Looking for a Specific Type of Plumber in Burwood Heights?

Fixed Today Plumbing provides drain blockage diagnosis and clearing in Burwood Heights NSW 2136, using CCTV inspection and high-pressure water jetting where suitable, then testing flow before leaving. Localised dispatch points across Sydney, including West Sydney, Dolans Bay, and Ruse, help allocate the nearest available licensed, insured plumber. On arrival, access and the condition of the line are confirmed first, because that affects both the approach and the fixed price.

When you're facing tricky plumbing issues in Burwood Heights, it helps to know what happens next. A common situation we encounter is that the first symptom is inside the home, but the restriction is further along the drain. That is why a clear diagnosis comes before any drain clearing is quoted.

This page focuses on blocked drains, but Fixed Today Plumbing also handles connected drainage work such as blocked sewer drains and repairs using pipe relining when inspection shows damage rather than a simple obstruction. If the issue is urgent, plumbing emergencies are dispatched immediately, and you will be given arrival communication with ETA updates where possible.

Work is completed by licensed plumbers in NSW, backed by a Lifetime Labour Warranty on all workmanship. The business is fully insured, with current insurance policies maintained (Public Liability and Workers Compensation), which helps protect you if accidental property damage occurs during the job or if a worker is injured onsite.

Drain unblocking services

Blocked drains in Burwood Heights usually start with slow flow, gurgling, or a bad smell, then escalate to a full backup if the restriction keeps building. The goal is to restore flow and confirm what caused it, because clearing the symptom without checking the line often leads to repeat problems. This covers typical internal and external drain blockages in accessible pipework, and if inspection shows a break or collapse, repair options are explained and quoted once scope is defined.

Drains get used daily, so the early warnings are easy to ignore until they become disruptive. When it happens in Burwood Heights, the priority is to locate where the line is restricted and remove it with a method that matches the pipe condition.

On first inspection, the usual sequence is: a detailed onsite assessment using specialised diagnostic tools (often a high-definition CCTV drain camera), confirmation of the affected fixtures and access points, then a fixed-price quote before any clearing starts. Once approved, the line is cleared, commonly with high-pressure water jetting, and then the system is tested and the work area is left tidy. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued.

In practice, many standard blockages trace back to everyday buildup or something that should never have gone down the line. Common causes include:

  • Grease and food waste that sticks inside kitchen pipework
  • Hair and soap residue in bathroom lines
  • Foreign items, including wipes and sanitary products
  • Tree roots entering older or damaged underground pipes

Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so you can make a decision once the cause is confirmed. No hidden costs; the fixed price quote is provided before we begin, and the Fixed Price Guarantee means the price quoted is the price paid.

If you are booking from Burwood Heights and want certainty about the visit cost, ask about the call-out amount at the time of booking. No call-out fee for many service areas (check specific suburb pages).

Upfront quotes and fixed pricing

Fixed Today Plumbing provides a fixed price quote before work starts, with fixed, transparent pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour). The quote is based on confirmed scope such as access, the pipe condition, and what needs repair or clearing, and quotes are valid for one month from the date issued.

Customer reviews you can verify

Fixed Today Plumbing has a Near-perfect 5-star rating based on 800+ verified customer reviews, which reflects consistent outcomes across a high volume of Sydney jobs. Feedback is most often tied to clear explanations, tidy finishes, and predictable pricing once the problem is diagnosed.

Emergency availability and same-day bookings

24/7 emergency plumbing support for commercial and residential clients is available, and service the same day is available for all standard plumbing and gas enquiries. For urgent drainage backups, jobs are dispatched immediately and an ETA is shared with updates where possible, as arrival timing depends on current bookings and traffic.

Licensed and insured for drainage work

Fixed Today Plumbing is Fully 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), which helps protect your property if accidental damage occurs during work and covers workplace injuries on the job.

Burst Pipes

A ruptured pipe in Burwood Heights is a water-damage risk, because pressure can push a surprising amount of water into walls, floors, or subfloors in a short time. Fixed Today Plumbing attends broken pipe repairs and water leak testing across Sydney, and the job starts with making the area safe, locating the leak, and confirming what repair is suitable before any fixed price is provided. If inspection shows a damaged section that can be repaired without digging, options are explained and quoted after scope is clarified.

Burst pipes can turn your Burwood Heights home into a mess quickly, and the hard part is that the leak is not always obvious. What typically happens is that water shows up where it is easiest to escape, not where the pipe has failed, so proper leak detection matters.

Fixed Today Plumbing uses electronic ultrasonic leak detection for hidden bursts, and repair work is carried out to meet Australian Standards. Where it is appropriate for the pipe and the damage, pipe relining can be used as a trenchless repair method, which reduces disruption compared to open excavation.

Emergency Drainage

An emergency drainage job in Burwood Heights is any blockage or overflow that risks property damage or creates a hygiene issue, such as sewage backflowing in a toilet, shower, or floor waste. Fixed Today Plumbing offers 24/7 emergency services for commercial and domestic clients, with immediate dispatch for emergencies. The attending plumber confirms what is backing up, where access is available, and what clearing method is safe for the pipework before providing a fixed-price quote.

Let's face it, no one plans for a plumbing problem. When a burst pipe turns your property into a pool or a blocked toilet creates backflow, quick attendance helps limit damage and makes the area safe.

Fixed Today Plumbing allocates urgent jobs first and sends the nearest available licensed plumber from local dispatch locations across Sydney. And because Burwood Heights includes a mix of property layouts, it helps if you mention any access limits when you book, such as a narrow driveway, strata sign-in, or restricted parking. We can work around access constraints such as strata rules, restricted parking, or booking windows when disclosed.

Pricing is confirmed after the cause is identified, because an easy-to-reach internal blockage is a different job to a main line restriction or damaged pipe. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), and the Fixed Price Guarantee means the price quoted is the price paid.

Gas Fitting

Gas fitting jobs in Burwood Heights must be completed by a fully properly licensed gasfitter, because gas leaks and incorrect appliance connections are safety risks. Fixed Today Plumbing provides licensed gas fitting, appliance connections, and gas leak detection, and any repair or change starts with confirming the existing setup and testing before the system is recommissioned. If the inspection finds additional issues, options are explained and quoted once scope is established.

As much as we all like a bit of excitement, no one should gamble with gas. When it comes to gas fitting services in Burwood Heights, the work should be handled by a licensed professional and verified with appropriate testing.

And remember, if you smell something odd and think it might be a gas leak, treat it as urgent and arrange an emergency attendance. Contact our 24/7 emergency plumbing service so a properly licensed gas fitter can attend and check the system.

Hot Water Issues

Hot water problems in Burwood Heights are usually caused by a failed component, a leak, or a system that is no longer operating safely or efficiently. Fixed Today Plumbing repairs and installs hot water systems and confirms the system type, location, and any visible safety concerns before providing fixed, upfront pricing. This includes typical repairs and replacements, and if inspection shows a broader compliance or pipework issue, the options are explained before any extra work proceeds.

Lack of hot water can disrupt a home quickly, especially when more than one bathroom is in use. A pattern we notice is that early warning signs are often missed, such as temperature swings, rumbling from a storage tank, or water that looks rusty first thing in the morning.

Fixed Today Plumbing works on major brands including Rheem, Dux, and Rinnai, and installations are completed to applicable Australian Standards and safety requirements. Hardware is covered by standard manufacturer warranties on all hardware and appliances, and workmanship is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on all workmanship.

Blocked Drain FAQ's in Burwood Heights

These FAQs explain what usually causes blocked drains in Burwood Heights, what a plumber does on the first visit, and what affects pricing and timing. Answers are general, and the exact fix depends on access, pipe condition, and where the blockage sits in the line, which is confirmed during onsite diagnosis before a fixed-price quote is provided.

What are the common causes of blocked drains?

Blocked drains in Burwood Heights are most often caused by buildup inside the pipe, foreign items that should not be flushed, or root intrusion where underground pipes have gaps. The practical result is slow drainage that can escalate to overflow. A CCTV inspection is the fastest way to confirm the cause and location before selecting the right clearing method.

How can I prevent my drains from getting blocked?

Preventing blocked drains usually comes down to limiting what goes into the line, because most restrictions build over time. Dispose of cooking fats and oils in the bin, use strainers in sinks and showers, and avoid flushing wipes or sanitary items. If you have recurring issues, a professional inspection can confirm whether there is an underlying pipe defect.

What should I do if my drain is blocked?

If a drain is blocked in Burwood Heights, limit use of the affected fixture to reduce the chance of overflow and book a licensed drainage plumber to assess it. The first visit typically involves confirming which fixtures are affected, checking access points, and using diagnostics such as a drain camera where needed. Once the scope is defined, a fixed-price quote is provided before work starts.

Can I use chemical drain cleaners to unblock my drains?

Chemical drain cleaners can sometimes shift a minor restriction, but they can also damage pipework, especially if used repeatedly or left sitting in the line. They can also make professional clearing harder and messier if the drain is still blocked. If the blockage is persistent, backing up, or affecting multiple fixtures, a plumber should inspect and clear it safely.

How do plumbers clear blocked drains?

Clearing a blocked drain usually starts with locating the restriction, often using CCTV inspection, so the method matches the pipe and blockage type. High-pressure water jetting is commonly used to remove grease, debris, and roots, then the line is tested for flow. If inspection shows a broken or collapsed section, repair options are explained and quoted once the scope is confirmed.

What are the signs of a blocked drain?

The most common signs of a blocked drain are slow draining water, gurgling sounds, unpleasant odours, and water rising in a sink, shower, or toilet. A severe blockage may cause backflow, which is both a hygiene and property-damage risk. If more than one fixture is affected, an assessment is usually needed to confirm whether the main line is restricted.

Can blocked drains cause damage to my property?

Yes, blocked drains can cause property damage if sewage or water overflows, because moisture can damage flooring, plaster, and cabinetry and can contribute to mould growth. Ongoing restrictions can also increase pressure on older pipework and may expose weak points. Early diagnosis and proper clearing reduce the chance of repeat backups and hidden water damage.

How often should I have my drains inspected and cleaned?

There is no single schedule that suits every Burwood Heights property, because risk depends on usage, the age and condition of the pipework, and whether you have a history of blockages. If you are experiencing repeated slow drains or frequent backups, a CCTV inspection can confirm whether the issue is buildup, root intrusion, or structural damage, then maintenance can be planned around what is found.
