Plumber Audley

Fixed Today Plumbing has serviced the South Sydney region for over 15 years, with Audley and the Royal National Park surrounds forming part of our regular service area. Our team of NSW licensed plumbers handles everything from routine tap repairs and maintenance through to complex drainage work, hot water installations, and emergency callouts. All attending technicians hold current NSW plumbing licences, and the business is adequately insured with Public Liability and Workers Compensation coverage, which protects you if accidental property damage or a workplace injury occurs during the job.

We operate from localised dispatch points across Sydney, including hubs in West Sydney, to ensure rapid arrival for urgent work. Immediate dispatch means urgent jobs are sent out first and the nearest available technician is allocated based on current bookings and traffic conditions. You'll receive an ETA when you book, and we keep you updated if timing shifts. For standard enquiries, same-day service is typically available; for emergencies, we're contactable 24/7, every day of the year.

Our pricing model is straightforward: you receive a fixed-price quote based on the confirmed scope before any work starts, and the price is set by the job, not by the hour. There are no hidden fees. If the initial assessment reveals additional work beyond the original scope, we explain the options and provide a revised quote before proceeding. You decide once you know what's involved and what it costs. All workmanship is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, and we provide standard manufacturer warranties on parts and appliances.

We take care in occupied homes. Technicians arrive in uniform, can identify themselves at the door, and use drop sheets and boot covers to protect floors and finishes. The work area is cleaned up before leaving, and we test and verify the outcome, whether that's confirming flow rates after clearing a blockage or checking for leaks after a repair. If you need documentation for a landlord, agent, or strata manager, we provide receipts and job records suitable for maintenance logs and compliance filings.

Blocked drains in Audley properties commonly result from tree root intrusion into older terracotta or clay pipes, or from Fat, Oil, and Grease (FOG) buildup in kitchen lines. Root intrusion occurs when fine roots enter microscopic cracks in aging pipes, expand over time, and trap debris, eventually causing a full blockage or structural failure. In kitchen drains, FOG solidifies as it cools, narrowing the pipe diameter and catching solid waste, which builds up into a stubborn obstruction. Bathroom drains can also block due to hair and soap residue accumulation, particularly in older homes where internal drainage slopes may not meet current standards.

Our process starts with a high-definition CCTV drain camera inspection to visually identify the blockage type, depth, and precise location within your property boundary. This avoids guesswork and unnecessary excavation. Once the cause is confirmed, we clear the obstruction using high-pressure water jetting (hydro-jetting), which fires water at controlled pressure to pulverise roots and scour grease from pipe walls, restoring the line to near-full capacity. For metal or plastic foreign objects, mechanical clearing tools may be used instead.

If the camera inspection reveals structural damage, such as collapsed sections, severe root penetration, or extensive corrosion, we explain the options, which may include trenchless drain relining. Pipe relining involves inserting a flexible, resin-saturated liner into the damaged pipe, inflating it, and curing it in place to create a seamless, structurally independent "pipe-within-a-pipe." This method is effective for repairs beneath driveways, pathways, or established landscaping, avoiding the cost and disruption of excavation. Once the blockage is cleared or the repair is completed, we test flow rates and verify the line is functioning before leaving. You receive documentation of the inspection findings and the work performed, suitable for landlords, agents, or strata records.

Roof and gutter leaks in Audley properties often trace back to blocked or damaged gutters, corroded flashing, or cracked roof penetrations around vents and chimneys. When gutters fill with leaf litter and debris, water overflows and backs up under roof tiles or into the fascia, causing internal ceiling leaks and potential structural damage. Corroded valley flashing or poorly sealed penetrations allow rainwater to enter the roof cavity, which can go unnoticed until ceiling stains or mould appear inside the home.

We use specialised leak detection equipment to locate the source of the leak, which may not always be directly above the visible water damage inside. Once the entry point is confirmed, we clear blocked gutters, replace damaged flashing, reseal penetrations, or repair cracked tiles as needed. In some cases, the leak is caused by insufficient fall in the gutter, which allows water to pool and overflow during heavy rain; this requires re-pitching or replacing the affected section.

After the repair is completed, we test the gutter system by running water through it to confirm proper flow and drainage, and we check the repaired area for any residual leaks. The work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship. If you're noticing ceiling stains, water pooling near the roofline, or overflowing gutters during rain, a timely assessment can prevent further damage and costly internal repairs.

Toilet faults in Audley properties commonly include continuous running, weak or incomplete flushing, leaks at the base, or blockages that won't clear with a plunger. A toilet that keeps running after flushing usually indicates a faulty flapper valve or fill valve inside the cistern; water continuously flows into the bowl, wasting hundreds of litres per day and increasing your water bill. Weak flushing is often caused by a blocked rim jet, low water level within the cistern, or a partially blocked trap. Leaks at the base typically trace back to a failed wax seal or pan collar, which allows wastewater to seep onto the floor and can cause subfloor damage and odour issues if not addressed promptly.

We assess the toilet onsite to confirm the fault and determine whether a component replacement, adjustment, or full toilet replacement is the most cost-effective solution. For minor faults such as a worn flapper or fill valve, the repair is straightforward and can usually be completed in one visit. If the pan is cracked, the trap is blocked beyond clearing, or the cistern is corroded, we recommend replacement and explain the options, including water-efficient dual-flush models that meet current WELS (Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards) requirements.

Once the repair or replacement is completed, we test the flush cycle, check for leaks at all connection points, and confirm the toilet is functioning correctly before leaving. The work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship, with manufacturer warranties covering the cistern, pan, and flush mechanism. If you're noticing a persistent leak, weak flush, or foul odour around the toilet, a quick assessment will confirm the cause and the most reliable fix.

Burst or leaking pipes are a plumbing emergency. If left unchecked, they cause significant water damage, structural deterioration, and costly repairs. In Audley properties, burst pipes often occur in older copper or galvanised steel sections that have corroded over time, or in exposed pipes that freeze and rupture during cold snaps. Leaking pipes may present as visible drips under sinks or behind toilets, damp patches on walls or ceilings, or unexplained increases in water usage that suggest a hidden leak within the slab or wall cavity.

Our process starts with isolating the water supply to stop further damage, then using electronic ultrasonic leak detection equipment to locate the exact position of the leak without unnecessary demolition. Once the leak is pinpointed, we assess the pipe condition and determine whether a localised repair (cutting out the damaged section and installing a new fitting) or a more extensive replacement is required. In cases where the leak is within a concrete slab or behind finished walls, we use the least invasive method to access the pipe, repair it, and restore the affected area.

For hidden leaks that have caused internal water damage, we document the findings with photos and a written report suitable for insurance claims, landlords, or strata managers. Once the repair is completed, we test the system under pressure to confirm there are no residual leaks, restore water supply, and verify all fixtures are functioning correctly. The work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship. If you're noticing unexplained dampness, water pooling, or a sudden spike in your water bill, a quick assessment using leak detection equipment can locate the fault and prevent further damage.

General plumbing covers the full range of residential and light commercial work: fixture installations and replacements, bathroom and kitchen renovations, backflow prevention device testing and installation, water filter installations, and routine maintenance to keep your plumbing system functioning reliably. In Audley properties, general plumbing work often involves upgrading aging fixtures, replacing corroded pipework, installing water-efficient tapware and toilets, or reconfiguring plumbing layouts during renovations.

Our process starts with confirming your requirements, assessing the existing plumbing, and explaining what's involved before providing a fixed-price quote. For renovations, we coordinate with builders, tilers, and other trades to ensure plumbing rough-in and final fixture installation align with the project schedule. We install fixtures to manufacturer specifications, test for leaks, verify correct operation, and clean up before leaving. All work complies with AS/NZS 3500 plumbing standards and is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship.

For backflow prevention, we install and test devices where required by Sydney Water to prevent contaminated water from flowing back into the mains supply. This is mandatory for properties with irrigation systems, fire sprinklers, or commercial food preparation areas. We provide the required compliance certificate and lodge it with the relevant authority. If you're planning a renovation, upgrading fixtures, or need routine plumbing maintenance, a quick call will confirm what's involved and what it costs before any work starts.

Fixed Today Plumbing provides commercial plumbing services to businesses, retail premises, industrial sites, and strata properties across Audley and the broader South Sydney region. Commercial plumbing differs from residential work in scale, compliance requirements, and the need to minimise operational downtime. Common commercial plumbing tasks include installing and maintaining commercial hot water systems, clearing blocked drains in high-use facilities, repairing leaking pipes in ceiling voids or plant rooms, and upgrading plumbing systems to meet current Australian Standards and local authority requirements.

We work with business owners, facility managers, and maintenance teams to schedule work around operating hours, peak periods, and site access constraints. For urgent faults such as burst mains, sewer backups, or gas leaks, we're available 24/7 to attend, make the system safe, and provide a detailed scope and quote for the permanent repair. We follow site induction procedures, work safely around staff and customers, and provide documentation suitable for compliance records, insurance claims, and maintenance logs.

All commercial work is completed to Australian Standards and tested before handover. We provide compliance certificates where required (for gas work, backflow prevention, or drainage alterations) and maintain clear communication throughout the job to ensure all parties are informed of progress, timing, and any variations to scope. The work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship. If you're managing a commercial property or business in Audley or the surrounding area and need a reliable plumbing partner, we're equipped to handle both planned maintenance and emergency jobs with the professionalism and documentation commercial environments require.
