Plumber Castlecrag

Fixed Today Plumbing repairs, maintains, and installs hot water systems across Castlecrag, covering electric storage, continuous flow gas, heat pump, and solar units. We assess the unit onsite, confirm the fault or replacement requirement, provide a flat-rate quote, complete the installation or repair to Australian plumbing standards, then test flow and temperature before leaving. This covers typical residential hot water work; if inspection shows concealed leaks or structural access issues, we explain the options and confirm scope before proceeding.

In practice, we see hot water failures most often in storage systems over ten years old, where rust-coloured water in the morning signals a failing sacrificial anode rod or sediment buildup. Continuous flow gas units typically fail due to ignition faults or scale buildup in the heat exchanger, both of which are confirmed during the initial assessment.

We work with major brands including Rheem, Dux, and Rinnai. When replacing a unit, we guide you through the selection process based on household size, existing gas or electric supply, and energy efficiency preferences. All installations include mandatory Tempering Valves (limiting water to 50°C at the tap to prevent scalding) and Pressure Relief Valves (preventing tank over-pressurisation), as required under AS/NZS 3500 standards.

Regular maintenance prolongs system lifespan and prevents costly breakdowns. We provide comprehensive maintenance services at transparent pricing, including anode rod inspection, sediment flushing, and burner or element testing where relevant.

A dripping tap wastes litres of water daily and drives up utility bills over time. Fixed Today Plumbing diagnoses and repairs all types of leaking fixtures across Castlecrag, including bathroom and kitchen taps, shower heads, and outdoor spigots. We use specialised equipment to identify the source of the leak, then implement the most effective solution, typically replacing worn washers, O-rings, or cartridges to restore the tap to proper function.

What typically happens is that a steady drip from a tap indicates a worn washer or cartridge, while leaks around the base signal a failing O-ring or loose packing nut. We confirm the fault during the initial assessment and provide a fixed price quote before starting the repair.

Where repair is not cost-effective, we offer tap replacement services, guiding you through the selection process to choose fixtures that complement your home's aesthetic and reduce water consumption. Modern water-efficient taps can lower utility costs while improving performance.

We explain the scope in plain English before starting, confirm inclusions and exclusions in the quote, then complete the work and verify proper function before leaving. All repairs are backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship.

Fixed Today Plumbing resolves shower-related issues across Castlecrag, including leaking shower heads and taps, faulty mixers, and drainage problems. We assess the fault onsite, confirm the scope, provide a fixed-price quote, complete the repair using premium parts, then test flow and temperature before leaving. This covers typical shower repairs; if inspection shows concealed leaks behind tiles or structural access issues, we explain the options and confirm scope before proceeding.

A pattern we notice is that a steady drip from a shower head or tap typically indicates a worn cartridge or O-ring, while fluctuating water temperature signals a failing mixer valve. Slow drainage often traces back to hair and soap buildup in the trap, though persistent slow flow can indicate a deeper blockage or venting issue, which we confirm using camera inspection where needed.

We use drop sheets or protective covers to protect finished surfaces such as tiled bathrooms and timber floors, and we clean up the work area at the end of the job. We keep noise and disruption as low as practical during occupied home work, and we explain what we're doing before starting to minimise surprises.

All repairs are backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship. If you're experiencing shower issues, book a plumber and we'll confirm the cause onsite and explain the next action.

Gas appliances provide efficient heating, cooking, and hot water service, but potential gas leaks or poor installations are serious safety hazards. Fixed Today Plumbing provides licensed gas fitting services across Castlecrag, covering gas appliance installation, leak detection and repair, and routine maintenance. All attending technicians are properly licensed gas fitters in NSW (Licence 305428C), and we carry full Public Liability and Workers Compensation insurance.

Gas leak detection involves specialised equipment such as combustible gas detectors or thermal imaging to identify leaks behind walls or in sub-floors. The distinctive "rotten egg" odour in gas is an added mercaptan signal; other indicators include hissing sounds near appliances, dying vegetation over underground lines, or unusual soot buildup on burners. If you smell gas, isolate the supply at the meter if safe to do so, ventilate the area, and arrange an assessment so the system can be checked and made safe.

All gas fitting work is completed to AS/NZS 5601.1 standards, and any repaired or altered gas installation undergoes a pressure loss test to ensure the system is gas-tight before being recommissioned. We provide upfront pricing for all gas fitting services, ensuring you know exactly what to expect before any work commences.

We explain the process and answer any questions you have, ensuring you feel confident and informed throughout. All work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship, giving you peace of mind and a safe, well-functioning gas system.
