Looking for a Specific Type of Plumber in Balgowlah Heights?

Fixed Today Plumbing offers 24/7 emergency plumbing in Balgowlah Heights, dispatching licensed technicians immediately for broken pipes, gas leaks, and blocked drains from nearby hubs across Sydney's Northern Beaches. Urgent jobs are sent out first, with the nearest available plumber allocated to minimise damage and restore safety. This covers immediate threats like active water leaks, gas odours, and complete drainage failures; if the situation is non-urgent once assessed onsite, the technician will explain the scope and provide a fixed-price quote before any work proceeds.

We're a family-owned business with over 15 years operating across Sydney, including the Northern Beaches Council area. All attending technicians are fully licensed plumbers in NSW (Licence 305428C), and we carry full Public Liability and Workers Compensation insurance, which protects you if accidental property damage occurs during the work or in relation to workplace injuries on the job.

Balgowlah Heights sits on an elevated plateau with a mix of Federation-era homes and contemporary builds, many with clay or early PVC drainage that can be affected by tree roots from established gardens. Properties here often have steep driveways or limited street parking, so we confirm access details when you book to ensure the right equipment and vehicle size for the job.

Our pricing is fixed and quoted upfront once the the scope is confirmed onsite. You'll know the cost before starting work, with no hidden fees. The price is by the job, not by the hour, and you can decide whether to proceed once the quote is provided. All workmanship is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty.

For genuine emergencies, active leaks causing property damage, gas smells, or sewage backflowing inside, call 1800 349 338 now. If you're unsure whether the situation is urgent, a quick call will help clarify the next step and get the right technician dispatched.

Comprehensive General Plumbing

Fixed Today Plumbing handles general plumbing across Balgowlah Heights properties, from tap repairs and toilet replacements to new fixture installations and routine maintenance. This includes diagnosis, upfront quoting, and completion to Australian Standards; if inspection reveals additional work is needed (such as hidden pipe corrosion or non-compliant fittings), we explain the options and provide a revised quote before proceeding.

Our technicians arrive in uniform, confirm their identity on arrival, and use drop sheets to protect floors and finished surfaces. We clean up the work area at the end of the job and remove any debris generated by the work. All work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship, with manufacturer warranties applying to supplied parts and appliances.

For Balgowlah Heights homes with heritage fixtures or custom finishes, we take reasonable care around stone benchtops, tiled bathrooms, and timber floors, and confirm scope before touching visible fixtures. If access is restricted by narrow driveways or strata requirements, let us know when booking so we can coordinate timing and vehicle size.

The process is straightforward: we assess the issue onsite, confirm what's involved, provide a fixed-price quote, complete the work, and test the outcome before leaving. You'll know the cost before we start, and you can decide whether to proceed once the scope is confirmed.

Call 1800 349 338 to book a general plumbing visit, or use our online enquiry form if the job is not urgent.

24/7 Emergency Dispatch

We dispatch licensed technicians 24/7 for genuine emergencies. Urgent jobs are sent out first, with the nearest available plumber allocated from local hubs.

Licensed & Fully Insured

All attending technicians are licensed plumbers in NSW (Licence 305428C). We carry full Public Liability and Workers Compensation insurance for your protection.

Swift Response to Hot Water Issues

When a hot water unit fails in a Balgowlah Heights property, Fixed Today Plumbing diagnoses the cause and explains the options, whether repair or replacement is the most cost-effective path. This covers electric storage, continuous flow gas, and heat pump systems; if the unit is beyond economical repair, we'll explain why and provide a fixed-price quote for a new installation before any work proceeds.

Hot water failures often show up as rust-coloured water (indicating a failing sacrificial anode or internal corrosion), fluctuating temperatures (thermostat or element fault), or no hot water at all (gas pilot failure or electrical trip). We assess the system onsite, confirm the fault, and provide a fixed quote once the scope is clear.

New installations must comply with AS/NZS 3500 standards, including mandatory Tempering Valves (limiting water to 50°C at the tap to prevent scalding) and Pressure Relief Valves (preventing tank over-pressurisation). We work with major brands including Rheem, Dux, and Rinnai, and all installations are completed by licensed plumbers and tested prior to leaving.

For properties with limited roof access or steep terrain, we confirm installation logistics before quoting. If the job requires crane access or additional structural work, that's explained upfront and included in the fixed price.

Call 1800 349 338 for same-day hot water assessments, or book online if the situation is not urgent.

Resolving Blocked Drains Quickly

Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Balgowlah Heights by locating the restriction and removing it with the least disruptive method for the pipework. This covers typical internal and external blockages in accessible lines; if inspection shows structural damage or collapse, the options (repair, relining, or excavation) are explained and scope is agreed before any additional work proceeds.

Drainage blockages in older Balgowlah Heights properties often involve tree root intrusion, where fine roots enter cracks in aging terracotta or clay pipes and expand over time, trapping debris and causing flow restrictions. In kitchen lines, fat and grease solidify as they cool, narrowing the pipe and trapping solid waste.

We begin with a high-definition CCTV drain camera inspection to identify the blockage type, depth, and precise location within the property boundary. This allows us to confirm the cause and recommend the right clearing method, high-pressure water jetting for roots and grease, or mechanical methods for specific foreign objects.

High-pressure water jetting uses specialised nozzles to pulverise roots and scour grease from pipe walls, restoring the line to near-full capacity. Once cleared, we test flow and explain what caused the blockage and whether any follow-up work (such as relining damaged sections) is recommended.

For Balgowlah Heights properties with established gardens or large trees near drainage lines, root intrusion is almost expected over time. If the camera inspection reveals structural damage, we'll explain whether relining (a trenchless repair method) is suitable or if excavation is required, and provide a fixed quote before proceeding.

If you're experiencing slow drainage, gurgling sounds, or sewage backing up inside, call 1800 349 338 now for immediate dispatch.

Immediate Fix for Leaking Pipes

A leaking tap or pipe wastes water, increases utility bills, and can cause hidden damage to walls, ceilings, and subfloors if left unaddressed. Fixed Today Plumbing locates the source of the leak, explains the cause, and provides a fixed price quote for replacement or repair before work starts.

Leaks often result from worn washers or O-rings in taps, corroded pipe joints, or pressure fluctuations that stress fittings. In older Balgowlah Heights homes with galvanised steel or early copper plumbing, corrosion can cause pinhole leaks or joint failures over time.

We use electronic ultrasonic leak detection to locate hidden leaks behind walls or under slabs without invasive demolition. Once the leak is found, we confirm the affected area, explain the repair method, and provide a fixed quote. You'll know the cost before we start, and you can decide whether to proceed once scope is confirmed on site.

For properties with finished stone or tiled surfaces, we take care to protect the area and minimise mess. If the leak has caused water damage to surrounding structures, we'll explain what's affected and whether additional work (such as drying or re-sealing) is needed, with a revised quote provided before proceeding.

If you're seeing water stains, hearing dripping sounds, or noticing unexplained water meter movement, call 1800 349 338 for a same-day leak assessment.

Roof and Gutter Protection

Roof and gutter leaks in Balgowlah Heights properties often result from blocked downpipes, corroded flashing, or damaged roof penetrations (such as vent pipes or skylights). Fixed Today Plumbing assesses the affected area, confirms the cause, and provides a fixed-fee quote for replacement or repair before work starts.

Blocked gutters can cause water to overflow and seep into eaves, ceilings, or wall cavities, leading to structural damage and mould growth. We clear debris, test flow, and inspect for damage to gutters, downpipes, and roof flashing.

If the leak is caused by corroded flashing or failed sealant around roof penetrations, we explain the repair method and confirm the scope before proceeding. For properties with heritage roof tiles or custom finishes, we take care to match materials and protect surrounding areas during the work.

All roof and gutter work is completed to meet Australian Standards, and we test the system after repair to confirm water is flowing correctly and no further leaks are present. If structural damage is found during inspection, we'll explain the extent and provide a revised quote before any additional work proceeds.

If you're seeing water stains on ceilings, overflowing gutters, or damp patches on internal walls after rain, call 1800 349 338 to book an assessment.

Shower Repairs Made Simple

Shower leaks, pressure issues, and faulty fixtures disrupt daily routines and can cause hidden water damage to floors and wall cavities. Fixed Today Plumbing diagnoses the fault, explains the cause, and provides a fixed-price quote for repair or replacement before starting work.

Common shower issues include leaking taps (worn cartridges or washers), poor water pressure (blocked shower heads or pressure imbalances), and water pooling on floors (failed waterproofing or drainage issues). We assess the system onsite, confirm the fault, and explain the repair method.

For Balgowlah Heights properties with tiled bathrooms or custom stone finishes, we take care to protect surrounding areas and minimise mess. If the leak is caused by failed waterproofing behind tiles, we'll explain the extent of the work required and provide a revised quote before proceeding.

All shower repairs are completed to AS/NZS 3500 standards, and we test the system after repair to confirm water is flowing correctly and no leaks are present. If the issue requires access to concealed pipework or structural work, that's explained upfront and included in the fixed price.

If you're dealing with a leaking shower, poor pressure, or water damage around the shower base, call 1800 349 338 to book a same-day assessment.

Emergency Response to Burst Pipes

A burst pipe is a genuine emergency. Active water leaks cause property damage quickly, and the priority is getting a licensed and insured plumber onsite to isolate the water supply and stop the flow. Fixed Today Plumbing dispatches 24/7 for burst pipe emergencies in Balgowlah Heights, with the nearest available technician sent out immediately.

Burst pipes often result from pressure surges, corrosion in older pipework, or ground movement that stresses joints. In winter, freezing conditions can cause pipes to crack, though this is less common in Sydney's climate. The first sign is usually a sudden drop in water pressure, pooling water, or a hissing sound from walls or ceilings.

If you can safely access the water meter, turning it off will stop the flow and limit damage while the plumber is on the way. If you can't locate the meter or it's not turning, call 1800 349 338 immediately and we'll guide you through the next action.

We use electronic leak detection to locate the burst section without invasive demolition, then isolate the problem area, repair or replace the damaged pipe, and test the system before leaving. If the burst has caused water damage to surrounding structures, we'll explain the extent and whether additional work (such as drying or re-sealing) is needed, with a revised quote provided before proceeding.

For Balgowlah Heights properties with concealed pipework or finished surfaces, we take care to minimise damage during access and repair. All work is completed to meet Australian Standards and backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty.

If you're dealing with an active water leak, call 1800 349 338 now for immediate dispatch.

Reliable Toilet Repairs

Toilet blockages, leaks, and flushing issues are inconvenient and can cause water damage or hygiene concerns if not addressed quickly. Fixed Today Plumbing diagnoses the fault, explains the cause, and provides a fixed-price quote for repair or replacement before work starts.

Common toilet issues include blockages (foreign objects or excessive paper), leaking cisterns (worn flush valves or inlet valves), and continuous running water (faulty float or overflow). We assess the system onsite, confirm the fault, and explain the repair method.

For blockages, we use mechanical methods or high-pressure jetting to clear the obstruction and restore flow. If the blockage is caused by a deeper drainage issue (such as tree roots in the main sewer line), we'll use a CCTV drain camera to locate the restriction and explain the options before proceeding.

For leaking or running toilets, we replace worn components, test the flush mechanism, and confirm the system is working correctly before leaving. If the toilet is old or the cistern is cracked, we'll explain whether replacement or repair is the most cost-effective option and provide a fixed quote.

All toilet repairs are completed to AS/NZS 3500 standards, and we clean up the work area at the end of the job. If the issue requires access to concealed pipework or structural work, that's explained upfront and included in the fixed price.

If you're dealing with a blocked or leaking toilet, call 1800 349 338 to book a same-day visit.

Gas Fitting: Expertise and Safety

Gas work requires a duly licensed gas fitter and must comply with AS/NZS 5601.1 safety standards. Fixed Today Plumbing provides gas leak detection, appliance installation, and safety checks across Balgowlah Heights properties, with all work completed by licensed gas fitters (Licence 305428C) and tested before departing.

Gas leaks are urgent. If you smell gas (a distinctive "rotten egg" odour caused by added mercaptan), hear hissing sounds near appliances, or notice dying vegetation over underground gas lines, turn off the gas meter if you can safely access it, open windows to ventilate the area, and call 1800 349 338 immediately. Do not use electrical switches, phones, or ignition sources inside the property.

We use specialised combustible gas detectors and thermal imaging to locate leaks behind walls or in sub-floors, then isolate the affected section, repair or replace the damaged fitting, and pressure-test the system to confirm it is gas-tight before recommissioning.

For new gas appliance installations (such as cooktops, ovens, or continuous flow hot water systems), we confirm the existing gas supply is adequate, install the appliance to manufacturer specifications, test for leaks, and issue a compliance certificate where required by local regulations.

All gas work is completed to Australian plumbing standards, and we test the system after repair or installation to confirm safe operation. If structural work or additional pipework is required, that's explained upfront and included in the fixed price.

If you smell gas or need a gas appliance installed, call 1800 349 338 now for immediate dispatch.

Strata Plumbing Solutions

Fixed Today Plumbing provides plumbing services for strata properties in Balgowlah Heights, handling common property maintenance, emergency repairs, and lot-specific work. We coordinate with strata managers, follow site access requirements, and provide documentation suitable for maintenance logs and compliance records.

Strata work often involves clarifying responsibility boundaries between lot owners and the owners corporation. We assess the issue onsite, confirm whether the affected area is common property or within a lot, and explain the scope before proceeding. If the work requires strata approval or affects multiple lots, we'll coordinate with the strata manager and provide the necessary documentation.

Common strata issues include blocked stacks (affecting multiple units), leaking risers (common property pipework), and hot water service failures in shared plant rooms. We diagnose the fault, explain the cause, and provide a fixed-price quote before work starts.

For strata properties with restricted access or specific site induction requirements, let us know when booking so we can coordinate timing and ensure the right technician is allocated. We can work around available time windows, parking restrictions, and occupied unit schedules where practical.

All strata work is completed to Australian plumbing standards, and we provide receipts and invoices suitable for strata records. If the issue requires follow-up work or affects other units, we'll explain the scope and coordinate with the strata manager before proceeding.

If you're a strata manager or lot owner dealing with a plumbing issue, call 1800 349 338 to arrange an assessment.

Dedicated Commercial Services

Fixed Today Plumbing provides commercial plumbing services for businesses in Balgowlah Heights, handling scheduled maintenance, emergency repairs, and compliance work. We understand commercial downtime costs and work to minimise disruption to operations.

Commercial work often involves coordinating with site managers, following induction procedures, and providing documentation suitable for compliance records and maintenance logs. We confirm site requirements when booking and ensure the right technician is allocated for the job.

Common commercial issues include blocked grease traps (requiring regular maintenance to prevent drainage failures), leaking fixtures (causing water waste and increased utility costs), and hot water supply system failures (affecting staff amenities or food service operations). We assess the issue onsite, confirm the scope, and provide a fixed-price quote before we begin.

For commercial properties with specific access windows or operational constraints, we can schedule work outside business hours or coordinate with site managers to minimise disruption. If the work requires shutdown of water or gas supply, we'll explain the timing and coordinate with affected tenants or operations.

All commercial work is completed to Australian plumbing standards, and we provide receipts and invoices suitable for business records. If the issue requires follow-up work or affects multiple tenancies, we'll explain the scope and coordinate with the site manager before proceeding.

Emergency Plumbing FAQs in Balgowlah Heights

Plumbing emergencies are stressful, and getting clear answers quickly helps reduce anxiety. We've compiled the questions Balgowlah Heights residents commonly ask. If your question isn't covered below, call 1800 349 338 anytime.

Should I attempt emergency plumbing repairs myself?

Attempting emergency plumbing repairs yourself can void warranties, cause further damage, and create safety risks. For active leaks, gas smells, or sewage backups, call a fully licensed plumber (NSW) immediately. If you need to limit damage while waiting, turn off the water meter or gas supply if you can safely access it, but do not attempt to diagnose or repair the fault yourself.

What affects the cost of emergency plumbing in Balgowlah Heights?

Emergency plumbing costs vary based on the scope of work, access difficulty, and whether parts are required. Fixed Today Plumbing offers a fixed-price quote once the issue is assessed onsite and scope is confirmed on site. The price is by the job, not by the hour, with no hidden fees. You'll know the cost before work starts, and you can decide whether to proceed once the quote is provided.

What types of emergency plumbing services do you provide?

Fixed Today Plumbing handles all emergency plumbing issues in Balgowlah Heights, including burst pipes, gas leaks, blocked drains, sewage backups, hot water failures, and leaking fixtures. If you're unsure whether the situation is urgent, call 1800 349 338 and we'll help clarify the next step and dispatch the right technician.

Do you need to come onsite for an emergency plumbing quote?

Yes. Emergency plumbing issues require site assessment to confirm the cause, scope, and access requirements before an accurate quote can be provided. Over-the-phone quotes risk inaccuracies and can lead to unexpected costs. We assess the issue onsite, explain what's involved, and provide a fixed-price quote before work starts.

What do plumbers do in an emergency?

In an emergency, a licensed plumbing technician makes the system safe, stops the immediate threat (such as isolating water or gas supply), and prevents further damage. Once the situation is controlled, the plumber assesses the cause, explains the scope of any additional work required, and provides a fixed-price quote before proceeding with permanent repairs.

What should I do if my toilet is running continuously?

A continuously running toilet wastes water and increases utility bills. If you can't turn off the water supply behind the toilet, call 1800 349 338 for a same-day visit. The issue is usually a worn flush valve or faulty float, and the repair is typically straightforward and cost-effective.

How do I manage a leaking shower head until help arrives?

A leaking shower head requires professional repair for a lasting fix. If the leak is causing water damage or wasting significant water, turn off the water supply to the bathroom if you can safely access it. Call 1800 349 338 to book a same-day visit, and we'll assess the cause and provide a fixed-fee quote for repair or replacement.

Do you service all of Balgowlah Heights?

Yes. Fixed Today Plumbing services all of Balgowlah Heights and the surrounding Northern Beaches Council area, dispatching from nearby hubs across Sydney. We're positioned to respond quickly to emergencies, with urgent jobs sent out first and the nearest available technician allocated to minimise response time.

Can you handle blocked drains in an emergency?

Yes. Blocked drains are a common emergency, especially when sewage is backing up inside or drainage is completely blocked. Fixed Today Plumbing uses high-definition CCTV drain cameras and high-pressure water jetting to locate and clear the blockage quickly, restoring flow and preventing property damage. Call 1800 349 338 for immediate dispatch.

How quickly can you arrive for an emergency in Balgowlah Heights?

Response times depend on current job load, traffic conditions, and the location of the nearest available technician. We dispatch from local hubs across Sydney's Northern Beaches, and urgent jobs are sent out first. When you call 1800 349 338, we'll provide an ETA once the technician is dispatched and keep you updated if timing changes.
