Plumber Avalon Beach

Fixed Today Plumbing is a family-owned business serving Avalon Beach and the Northern Beaches with licensed plumbing, drainage, and gas fitting. We've been operating across Sydney for over 15 years, building a near-perfect 5-star rating from more than 800 verified customer reviews. That reputation reflects our commitment to clear communication, transparent pricing, and permanent solutions, not quick fixes that fail months later.

Our technicians are NSW-licensed plumbers, arrive in uniform, and carry police and background checks for your added reassurance. We explain what we're doing before we start, use drop sheets and boot covers to protect your floors, and clean up the work area when we're finished. If you have security-sensitive requests or specific entry instructions, we can accommodate them.

We provide upfront, fixed pricing before any work begins. That quote is valid for one month and includes everything needed to complete the job as scoped, no surprise charges at the end. For many service areas, there's no call-out fee; check the call-out fee status for Avalon Beach when you book. Mention "web55" when contacting us, and you'll receive $55 off (limited to one per person on paying jobs).

All our work is backed by a Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship, meaning we stand by the quality of what we do. Manufacturer warranties apply to all parts and appliances installed. If something isn't right, we'll return and make it right—that's the accountability that comes with our warranty.

Whether you need general plumbing in Wahroonga, help with blocked drains in Milsons Point, emergency plumbing in Neutral Bay, gas fitting in Normanhurst, or a new water heater in Forestville, our team operates from localised dispatch points across Sydney to reduce response times and reach you quickly when it matters.

Drainage blockages in Avalon Beach typically result from tree root intrusion in older clay pipes or Fat, Oil, and Grease (FOG) accumulation in kitchen lines. We locate the blockage using high-definition camera inspection equipment, identify the cause and depth, then clear it using high-pressure jetting (hydro-jetting) or mechanical tools depending on what's blocking the line. If the camera reveals structural damage, such as collapsed pipe sections or severe root penetration, we explain the repair options and provide a fixed quote for the additional work once scope is clarified.

In practice, root intrusion is common in established streets where mature trees are close to the property boundary. Fine roots enter microscopic cracks in aging terracotta pipes, expand over time, and trap debris. FOG blockages occur when cooking fats cool and solidify inside the pipe, narrowing the diameter and trapping solid waste. Both situations are cleared effectively with hydro-jetting, which uses specialised nozzles firing water at 3,000 to 5,000 PSI to pulverise roots and scour grease from pipe walls.

Once the line is cleared, we verify flow using the camera and test water discharge to confirm the blockage is fully removed. If the inspection shows the pipe is structurally sound, the job is complete. If there's damage, we discuss whether a localised repair or trenchless pipe lining is the most practical solution, explain what each option involves, and quote the work before proceeding.

All blocked drain work follows our standard process: assess, explain, quote, clear, verify. You'll know what caused it, what we did, and whether further work is recommended before departing.

Roof and gutter leaks in Avalon Beach often occur during heavy rain when blocked downpipes cause water to overflow and seep into roof cavities or fascia boards. We inspect the roof plumbing system to identify the source, whether it's a blocked gutter, damaged flashing, or deteriorated valley seals, then clear blockages, repair leaks, and verify water flows correctly off the roof. This covers typical residential gutter and downpipe systems; if inspection reveals structural damage to roof sheeting or timber framing, we explain what's involved and provide a fixed quote for the additional scope.

Coastal properties near Avalon Beach are exposed to salt air and wind-driven debris, which can corrode metal gutters and block downpipes with leaves and sand. In practice, most roof leaks we see result from overflow rather than holes in the roof itself. Once gutters are cleared and water can flow freely, the leak stops.

We clear gutters and downpipes using high-pressure water jetting or manual removal, repair damaged sections, and test water flow during or immediately after the next rain event where practical. If flashing or valley seals need replacement, we use materials suited to the coastal environment and ensure watertight joins.

Regular gutter clearing reduces the risk of overflow and water damage. If you're in an area with established trees or near the beach, scheduling inspections before storm season is a practical way to prevent emergency callouts during heavy weather.

Toilet faults in Avalon Beach typically involve a running cistern (caused by a faulty flush valve or fill valve), a blocked bowl (caused by excessive paper or foreign objects), or a leak at the base (caused by a deteriorated wax seal). We assess the toilet onsite, identify the failing component, and provide a fixed-price quote for the repair. This covers typical single and dual-flush toilets in residential properties; if inspection reveals a cracked pan or cistern that cannot be repaired, we explain replacement options and quote the new fixture once scope is finalised.

A running toilet wastes hundreds of litres of water per day and often results from a worn flapper valve inside the cistern that no longer seals properly. In dual-flush systems, the flush button mechanism can wear out and fail to reset, causing continuous water flow. We carry common replacement parts in our fully stocked vehicles, so most toilet repairs are completed on the first visit.

For blockages, we use manual augers or hydro-jetting to clear the obstruction without damaging the porcelain. If the blockage is deeper in the sewer line, we use CCTV cameras to locate it and clear it using the appropriate method. Once cleared, we test the flush to confirm normal flow and check for any remaining restrictions.

Leaks at the base usually indicate a failed wax seal between the pan and the waste pipe. We lift the toilet, replace the seal, and re-secure the pan to the floor, ensuring a watertight connection. All work is tested before departing, and the repair is backed by our workmanship warranty.

A ruptured pipe in Avalon Beach is often caused by corrosion in older galvanised steel or copper pipes, ground movement stressing pipe joints, or sudden pressure surges in the water main. Active leaks require immediate action to prevent water damage to flooring, walls, and structural timber. We locate the burst section using electronic ultrasonic leak testing equipment, isolate the water supply to stop the leak, then repair or replace the damaged pipe and restore water flow. This covers typical residential water supply lines; if the burst involves the water main outside the property boundary, we explain the scope and liaise with Sydney Water where needed.

In practice, most burst pipes we attend in older properties involve corroded sections that have weakened over decades of use. In newer properties, bursts often occur at poorly soldered joints or where pipes are inadequately supported and vibrate under pressure. We assess the surrounding pipework to identify whether the burst is an isolated failure or part of a broader deterioration pattern.

Once the leak is located and isolated, we cut out the damaged section and install a new pipe segment using the appropriate material; copper for hot water lines, PEX or copper for cold water, depending on the existing system. All joins are pressure-tested before restoring supply, and we verify there are no additional leaks at nearby joints.

If the burst caused water damage to walls, ceilings, or floors, we can provide documentation of the work completed for insurance claims. The repair is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship, so if the join fails, we'll return and fix it without additional charge.

General plumbing help in Avalon Beach covers the routine installations and repairs that keep homes functioning: fixing leaking toilets, adjusting water pressure, installing or repairing pipes and taps, replacing fixtures, and addressing bathroom leaks. We assess the issue onsite using drain inspection cameras or leak detection tools where needed, explain what's required, and provide a fixed-price quote before starting work.

Our general plumbing services include:

• Bathroom fixture installations and replacements
• Shower and bath renovations
• Toilet cistern repairs and new toilet installations
• Securing loose fittings and fixtures
• Water pressure adjustments and flow testing
• Pipe repairs and like-for-like replacements for leaking or corroded sections

While we handle complex emergency work and large-scale installations, our skills for minor repairs are equally thorough. Every job, whether it's replacing a tap washer or installing a new bathroom, follows the same process: assess, explain, quote, complete, verify. We don't treat small jobs as less important; the same care and workmanship warranty applies regardless of job size.

Regular plumbing inspections help identify potential issues before they become emergencies. If you're in an older property with original fixtures or pipework, scheduling periodic checks can catch worn components, slow leaks, or deteriorating seals early, reducing the risk of costly water damage or sudden failures.

All our general plumbing work is completed by licensed plumbers, backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship, and tested before we leave to confirm everything functions as intended.
