Blocked Drains Ashbury

When a pipe bursts at an Ashbury property, water pressure drops suddenly, you may hear hissing or running water inside walls or under floors, and in severe cases water pools or floods the affected area. Burst pipes in older properties often trace back to corrosion in galvanised steel or cast iron, while modern PVC and copper lines can fail due to ground movement, frost damage, or accidental impact during landscaping or construction work.

If you suspect a ruptured pipe, turn off the water at the main shut-off valve to stop further damage, then contact us for immediate dispatch. Our technicians carry electronic leak detection equipment to pinpoint the exact location of the burst without invasive exploratory work. Once located, we assess whether the damage is localised to a short section or part of a broader deterioration pattern, then explain the repair options and provide a fixed-price quote.

For isolated bursts in accessible sections, we can often replace the damaged length with new pipework and pressure-test the repair before restoring supply. Where excavation would disrupt landscaping, driveways, or internal finishes, pipe relining offers a trenchless alternative: a resin-saturated liner is inserted into the existing pipe, inflated, and cured to form a seamless, structurally independent pipe-within-a-pipe. This method is effective for PVC, clay, cast iron, and concrete pipes, provided the original structure hasn't completely collapsed.

After repair or relining, we pressure-test the line to confirm it's watertight, restore water supply, and verify flow and pressure at fixtures. We clean up the work area, remove debris, and document the repair for your records. All broken pipe repairs are backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship.

Fixed Today Plumbing provides licensed gas fitting services for Ashbury properties, covering new gas point installations, appliance connections, gas leak detection and repair, and maintenance on gas hot water systems and heating appliances. All gas work is performed by licensed NSW gas fitters and complies with AS/NZS 5601.1 safety standards.

When a gas leak is suspected, the distinctive "rotten egg" odour is the most obvious warning sign. Other indicators include hissing sounds near appliances, dying vegetation over underground gas lines, or unusual soot buildup on burners. If you smell gas, turn off the gas supply at the meter if safe to do so, ventilate the area, avoid using electrical switches or open flames, and contact us immediately for emergency dispatch.

Gas leak detection involves specialised equipment including combustible gas detectors and thermal imaging to identify leaks behind walls, under floors, or in sub-floor spaces. Once located, we assess the cause, whether it's a corroded fitting, damaged pipe, or loose connection, and explain the repair options. All repaired or altered gas installations undergo a pressure loss test to confirm the system is gas-tight before being recommissioned, and a compliance certificate is issued where required by regulation.

For new gas point installations or appliance connections, we confirm the required gas load, check that the existing supply line has adequate capacity, and install the new point or appliance to code. This includes connecting gas cooktops, ovens, heaters, and hot water systems, with all work tested and documented. We also provide maintenance and servicing for gas hot water systems, including burner cleaning, thermocouple replacement, and efficiency checks.

We explain the scope in plain English before starting work, provide photos or explanations of findings when helpful, and confirm inclusions and exclusions in the quote before proceeding.

Our pricing is fixed and upfront, based on the confirmed scope after inspection. The price is by the job, not by the hour, and there are no hidden fees added at the end. If diagnostics indicate escalation beyond the original scope, we explain the options and confirm the revised quote before any additional work proceeds. We provide receipts and invoices suitable for landlords, agents, and business records, and document work completed and tests performed where relevant.

We can work around access constraints such as strata rules, restricted parking, or booking windows when disclosed at the time of booking. We coordinate with property managers, strata committees, or tenants for access, and follow entry instructions carefully. In occupied homes, we use drop sheets or protective covers to protect floors and surfaces, wear boot covers when requested, and clean up the work area at the end of the job.

Same-day service is available for most standard plumbing and drainage jobs, and we can often resolve straightforward blockages or repairs on the first visit when parts and access allow.
