gas fitter, because leaks and incorrect combustion create safety risks. Fixed Today Plumbing is a NSW Licensed Plumber, Drainer & Gasfitter - 305428C, and we handle gas leak detection, repairs, and new gas connections. This covers regulated gas plumbing work. Appliance faults that are internal to the appliance may require an appliance technician, which we'll flag after inspection.

A gas smell is alarming. If you can smell gas, ventilate the area, avoid flames and switches, and shut off the gas supply if you know where the isolation valve is and it's safe to access. Then arrange immediate help.

The usual sequence is confirming the source of the leak with proper detection methods, completing repairs, then testing the line before it is put back into service. Where required, compliance documentation is provided for regulated work.

If you're booking a visit, tell us which appliances are connected and where the smell is strongest. That information helps narrow down likely sources before arrival.
