Emergency Plumber Blocked Drains

Fixed Today Plumbing handles general plumbing, drainage, and gas work in Austral from the West Sydney dispatch hub, reaching most of the southwestern suburbs within typical response windows. Austral's housing stock includes a mix of older homes built during the 1970s and 1980s and newer master-planned developments from the 2000s onwards, which means the pipes, fixtures, and drainage systems vary considerably across the area. Older terracotta or clay drainage lines can deteriorate over time or suffer root intrusion from established trees, while more recent PVC installations tend to hold up better but still require regular maintenance and assessment when blockages or leaks occur.

We're licensed in NSW for plumbing, drainage, and gas fitting (Licence 305428C), and we're fully insured with Public Liability and Workers Compensation. That means if accidental property damage occurs during the work, you're protected. If a workplace injury happens on the job, that's covered too. It's not just paperwork; it's practical protection for you and your home.

Our Austral work covers blocked drains, leaking taps, toilet repairs, hot water installations, burst pipe repairs, gas leak detection, and trenchless drain relining. We also handle bathroom renovations, roof and gutter work, and 24/7 urgent callouts when something urgent comes up. Every job starts with an onsite assessment to confirm what's needed, followed by a fixed-price quote before any work begins. You decide once the scope and price are clear.

Austral residents often deal with blocked kitchen drains caused by grease buildup, bathroom sink clogs from soap scum and hair, and toilet blockages that won't clear with a plunger. We've also seen hot water systems fail due to sediment buildup or corroded anode rods, and burst pipes caused by high water pressure or shifting soil. These aren't unusual problems, but they do need proper assessment and the right tools to fix them properly the first time.

Trusted Local Plumber for Austral Residents

We're a family-owned plumbing company that's been operating in Sydney for over 15 years, with a near-perfect 5-star rating based on 800+ verified customer reviews. Our team includes licensed master plumbers and gas fitters who've completed drainage repairs, hot water installations, and bathroom renovations right across the region, including work in Castle Hill, Chiswick, and Carlingford.

In Austral, we've handled blocked drains in older homes with clay pipes, hot water system replacements in newer estates, and gas appliance installations for both residential and commercial properties. That experience means we're familiar with the range of plumbing systems across the area, from original 1970s copper and galvanised steel to modern PVC and composite materials.

All our technicians are licensed plumbers in NSW, and they arrive in uniform with police checks and background checks completed. We wear boot covers in homes when requested, use drop sheets to protect floors and surfaces, and clean up the work area before departing. We explain what we're doing before starting, confirm access permissions at the door, and provide clear arrival communication including ETA updates where possible.

Our pricing is fixed and upfront, based on the confirmed scope of work. The price is by the job, not by the hour, and the quote is valid for one month from the date issued. There are no hidden costs. Once you've received the quote and confirmed the scope, the price won't change unless you ask for additional work. We provide receipts and invoices suitable for landlords, agents, and business records, and we can document work completed and tests performed where relevant.

We're available 24/7 for emergencies, with immediate dispatch for urgent jobs. Same-day service is available for all standard plumbing and gas enquiries. You can book an appointment, send us a message, or visit our website to get started.

Here are ten plumbing tasks where professional help is the safer, more reliable option:

  • Burst pipe repairs: High water pressure, corrosion, or shifting soil can cause pipes to rupture, and the damage escalates quickly.
  • Gas leak detection and repairs: Gas work must be handled by licensed gas fitters due to safety and legal requirements.
  • Hot water system installations: Tempering valves, pressure relief valves, and compliance with AS/NZS 3500 standards are mandatory.
  • Sewer line blockages: Tree roots, collapsed pipes, or structural damage require CCTV inspection and high-pressure jetting.
  • Trenchless pipe relining: This involves inserting and curing a resin liner inside damaged pipes, which requires specialised equipment.
  • Toilet replacements: Incorrect sealing or levelling can cause leaks, water damage, and ongoing issues.
  • Drainage compliance work: Sydney Water jurisdiction applies in Austral, and compliance certificates are required for regulated drainage work.
  • Backflow prevention device installation: These devices protect the water supply from contamination and must be installed and tested by licensed plumbers.
  • Roof and gutter plumbing: Poor installation or debris blockages can cause water to back up and damage ceilings, walls, and foundations.
  • Leak detection behind walls or under slabs: Electronic ultrasonic equipment and thermal imaging are needed to locate hidden leaks without invasive demolition.

Fixed Pricing Before Work Starts

We provide a fixed-price quote once scope is clarified, and the price doesn't change unless you request additional work. No surprises at the end of the job.

Near-Perfect Customer Satisfaction

Our near-perfect 5-star rating based on 800+ verified reviews reflects our focus on clear communication, tidy work areas, and outcomes that last.

24/7 Emergency Dispatch

Urgent jobs are sent out first from our West Sydney hub, with immediate dispatch for emergencies and same-day availability for standard bookings.

Licensed, Insured, and Vetted

All technicians are properly licensed plumbers in NSW, and we're comprehensively insured with Public Liability and Workers Compensation. Police checks and background checks are completed.

Leaking Tap Repairs

A dripping tap in Austral can signal a worn washer, a damaged O-ring, or a failing cartridge inside the tap body. If the drip is constant, it's wasting water and pushing up your utility bills. In some cases, the leak isn't just at the tap; it can trace back to a loose or corroded pipe connection behind the wall.

We start with an onsite assessment to confirm where the water is coming from. That might involve checking the tap internals, inspecting the pipe connections, and testing water pressure to rule out other causes. Once we've identified the source, we explain what's needed and provide a fixed-price quote before starting the repair.

For simple washer or cartridge replacements, the work is usually straightforward. If the leak is caused by pipe corrosion or high water pressure, we'll explain the options and confirm the scope before proceeding. Attempting DIY repairs without the right tools or replacement parts can damage the tap body or strip the valve seat, which often makes the problem worse and more expensive to fix.

Our leak detection service uses electronic ultrasonic equipment to locate hidden leaks behind walls or under floors, so we can pinpoint the exact location without unnecessary demolition. Once the repair is complete, we test the tap to confirm the leak has stopped and check for any other issues in the area.

Blocked and Leaking Toilets

When a toilet in Austral won't flush properly, keeps running after flushing, or leaks water onto the floor, the cause is usually a blocked trap, a faulty flapper valve, a cracked cistern, or a damaged wax seal at the base. In older homes, the internal cistern components can wear out over time, and in newer properties, incorrect installation or poor-quality parts can cause problems early.

We assess the toilet onsite to confirm what's causing the issue. That might involve checking the flapper and fill valve inside the cistern, inspecting the trap for blockages, or testing the seal at the base for leaks. If the toilet bowl is cracked or the cistern is beyond repair, we'll explain the options and provide a quote for a replacement suite.

Our toilet repair service covers cistern component replacements, trap clearing, seal repairs, and full toilet suite installations. We can also assist with bathroom renovations if you're upgrading fixtures or reconfiguring the layout. All work is completed to Australian Standards, and we test the toilet after the repair to confirm it flushes properly and the seal is watertight.

If you're planning a bathroom renovation or need a toilet replaced, we can provide a free quote based on the confirmed scope. We'll discuss fixture options, installation requirements, and any compliance considerations before starting the work. Speak to our team about your toilet repair or replacement needs, and we'll arrange an assessment.

Blocked Drains

Drainage blockages in Austral typically occur in kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, showers, and external sewer lines. Kitchen drains often clog due to grease, oil, and food scraps that solidify as they cool, while bathroom drains accumulate soap scum, hair, and toothpaste residue over time. External sewer lines can block due to tree root intrusion, especially in older properties with clay or terracotta pipes.

When a drain is blocked, water drains slowly, backs up into the fixture, or emits unpleasant odours. In severe cases, sewage can overflow from inspection points or gully traps. We use high-definition CCTV drain cameras to inspect the line and identify the blockage type, depth, and location. That allows us to choose the most effective clearing method without guesswork.

For most blockages, we use high-pressure water jetting (hydro-jetting) to scour grease, roots, and debris from the pipe walls. The water pressure is adjusted based on the pipe material and condition, so we don't damage the line. If the camera inspection shows structural damage, cracks, or a collapsed section, we explain the options and confirm the scope before proceeding with repairs or relining.

If you're experiencing a clogged drain emergency, contact us immediately. We offer 24/7 emergency dispatch for urgent blockages, and same-day service is available for standard drain clearing. Once the blockage is cleared, we test the drain to confirm flow is restored and provide recommendations for ongoing maintenance if needed.

Hot Water Systems

Hot water system failures in Austral often present as fluctuating water temperatures, insufficient hot water supply, rust-coloured water, or complete loss of hot water. These symptoms can indicate a failing sacrificial anode rod, sediment buildup inside the tank, a faulty thermostat, or a deteriorating heating element in electric systems. In gas continuous flow units, the issue might be a blocked burner, a failing ignition system, or a faulty gas valve.

We assess the system onsite to confirm the cause. That includes checking the anode rod condition, inspecting the tank for corrosion, testing the thermostat and heating elements, and measuring water temperature at the tap. For gas systems, we check the burner flame pattern, test the gas pressure, and inspect the flue for blockages. Once we've identified the fault, we explain what's needed and provide a fixed-price quote for the repair or replacement.

Our hot water unit service covers repairs, installations, and annual maintenance for electric storage, gas storage, gas continuous flow, and heat pump systems. We work with major brands including Rheem, Dux, and Rinnai. All installations include mandatory Tempering Valves (limiting water to 50°C at the tap to prevent scalding) and Pressure Relief Valves (preventing tank over-pressurization), as required by AS/NZS 3500 standards.

If your hot water system is approaching the end of its expected lifespan, or if inspection shows significant corrosion or structural issues, we'll discuss replacement options and confirm the scope before proceeding. We can also provide advice on system sizing, energy efficiency, and ongoing maintenance to extend the life of the unit.

Overflowing Sewer and Stormwater Drains

Sewer and stormwater overflows in Austral are often caused by tree root intrusion, fat and grease buildup, or structural damage to the pipe. Roots from established trees seek moisture and nutrients, entering the pipe through microscopic cracks and expanding over time. Once inside, they trap debris and cause blockages. Fat, oil, and grease poured down kitchen sinks solidify as they cool, creating stubborn obstructions that narrow the pipe diameter.

When a sewer or stormwater line overflows, the first step is to locate the blockage and assess the pipe condition. We use CCTV drain cameras to inspect the line from the inside, identifying the blockage type, depth, and any structural damage such as cracks, offset joints, or collapsed sections. That allows us to choose the right clearing method and confirm whether repairs are needed.

For root intrusions and grease blockages, we use high-pressure water jetting to remove the obstruction and restore flow. The water pressure is adjusted based on the pipe material and condition, so we don't cause further damage. If the camera inspection reveals cracks or structural issues, we explain the options and provide a quote for repairs or trenchless pipe lining before proceeding.

All sewer work in Austral falls under Sydney Water's jurisdiction, and compliance certificates are issued where required. Once the blockage is cleared and any repairs are completed, we test the line to confirm flow is restored and provide recommendations for ongoing maintenance if needed.

Burst Pipe Repairs

A ruptured pipe in Austral is usually caused by high water pressure, corrosion, root intrusion, shifting soil, or freezing temperatures during cold snaps. Older galvanised steel and copper pipes are particularly susceptible to corrosion over time, while PVC pipes can crack if exposed to UV light or subjected to ground movement. When a pipe bursts, water escapes under pressure, causing immediate property damage and wasting large volumes of water.

If a pipe bursts, the first priority is to isolate the water supply to stop the flow and limit damage. The main water shutoff valve is usually located near the water meter at the front of the property. Once the water is isolated, contact us for an emergency callout. We're available 24/7, with immediate dispatch for urgent situations.

Onsite, we locate the burst section, assess the pipe condition, and confirm the extent of the damage. If the burst is isolated to a small section, we can often replace that section without disturbing the entire line. If the pipe shows widespread corrosion or deterioration, we'll explain the options and provide a quote for a more extensive repair or replacement.

Our burst pipe repair service covers emergency isolation, pipe section replacement, and full-line replacements where needed. We test the system after the repair to confirm the leak has stopped and water pressure is restored. All work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship.

Gas Plumbing

Gas work in Austral must be handled by licensed gas fitters due to safety and legal requirements. Gas leaks, faulty installations, and incorrectly connected appliances pose serious risks, including fire, explosion, and carbon monoxide poisoning. If you smell gas (a distinctive "rotten egg" odour), hear hissing near appliances, or notice dying vegetation over underground gas lines, evacuate the property immediately and call us from a safe location.

Our licensed gas fitting service covers gas leakage detection, appliance installation and disconnection, gas line repairs, and new gas connections. We use combustible gas detectors and thermal imaging to locate leaks behind walls or in sub-floors, and we conduct pressure loss tests to confirm the system is gas-tight before recommissioning.

All gas installations in NSW must comply with AS/NZS 5601.1 safety standards, and a compliance certificate is issued upon completion to verify the installation meets regulatory requirements. We work with gas hot water systems, cooktops, ovens, heaters, and commercial appliances, and we can advise on appliance sizing, ventilation requirements, and ongoing maintenance.

If you're planning to install a gas appliance or need an existing gas system checked for safety, contact us to arrange an assessment. We provide same-day service for all gas plumbing needs, and emergency dispatch is available 24/7 for possible gas leaks.

Pipe Relining

Trenchless drain relining allows us to repair damaged pipes without excavating the entire line. This method is particularly useful in Austral when the damaged section is beneath driveways, landscaping, or permanent structures where traditional excavation would be costly and disruptive. The process involves inserting a flexible, resin-saturated liner into the existing damaged pipe, then inflating and curing it to create a seamless, structurally independent "pipe-within-a-pipe."

Pipe relining is effective for PVC, clay, cast iron, and concrete pipes, provided the original structure hasn't completely collapsed. We use drain inspection cameras to inspect the pipe and confirm it's suitable for relining. If the pipe is structurally sound enough to support the liner, we clean the line using high-pressure water jetting, insert the liner, inflate it to fit the pipe diameter, and cure it using hot water or UV light.

Our pipe relining service covers sewer lines, stormwater drains, and internal drainage pipes. The relined section is typically stronger and more durable than the original pipe, and the work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship. Once the liner is cured, we conduct a final CCTV inspection to confirm the repair is complete and the line is clear.

If you're dealing with recurring blockages, slow drainage, or known pipe damage, contact us to arrange a CCTV check. We'll confirm whether relining is suitable for your situation and provide a fixed-price quote based on the confirmed scope.

Roof and Gutter Installations

Roof and gutter systems in Austral protect your property from water damage during heavy rain. When gutters are blocked with leaves, debris, or bird nests, water can overflow and damage fascias, soffits, and external walls. In severe cases, water can back up under roof tiles or into the ceiling cavity, causing internal water damage and mould growth.

Guttering systems can also fail due to poor installation, rust, or general wear and tear. Sagging gutters, loose brackets, and corroded sections reduce the system's effectiveness and increase the risk of overflow. We assess the system onsite to confirm the condition, clear any blockages, and identify any sections that need repair or replacement.

Our roof plumbing service covers gutter clearing, gutter repairs, downpipe replacements, and full gutter installations. We also inspect roof flashings, valley gutters, and box gutters to confirm they're watertight and functioning properly. If repairs are needed, we explain the options and provide a fixed-price quote before starting the work.

Regular gutter maintenance reduces the risk of water damage and extends the life of the system. If you're experiencing gutter overflows, leaks, or visible rust, contact us to arrange an assessment. We'll confirm what's needed and provide a quote based on the confirmed scope.

Emergency Plumbing

Plumbing emergencies in Austral don't usually happen without warning. Most ruptured pipes, hot water failures, and severe blockages show early signs that are either missed or dismissed as minor issues. When an emergency does occur, the priority is to limit damage, isolate the affected system, and arrange for a licensed plumbing specialist to assess the situation and make it safe.

If a pipe bursts, isolate the water supply at the main shutoff valve near the meter. If you smell gas, evacuate immediately and call us from a safe location. If a drain is backing up or a toilet is overflowing, stop using the affected fixtures and contact us for an emergency callout. Do not attempt to force blockages or operate valves if you're unsure; that can make the problem worse.

Our 24/7 emergency plumbing service covers ruptured pipes, gas leaks, severe blockages, hot water failures, and any situation where immediate attention is needed to prevent further damage. Urgent jobs are sent out first from our West Sydney hub, and we provide ETA updates when booking. Once onsite, we assess the situation, confirm the scope, and provide a fixed-price quote before starting the work.

We also offer preventative maintenance for domestic and commercial properties in Austral. Regular inspections, drain cleaning, and hot water service servicing can identify potential issues before they escalate into emergencies. If you'd like to arrange a maintenance visit or need emergency assistance, contact us. Our team is available 24/7, and we're ready to respond when you need us.

Plumbing FAQ's in Austral

Hiring a plumber can feel stressful, especially when something urgent comes up. We've collated the questions Austral residents ask most frequently to save you time. If we don't address your question below, our phone line is always open.

Should I hire a professional or do it myself?

Minor tasks like replacing a tap washer or clearing a simple hair clog can sometimes be handled with a tutorial and basic tools. But plumbing work often involves hidden complications, and mistakes can void warranties, cause water damage, or fail building inspections. Gas plumbing, hot water installations, and sewer work must be handled by licensed professionals due to safety and legal requirements. If you're unsure, a quick call can confirm whether the job needs a licensed plumbing professional.

How much does plumbing cost in Austral?

The cost depends on the scope, complexity, and access. Simple repairs like washer replacements or tap cartridge changes are typically less expensive than broken pipe repairs, hot water unit replacements, or trenchless pipe relining. We provide a fixed-price quote once the scope is confirmed onsite onsite, and the price doesn't change unless you request additional work. There are no hidden costs. The quote includes labour, parts, diagnostic fees, and any required documentation where required.

What type of plumbing can be done in Austral?

We handle blocked drains, sinks, toilets, and sewer lines, hot water supply service repairs and installations, leaking taps, broken pipe repairs, gas fitting, roof and gutter work, trenchless pipe relining, and bathroom renovations. We also offer leak identification, backflow prevention device installation, and 24/7 emergency service calls for urgent situations.

Do you come to our house to quote?

Yes. All jobs in the 2179 postcode are personally assessed onsite before we provide a fixed-price quote. Providing accurate pricing over the phone is risky without confirming the scope, access, and existing system condition. We'll come out, assess the situation, explain what's needed, and provide a quote before any work starts. You decide once the scope and price are clear.

What do plumbers do?

Licensed plumbers are tradespeople trained to work on water supply, drainage, gas, and sanitation systems. They install, repair, and maintain pipes, fittings, fixtures, hot water systems, gas lines, and drainage infrastructure. They're also trained to assess system faults, confirm compliance with Australian Standards, and provide advice on ongoing maintenance and upgrades.

How do I fix a running toilet?

A running toilet is usually caused by a leaky flapper valve, a faulty fill valve, or an overflow pipe set at the wrong height. If you're comfortable checking inside the cistern, you might identify the issue. But if you're not sure, or if the problem persists after replacing the flapper, contact us. We'll assess the toilet onsite, confirm the cause, and provide a flat-rate quote for the repair.

How do I solve a leaking shower?

A leaking shower can be caused by a worn washer in the tap, a damaged cartridge, a failing grout seal, or a leak behind the wall. Replacing a showerhead is inexpensive, but if the leak is coming from the wall or floor, it helps to conduct a leak location assessment to identify the source. If left unaddressed, hidden leaks can cause structural damage and mould growth. Contact us to arrange an onsite assessment and we'll confirm the cause and explain the options.

Do you service the entire Austral area?

Yes. We service the entire 2179 postcode, and we've completed plumbing projects right across the Sydney region. Our West Sydney dispatch hub allows us to reach most of the southwestern suburbs within typical response windows, and we're available 24/7 for emergencies.

Are you able to unblock drains in Austral?

Yes. We have a team of blocked drain specialists trained to clear blockages using CCTV drain cameras and high-pressure jetting. We also offer trenchless drain relining for damaged or collapsed sections. If you're experiencing slow drainage, backups, or unpleasant odours, contact us to arrange an assessment. We'll confirm the cause and provide a flat-rate quote for the clearing and any repairs needed.

How fast can you come to Austral?

Urgent jobs are sent out first from our West Sydney hub, with immediate dispatch for emergencies. For standard plumbing and commercial work, we'll arrive at your doorstep as soon as possible based on current bookings and traffic conditions. It's always best to call and discuss the issue beforehand so we can bring the right equipment and provide an accurate ETA.
