Emergency Plumber Blocked Drains

Fixed Today Plumbing provides licensed plumbing, drainage and gas fitting services in Balmain, NSW 2041 (Inner West), with immediate dispatch for emergencies and same-day service available for standard enquiries. Jobs in Balmain often involve older homes and renovations, so scope is verified onsite before pricing is finalised. All attending technicians are properly licensed plumbers in NSW, and the business is fully insured (Public Liability and Workers Compensation).

Work starts with a detailed onsite assessment using specialised diagnostic tools where needed, such as CCTV drain cameras for blockages and electronic ultrasonic leak detection for hidden bursts. Once the affected area and access are confirmed, a fixed-price quote is provided before we begin, with no hidden costs. After repair or installation, the system is tested and the work area is cleaned up so you can see the result before the plumber leaves.

Balmain has a mix of historic cottages, Victorian-era terraces, and renovated properties. That variety can affect access points, pipework condition, and where the problem sits (inside the home or in external lines). Where drainage work involves regulated requirements, compliance documentation is provided where required for regulated work, which is relevant for Sydney properties that fall under Sydney Water standards.

Fixed Today Plumbing is a family-owned and operated plumbing company, servicing Sydney for over 15+ years. To book, call 1800 349 338 or email jobs@fixedtoday.com.au. There is no call-out fee for many service areas (check specific suburb pages), so it is worth confirming the call-out fee status for Balmain when you book.

Common reasons Balmain customers book a plumber include:

  • Blocked drains, overflowing gully traps, and slow sinks
  • Hot water failures (gas, electric, or solar)
  • Burst pipes and hidden leaks causing damp patches
  • Gas leaks and new gas connections that require a licensed gas fitter

Expert Plumbing Solutions for Balmain Residents

Plumbing work in Balmain is usually straightforward once the cause is confirmed, but small problems can turn into property damage if they are ignored. Fixed Today Plumbing handles commercial and domestic plumbing across Sydney, including the Inner West, with same day service available for standard jobs and immediate dispatch for emergencies. This covers typical repairs and like-for-like replacements in accessible areas, and if inspection shows a larger issue, options are explained and quoted once scope is confirmed onsite.

What typically happens is that the first symptom is not the whole story. A dripping tap can be a worn component, but it can also point to higher pressure or a leak affecting nearby fittings. A slow drain can be grease buildup, or it can be a sign the line needs inspection.

Following our standard assess-and-quote approach, the plumber explains what has been found in plain English and confirms what is included in the fixed price before any work begins. That helps prevent cost surprises, because the job is priced by the work required, not by the hour.

We regularly provide documentation suitable for landlords, agents, and strata records, which can matter in the Inner West where access may involve tenants or common areas. And if there are access constraints such as restricted parking, booking windows, or strata rules, those can usually be accommodated when disclosed at the time of booking.

If you are unsure whether your situation is urgent, a quick call is usually enough to confirm the right service and organise attendance.

Fixed upfront pricing, confirmed before work starts

Pricing is fixed and upfront (priced by the job, not by the hour). You receive a fixed-price quote before work starts, and the Fixed Price Guarantee means the price quoted is the price paid. Quotes are valid for 30 days from the date issued, so you have time to decide once the scope is clear.

Verified reviews across Sydney

Fixed Today Plumbing has a near-perfect 5-star rating based on 800+ verified customer reviews. Reviews are a useful check for consistency, especially for jobs that require clear communication, tidy work, and follow-through.

Emergency support with clear arrival communication

Emergency support is available 24/7 for domestic and commercial clients. For emergencies, urgent jobs are sent out first and a licensed field technician is allocated from localised dispatch points across Sydney. ETA updates are provided where possible, and arrival timing depends on current bookings and traffic conditions.

Licensed and insured for plumbing and gas work

Fixed Today Plumbing is correctly licensed in NSW for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting (NSW Licensed Plumber, Drainer & Gasfitter - 305428C). The business is fully insured, with current insurance policies maintained (Public Liability and Workers Compensation). Public Liability helps protect you if accidental property damage occurs during work, and Workers Compensation relates to workplace injuries on the job.

Leaking Tap Repairs

Leaking tap repairs in Balmain usually involve stopping water waste and preventing moisture damage around cabinetry, benchtops, and wall linings. Fixed Today Plumbing repairs leaking taps and related fixtures after confirming the leak source onsite. This covers common drips, worn components, and leaking mixers in accessible locations, and if the leak traces back to pipework or fittings behind a wall, the scope and fixed price are confirmed before any invasive work proceeds.

A pattern we notice is that customers often book because the noise is annoying, then discover the real concern is swelling timber, stained grout, or water tracking into cupboards. Small leaks can do a lot of damage over time because they stay wet for hours each day.

Once diagnosed and quoted, the repair is completed and the fitting is checked for proper operation before the plumber leaves. Where the work area includes finished surfaces such as stone benchtops or tiled splashbacks, drop sheets or protective covers are used and the area is left clean and tidy.

Blocked and Leaking Toilets

Blocked and leaking toilet repairs in Balmain focus on restoring safe, reliable flushing and stopping water loss from cisterns or seals. Fixed Today Plumbing attends to toilet blockages, leaks, and toilet suite installations after checking what is happening at the pan, cistern, and drain connection. This covers typical household toilet faults, and if the blockage appears to be in the main sewer line rather than the fixture, further inspection is explained and priced once scope is defined.

A backed-up toilet is disruptive. It can also create hygiene risks if wastewater overflows, so it is usually treated as time-sensitive even when the cause is simple.

After confirming the cause, the plumber completes the repair, checks function, and tidies the area. If access needs to be coordinated with tenants, property managers, or strata, we can work to agreed entry instructions and provide receipts and invoices suitable for records.

Clearing Blocked Drains

Blocked drains in Balmain are cleared by locating the restriction and removing it with a method suited to the pipe and the blockage. Fixed Today Plumbing clears kitchen, bathroom, laundry, and external clogged drains, using specialised diagnostics where needed so the cause is not guessed. This covers most accessible drain lines, and if a CCTV check shows structural damage such as cracked pipework or root intrusion, repair options are explained and quoted once the scope is confirmed.

On first inspection, we often find that a slow drain has been building for weeks, then becomes an overflow after one heavy use period. Grease, food waste, soap scum, and hair are common contributors, and in older properties the underlying issue can be the condition of the pipe itself.

Following our standard process, we may use blocked drain equipment such as high-pressure water jetting and drain inspection cameras to confirm the location and fully clear the line. Clearing without confirming the cause can lead to repeat callouts, so the goal is to restore flow and explain what was found.

Hot Water System Services

Hot water system services in Balmain include diagnosing faults, repairing where practical, and replacing units when the system has failed or is no longer economical to repair. Fixed Today Plumbing works on hot water supply unit installations (gas, electric, and solar), repairs, and maintenance, with same-day service available for standard enquiries. This covers most household hot water problems, and if the assessment shows the unit needs replacement or upgrades to meet requirements, the fixed price is provided once the scope is confirmed.

From similar jobs, the first complaint is often inconsistent temperature or running out of hot water earlier than usual. In storage systems, that can be caused by component wear or internal deterioration, which is why an onsite check matters before deciding on repair versus replacement.

After diagnosing and quoting, the plumber completes the installation or repair to Australian plumbing standards and verifies operation before leaving. If you are comparing options, we can talk through practical differences and what suits your property, then confirm the fixed price once the final selection and scope are clear.

Overflowing Sewer and Stormwater Drains

Overflowing sewer and stormwater drains in Balmain need prompt attention because overflow can create unsafe, unsanitary conditions and damage surrounding areas. Fixed Today Plumbing clears overflowing drains by confirming whether the problem is a local blockage, a downstream restriction, or a damaged section of pipe. This covers most accessible overflow situations, and if inspection indicates structural failure, repair options are explained and quoted once scope is verified.

Tree roots, fats and grease buildup, and ageing pipework are common causes of overflow. The consequence is usually recurring blockages, and in worse cases, wastewater escaping where it should not.

Once diagnosed and quoted, the plumber may use overflowing drains methods such as high-pressure jetting and CCTV camera inspections to clear the obstruction and identify why it happened. The drain is then checked for normal flow before the site is left tidy.

Burst Pipe Repairs

Burst pipe repairs in Balmain are treated as a plumbing emergency because active leaks can quickly damage floors, walls, and electrical areas. Fixed Today Plumbing offers 24/7 emergency plumbing support for domestic and commercial clients and can dispatch immediately for urgent situations. This covers locating the leak, stopping the water loss, and completing a compliant repair, and if the assessment shows multiple weak points or broader pipe damage, the options are explained and priced once scope is confirmed.

What typically happens is that the visible water is not directly above the failure point. Leaks can track through wall cavities, under floors, or along pipe runs, which is why electronic ultrasonic leak detection can be useful when the burst is hidden.

After diagnosis, you receive a fixed-price quote before we begin. Once repaired, the system is tested and the area is left clean and tidy. If you are calling after hours, ask about the call-out fee status when booking, as there is no call-out fee for many service areas (check specific suburb pages).

Gas Plumbing Services

Gas plumbing services in Balmain must be handled by a fully licensed gas fitter because leaks and faulty connections create serious safety risks. Fixed Today Plumbing provides licensed gas fitting, gas leak detection, and new gas connections, with same day service available for standard enquiries and immediate dispatch for emergencies. This covers investigation, repair, and safe recommissioning, and where regulated documentation is required, it is provided once the scope of work is confirmed.

A common situation we encounter is a customer noticing a gas smell near an appliance, then finding the issue is at a connection point or an ageing component. Even a minor leak should be assessed promptly to reduce risk.

Once diagnosed and quoted, the gas work is completed to applicable Australian Standards and safety requirements, then tested before the system is put back into service. Technicians can confirm identity on arrival before entry, which helps when access is security-sensitive.

Pipe Relining

Pipe relining in Balmain is a no-dig repair option for damaged drain or sewer pipes where the existing line is still suitable to reline. Fixed Today Plumbing provides trenchless drain relining after confirming the pipe condition with inspection, so the repair method matches what is actually underground. This approach suits many cracks and leaks without extensive excavation, and if the pipe is fully collapsed or access is limited, the options and fixed price are confirmed once scope is clear.

From similar visits, relining is often chosen when the damaged section runs under hard-to-disturb areas, or where customers want to minimise disruption. The key decision point is whether the pipe can be structurally lined rather than replaced.

After inspection and quote approval, the reline is installed using trenchless pipe lining technology and the line is checked again so the result is verified. If the issue is connected to a current pipe relining solutions enquiry, we can explain what inspection findings would make relining suitable.

  1. Are they properly licensed for the type of work, including gas if required?

Plumbing FAQ's in Balmain

These FAQs cover common booking and service questions for Balmain 2041. Fixed Today Plumbing offers 24/7 emergency plumbing support for residential and commercial clients, plus same-day service availability for general plumbing and gas enquiries. Answers are general, and the exact cause, scope, and fixed price are confirmed after an onsite assessment.

Should I hire a professional or do it myself?

For Balmain plumbing issues that affect water supply, drainage, or gas, a fully licensed NSW plumber is usually the safer option because the cause is not always apparent and mistakes can create damage or safety risks. Simple maintenance is one thing, but anything involving gas, hidden leaks, or sewer connections should be assessed by a licensed technician. Fixed Today Plumbing can confirm the scope onsite and provide fixed upfront pricing before work starts.

How much does plumbing cost?

Plumbing costs in Balmain depend on what is being repaired, how accessible it is, and whether parts are needed, plus after-hours urgency for emergencies. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so the cost is confirmed in a flat-rate quote after the onsite assessment. If you are unsure about call-out fees, ask when booking, as there is no call-out fee for many service areas (check specific suburb pages).

What type of plumbing can be done?

Fixed Today Plumbing handles general plumbing, drainage, and gas fitting work in Balmain as part of its Sydney service area. This includes blocked drains, leak detection, burst pipe repairs, hot water service installations and repairs, toilet repairs, roof and gutter leaks, and gas leak detection and new gas connections. The exact approach depends on what is found onsite, and the fixed price is confirmed before work starts.

Do you come to our house to quote?

Yes, jobs in the Balmain 2041 area are assessed onsite so the cause, access, and scope can be confirmed before pricing is finalised. Phone descriptions can miss key details, especially in older or renovated homes where pipework and access points vary. After the assessment, Fixed Today Plumbing provides a fixed-price quote before work starts, and you can decide once the scope is clear.

What do Plumbers do?

Plumbers install, repair, and maintain water, drainage, and related fixtures so the system works safely and reliably. In practice, that includes finding leaks, restoring flow in blocked drains, repairing ruptured pipes, and installing compliant hot water service systems. For gas work, a properly licensed gas fitter is required. For Balmain properties, the starting point is usually an onsite assessment so the right fix can be quoted and completed correctly.

How do I fix a running toilet?

A running toilet is usually caused by a faulty internal component, and it can waste a surprising amount of water over time. It is best to book a plumber if the running does not stop quickly, if the toilet is overflowing, or if there is water leaking onto the floor. Fixed Today Plumbing can inspect the cistern and connections, confirm what needs replacing, and provide fixed upfront pricing before completing the repair.

How do I solve a leaking shower?

A leaking shower often needs proper diagnosis because water can travel behind tiles and into wall cavities before it becomes visible. That can lead to damage and mould if it is left unresolved. If you notice persistent damp smells, bubbling paint, or water outside the shower area, it is worth arranging an inspection. Fixed Today Plumbing can identify the leak source onsite and confirm the repair scope and fixed price before starting work.

Do you service the entire Balmain area?

Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Balmain as part of the Sydney metropolitan regions, including the Inner West. Attendance is organised through localised dispatch points across Sydney, and emergencies receive immediate dispatch where possible. For standard plumbing and gas enquiries, same-day service is available. Exact arrival timing depends on the day, current bookings, and traffic conditions, and ETA updates are provided where possible.

Are you able to unblock drains?

Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Balmain and across Sydney, including kitchen, bathroom, laundry, and external drain lines. Clearing is usually paired with inspection where needed, because recurring blockages often have an underlying cause such as pipe condition or root intrusion. After confirming the scope onsite, a fixed-price quote is provided before work starts, and flow is checked before the plumber leaves.

How fast can you come?

For Balmain emergencies, Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch, which means urgent jobs are sent out first and the nearest available licensed technician is allocated from Sydney dispatch points. For non-urgent work, same-day service is available for standard plumbing and gas enquiries. An ETA is provided when booking where possible, and timing can change due to traffic and earlier emergency callouts.
