Emergency Plumber Arncliffe

Fixed Today Plumbing provides emergency plumbing across Arncliffe and the St George region, responding to emergency service calls 24/7 from our local dispatch points. This covers burst pipes, gas leaks, severe blockages, and hot water failures where delay increases risk of property damage or safety hazards; if the situation allows time for a scheduled booking, we still aim for same-day service to minimise disruption.

When a pipe bursts or a gas smell is detected, immediate dispatch means the job is sent out first and the nearest available licensed and insured plumbing technician is allocated. We provide an ETA when you book and update you if traffic or prior jobs affect timing. Once onsite, the plumber confirms the affected area, isolates water or gas where needed to make the property safe, then explains what's required and provides a fixed-price quote before starting the repair.

Our team has been operating across Sydney for over 15 years, and we've handled thousands of emergency callouts in suburbs with Federation-era drainage and modern apartment complexes alike. That experience means we arrive with the diagnostic tools needed for rapid assessment: CCTV inspection equipment to locate hidden blockages, electronic leak detectors for concealed pipe failures, and fully stocked vans with common replacement parts to avoid delays.

All work is completed by licensed plumbers and tested before departing. For example, after a broken pipe repair, we check water pressure and inspect joints for leaks. After a gas repair, we perform a pressure loss test to verify the system is gas-tight before reconnecting appliances. We document what was done and provide receipts suitable for insurance claims or strata records.

We're a family-owned business, and our reputation in the St George region is built on honest pricing and reliable outcomes. Near-perfect 5-star rating based on over 800 verified customer reviews reflects that commitment. If you're dealing with an active leak, a gas odour, or a drain backing up into the property, call us now so we can confirm urgency and get someone on the way.

Hot water system repairs and installations in Arncliffe cover electric storage, continuous flow gas, and heat pump units when the system fails or reaches end-of-life. This includes diagnosing faults, replacing failing components where practical, or installing a new unit when repair costs approach replacement value; if the issue is minor (a faulty thermostat or pressure relief valve), we fix it and test the system before leaving.

A sudden loss of hot water usually indicates a failed heating element in electric systems, a pilot light or gas valve issue in continuous flow units, or a corroded sacrificial anode in storage tanks. Rust-coloured water in the morning often signals sediment buildup or tank corrosion. Fluctuating temperatures can point to a failing thermostat or inadequate system sizing for household demand.

We assess the system onsite, check for visible leaks, test electrical connections (for electric units), inspect gas burners and pilot assemblies (for gas units), and confirm water pressure and temperature output. If the fault is repairable, we explain what's required and provide a fixed quote. If the tank has corroded through or the heat exchanger has failed, replacement is usually more cost-effective than attempting a temporary patch.

For new installations, we discuss system types suited to your household size and usage patterns. Continuous flow gas systems provide endless hot water and are energy-efficient for larger families. Electric storage is lower upfront cost but requires adequate roof or ground space. Heat pumps offer long-term energy savings but need suitable outdoor placement. All installations comply with AS/NZS 3500 standards, including mandatory Tempering Valves (to limit tap temperature to 50°C and prevent scalding) and Pressure Relief Valves (to prevent tank over-pressurisation).

We provide service the same day for urgent hot water failures where possible, depending on current bookings and parts availability. After installation or repair, we test the system, verify temperature output, check for leaks at connections, and explain the warranty coverage. Manufacturer warranties apply to the unit itself, and our Lifetime Labour Warranty covers the installation workmanship.

Roof and gutter leak repairs in Arncliffe address water ingress from damaged flashing, blocked gutters, or failed roof penetrations (vents, skylights, pipe collars) that allow rainwater to enter the ceiling cavity or wall structure. This covers identifying the leak source, repairing or replacing the damaged component, and verifying the repair under water testing; if the leak has caused internal water damage, we can coordinate with restoration specialists once the plumbing fault is resolved.

Roof leaks often show up as ceiling stains, dripping water during rain, or damp patches in walls near the roofline. The actual leak point is usually uphill from where the water appears, as water travels along rafters or sarking before dripping through. Blocked gutters cause overflow that saturates fascia boards and seeps into eaves, creating rot and structural damage if left unaddressed.

We use electronic leak detection tools and thermal imaging to trace the water path from the visible stain back to the entry point. This avoids unnecessary roof access and pinpoints the exact repair location. Common causes include cracked roof tiles, deteriorated flashing around chimneys or skylights, and corroded valley gutters in older homes.

Once the fault is located, we explain what's required: resealing flashing, replacing damaged tiles, clearing and resealing gutter joints, or fitting new downpipe connections. We provide a fixed quote for the repair work. After completion, we test the repair by running water through the impacted area and inspecting from inside the roof cavity to confirm no further ingress.

For properties with recurring gutter overflow, we assess fall and capacity. Undersized or incorrectly graded gutters can't handle heavy rainfall, causing water to back up and overflow. We can recommend gutter upgrades or additional downpipes to improve drainage capacity and reduce future leak risk.

Toilet repairs in Arncliffe cover issues including continuous running, weak or incomplete flushing, leaking cisterns, and blocked pans that prevent normal use. This includes replacing cistern internals (flush valves, inlet valves, buttons), resealing pan-to-floor connections, and clearing blockages in the trap or waste line; if the pan is cracked or the waste connection has failed structurally, replacement is usually required and we quote that separately once the fault is confirmed.

A toilet that keeps running after flushing typically has a worn flush valve seal or an incorrectly adjusted inlet valve, allowing water to continuously flow into the bowl. Weak flushing suggests a partially blocked rim feed or insufficient water volume in the cistern. Leaks at the base indicate a failed wax ring or pan collar seal, which can allow sewer gases to escape and damage floor materials if not repaired promptly.

We diagnose the fault by inspecting cistern internals, checking water levels and valve operation, and testing the flush cycle. For worn or damaged components, we replace the flush valve, inlet valve, or button mechanism and adjust water levels to manufacturer specifications. For leaks at the pan base, we remove the toilet, inspect the waste connection and floor flange, replace seals, and reinstall the pan with new fixings.

Blocked toilets are usually cleared with a closet auger, which reaches past the trap to dislodge obstructions without damaging the porcelain. If the blockage is further down the waste line or in the sewer connection, we use a drain snake or CCTV camera to locate and clear it. For recurring blockages, the cause is often a structural issue (collapsed pipe, root intrusion, incorrect fall) that requires further investigation and repair.

After repair, we test the toilet through multiple flush cycles, check for leaks at all connections, and confirm the cistern refills correctly and shuts off without overflow. We clean the work area and explain what caused the fault so you understand when to call for maintenance or replacement in future.
