Looking for a Specific Type of Plumber in Alfords Point?

Emergency plumbing in Alfords Point (2234) is for faults that can cause property damage or a safety risk, like a burst pipe, sewer overflow, or a suspected gas leak. Fixed Today Plumbing provides 24/7 Emergency support for residential and commercial clients, and urgent jobs are sent out first from our localised dispatch points across Sydney, including Dolans Bay. Planned upgrades and non-urgent work are handled as standard, same-day service where available.

If you are dealing with water escaping, the priority is stopping damage safely. Shut off the nearest isolation valve or the main water valve if needed, then note where the leak is coming from and what fixtures are affected. A common situation we encounter is a sudden blocked drains call that turns out to be a deeper sewer obstruction, so describing the symptoms clearly helps us arrive prepared.

Fixed Today Plumbing is a family-owned and operated plumbing company with over 15+ years of service in the Sydney region. All attending technicians are licensed plumbers in NSW, and we can provide a fixed, upfront price once the scope is confirmed on site. That approach matters in emergencies because it reduces guesswork while you are already under pressure.

If you are not sure whether it is urgent, a quick call can usually confirm the safest next step and whether you should isolate water or gas before we arrive.

Emergency Plumbing Solutions

Emergency plumbing support for Alfords Point homes and businesses focuses on stopping damage first, then confirming the cause and fixing it to Australian Standards. Fixed Today Plumbing offers 24/7 Emergency support, and emergencies are sent out immediately from our Sydney dispatch network. This covers urgent leaks, blockages, no hot water and gas faults, but it does not include non-urgent renovations, which are booked separately.

Our standard emergency process is simple and transparent:

  1. Diagnosis on site using appropriate diagnostic tools to confirm what has failed and where.
  2. Upfront quote with fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour) before work starts.
  3. Repair or make-safe work completed to applicable Australian Standards and safety requirements.
  4. Verification, meaning we test function where practical and clean up the work area before leaving.

What typically happens is the first visible symptom is not the real problem. A wet patch can be a failed fitting inside a wall, and a gurgling toilet can be a main line restriction rather than a single fixture issue. That is why proper diagnosis comes before permanent repairs.

While you are waiting, a few actions can limit damage. Turn the water off if it is actively leaking, keep electrical items away from pooled water, and avoid using fixtures if a drain is backing up. A gas smell is different: ventilate the area, do not use switches or flames, and call for help from a licensed gas fitter.

Serving Sydney's southern suburbs, Fixed Today Plumbing offers emergency services to residents in places like Ashcroft, Warumbul, Sylvania, and Loftus. We specialise in efficient plumbing in Sutherland and are the go-to blockage problem-solvers in Lucas Heights too.

Our services also extend to offering emergency assistance in Heathcote and delivering expert gas services in Port Hacking. We also install advanced hot water systems in Como West. If you are unsure what you are dealing with, you do not need to diagnose it, just describe what you can see and hear.

If you need a licensed plumber urgently in Alfords Point, you can request emergency plumbing services and we will confirm the safest next step, then arrange attendance.

Fixed, upfront pricing (job-based)

We use fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), and the Fixed Price Guarantee means the price quoted is the price paid. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued, and there are no hidden costs added after you approve the scope. There is no call-out fee for many service areas, so it is worth asking when you call. Customers mentioning "web55" can receive $55 off (limited to 1 per person/paying jobs).

Experience and review history

Fixed Today Plumbing is a family-owned and operated plumbing company with over 15+ years of service in the Sydney region. We maintain a near-perfect 5-star rating based on 780+ customer reviews. In practice, that review history usually reflects the basics being done consistently: clear explanations, tidy work areas, and a working result that is checked before the technician leaves.

24/7 emergency availability across Sydney

We provide 24/7 Emergency support for residential and commercial clients, and we dispatch urgent jobs immediately. Localised dispatch points across Sydney help reduce delays, with hubs including West Sydney, Dolans Bay, and Ruse. Same-day service is available for all standard plumbing and gas enquiries, subject to existing bookings and access.

Licensed and insured for plumbing and gas work

All attending technicians are licensed plumbers in NSW, and the business is fully licensed in NSW for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting. Fixed Today Plumbing operates as an NSW Licensed Plumber, Drainer & Gasfitter - 305428C (ABN: 49 147 237 741) and is fully insured with comprehensive Public Liability and Workers Compensation.

Expert Solutions for Blocked Drains

Most blocked drains in Alfords Point start the same way: the water slows, then backs up, then you get odours or gurgling. Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains using CCTV drain cameras to confirm the location and cause, then high-pressure water jetting or other clearing methods where suitable. This covers standard blockages in accessible pipework, but collapsed pipes or restricted access can change the scope and are quoted after inspection.

In areas close to bushland and established trees, drainage problems often link back to root intrusion or debris entering stormwater lines. On first inspection, we often find the problem is not at the closest drain, it is further along the line where the pipe changes direction or joins another section.

Once diagnosed and quoted, we use the least invasive method that reliably restores flow. If the camera shows structural damage, options can include targeted pipe repair or pipe relining where the existing pipe is suitable.

  • We confirm whether the blockage is in a single fixture line or the main drain before recommending a repair.
  • After clearing, we verify drainage by checking flow and confirming the fixtures affected are running normally.

Burst & Leaking Pipe Management

A burst or leaking pipe in Alfords Point can escalate quickly because water spreads through wall cavities, cabinetry, and subfloors. Fixed Today Plumbing responds to urgent leaks with immediate make-safe steps, then fault-finds and completes a permanent repair once the cause and access are confirmed. This includes visible pipe failures and hidden leaks that require detection, but it excludes non-urgent re-plumbing projects, which are quoted separately.

If water is actively escaping, shutting off the nearest isolation valve is the safest first move. A pattern we notice is that small, intermittent leaks are often reported as "mould" or "swollen skirting" rather than as a plumbing issue, because the water is hidden until damage shows up.

Following our standard process, we use electronic ultrasonic leak detection where a leak is suspected behind walls or under floors, then complete repairs and verify the system before leaving.

Hot Water System Expertise

No hot water at an Alfords Point property is usually caused by a failed component, a leak, or a system that is no longer safe to run. Fixed Today Plumbing repairs, services and installs hot water systems (gas, electric, solar), including major brands like Rheem, Dux, and Rinnai. This covers standard residential and commercial systems, but unusual faults, inaccessible units, or compliance upgrades may change the scope after inspection.

From similar jobs, the early warning signs are often there for a while: fluctuating temperatures, discoloured water, or a pressure relief valve that is constantly dripping. In plumbing, licensed installation matters because hot water work involves pressure, temperature control, and regulated connections.

Once diagnosed and quoted, repairs are completed to Australian Standards, then the unit is tested for safe operation before we leave.

Resolving Leaking Taps Efficiently

A leaking tap in Alfords Point is usually a worn washer, a failing ceramic cartridge, or a seal that no longer seats properly. Fixed Today Plumbing diagnoses the tap type, then repairs or replaces the internal parts so the tap shuts off cleanly. This covers most standard sink, basin and laundry taps, but heavily corroded bodies or non-standard fittings may need a full tap replacement after inspection.

What often happens is the drip seems minor, but it keeps wetting the cupboard base or vanity, and that is when swelling and mould start. Following our standard process, we confirm the source, quote the scope, then test the tap under pressure before packing up.

Ensuring Roof & Gutter Integrity

Roof and gutter leak repairs in Alfords Point focus on controlling stormwater so it exits the roofline correctly, instead of entering eaves, ceilings, or wall cavities. Fixed Today Plumbing handles roof and gutter leaks and related plumbing faults such as downpipe and stormwater connection issues. This covers typical leak points and overflow problems, but storm damage or major structural roofing issues may require additional trades after inspection.

In practice, the leak you see inside is often not directly under the entry point. Water can travel along timbers and insulation before it shows as a stain. That is why the inspection looks at fall, joins, overflow points and where stormwater discharges.

Once the scope is confirmed and quoted, repairs are completed and then checked under flow conditions where practical.

Enhancing Shower Functionality

A leaking shower in Alfords Point can be a simple plumbing fault, or it can be water getting past the screen, grout, or waterproofing and into the wall. Fixed Today Plumbing repairs common shower plumbing issues such as leaking shower heads, mixers, and connections, then verifies the fix under running water. This covers plumbing-related faults, but waterproofing failures and extensive tile repairs may need a separate specialist after inspection.

The usual sequence is that a shower starts as a slow drip, then you see swelling in adjacent skirting or a musty smell. Once diagnosed and quoted, we complete the plumbing repair and keep disruption as low as practical in occupied homes.

If you are unsure whether the leak is plumbing or waterproofing, describing where the water appears (and when) helps narrow the likely cause before the visit.

Professional Toilet Repair Services

Toilet repairs in Alfords Point usually involve fixing a running cistern, clearing a blockage, or correcting a flush problem so the toilet works reliably again. Fixed Today Plumbing checks whether the fault is local to the toilet or part of a wider drainage issue before quoting repairs. This covers common toilet faults in accessible bathrooms, but repeated blockages or sewage overflow can indicate a main drain problem that needs additional investigation.

On first inspection, we often see "running" toilets caused by a worn outlet valve or a fill valve that cannot shut off fully. Following our standard process, the parts are repaired or replaced, then we confirm there are no hidden leaks and the toilet refills correctly.

If a toilet is overflowing or sewage is present, avoid using other fixtures until the cause is confirmed, as extra water can worsen the overflow.

Comprehensive Gas Installation Guidance

Gas fitting work in Alfords Point must be handled by a licensed gas fitter because leaks and incorrect connections create immediate safety risk. Fixed Today Plumbing provides gas leak detection, repairs, and new gas connections, then tests the installation before it is put back into service. This covers domestic and commercial gas work, but appliance faults inside the unit itself may require the appliance manufacturer or an authorised repair agent after testing.

A gas smell is alarming, and it should be treated as urgent. In gas fitting, a standard approach is to locate the leak, isolate the affected section, complete the repair, then perform a pressure test to confirm the system is gas-tight before recommissioning.

Once the scope is confirmed on site, we provide upfront pricing and explain what will be tested and why. Where required, compliance documentation is provided for regulated work.

If terms like "plumbers near me" or "local plumber" have led you here, the practical next step is to describe the appliance, the smell or fault you have noticed, and whether you can access the gas meter so we can advise on safe isolation before attendance.

Fixed Today provides an extensive range of emergency services with workmanship backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, and fixed pricing under our Fixed Price Guarantee.

Emergency Plumbing FAQ's in Alfords Point

Emergency plumbing questions usually come up when something has already gone wrong, so the answers below focus on practical next steps for Alfords Point residents. Each answer includes a clear boundary, because not every plumbing problem is an emergency and not every fix is appropriate without an inspection.

Should I hire a professional or do it myself?

You should use a licensed plumber when the work involves gas, sewage, hidden leaks, or anything that could cause property damage if it fails. Simple actions like turning off water at an isolation valve are reasonable, but repairs inside walls, drains, or gas lines should not be DIY. If you are unsure, describe the symptoms first and get advice before attempting a fix.

How much does emergency plumbing cost?

Emergency plumbing cost depends on what has failed, how easy it is to access, and whether parts are required. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so the scope is confirmed on site before work starts. Complex faults like hidden leaks or damaged drains can change the scope after diagnosis, and that is explained before proceeding.

What type of emergency plumbing services are available?

Fixed Today Plumbing handles common urgent issues such as burst pipes, active water leaks, blocked drains and sewer overflows, hot water failures, and gas leak detection and repair. The boundary is that some situations need extra investigation before a permanent fix, for example when a drain is structurally damaged or access is restricted. In those cases, the immediate goal is make-safe, then repair.

Do you provide on-site quotes for emergencies?

Yes, quotes are provided after an on-site diagnosis so the scope is based on what is actually happening, not assumptions. This matters in emergencies because similar symptoms can have different causes, and pricing depends on access and the confirmed fault. The quote is fixed-price with no hidden fees, and you can approve it before any work starts.

What is the role of an emergency plumber?

An emergency plumber's role is to stop damage or risk first, then identify the cause and complete a repair that is safe and compliant. That usually includes isolating water or gas, locating the fault, repairing or replacing failed components, and testing before leaving. The boundary is that some jobs require follow-up work if larger pipe damage or building access issues are discovered during diagnosis.

How do I stop a running toilet?

You can usually reduce the impact immediately by lifting the cistern lid and checking if the float is stuck or the flush valve is not sealing. If the toilet has an isolation valve, you can turn it off to stop constant refilling. The boundary is that repeated running can indicate worn internal valves that need replacement, and overflow or sewage means you should stop using other fixtures and get help.

How do I fix a leaking shower in an emergency?

If the leak is from the shower head or mixer, turning off the local isolation valve or the main water can prevent further damage. Avoid repeated use if water is leaking outside the shower area, because it can soak wall cavities and floors. The boundary is that some leaks are plumbing-related and repairable quickly, while others involve waterproofing or tile issues that need a different trade after inspection.

Does Fixed Today cover the entire Alfords Point area?

Yes, we service Alfords Point and the broader Sydney metropolitan regions. For emergencies, we use localised dispatch points across Sydney, including Dolans Bay, to help reduce travel time. The boundary is access: if a site has locked gates, strata rules, or restricted parking, sharing that detail early helps us plan the visit and avoid delays.

Can you handle blocked drain emergencies?

Yes, we handle blocked drain emergencies, including overflowing gully traps, internal back-ups, and repeated fixture blockages. The first step is confirming whether it is a local line blockage or a main drain restriction, because the correct fix depends on that. The boundary is structural damage: if a camera inspection shows a collapsed pipe, clearing alone will not be a permanent solution.

How fast can you respond to an emergency?

For emergencies, we arrange immediate dispatch and send urgent jobs out first. The actual arrival time depends on current workload and access, but our network of dispatch points across Sydney is designed to reduce delays. The boundary is that some jobs may still require a second visit for specialist repair or parts, even when the initial visit makes the site safe.
