Blocked Drains Casula

When water drains slowly, backs up in sinks or showers, or produces gurgling sounds, the line is partially or fully obstructed. In Casula homes, the most common culprits are grease and food waste in kitchen lines, hair and soap scum in bathroom drains, and tree root intrusion in external sewer pipes. If left unaddressed, blockages can cause water to overflow, leading to property damage, unpleasant odours, and potential health risks.

Grease is particularly problematic. As it cools in the pipe, it solidifies and traps other debris, narrowing the diameter until flow is restricted. In older properties with terracotta or clay pipes, tree roots exploit small cracks and grow into dense masses that catch toilet paper, wipes, and other waste. Foreign objects flushed down toilets, such as sanitary products or wet wipes labelled "flushable," don't break down and cause immediate blockages.

We use high-pressure water jetting to scour the pipe walls and remove grease, roots, and accumulated debris. The jetter fires water at pressures sufficient to pulverise obstructions without damaging the pipe itself. For blockages deeper in the system or where the exact location is unclear, we run a CCTV drain camera through the line to visually identify the restriction, confirm its depth, and check for structural issues like cracks or collapsed sections.

The assessment is done onsite. We explain what's causing the blockage, what's required to clear it, and provide a fixed-price quote before starting work. If the camera reveals damage requiring pipe relining or excavation, we explain those options and confirm scope before proceeding. Once the blockage is cleared, we test flow to verify the line is restored and functioning correctly.

For blocked drains in Casula, call 1800 349 338 to arrange an assessment. We can usually attend the same day for urgent situations, and we'll confirm arrival timing when you book.

Plumbing emergencies don't follow business hours. Burst pipes, gas leaks, blocked sewer drains, and failed hot water systems can occur at any time, often when least convenient. Fixed Today Plumbing provides 24/7 emergency service for Casula residents, dispatching licensed plumbers from our West Sydney hub to address urgent situations and make the system safe.

An emergency is any situation where there's an immediate risk to safety, property, or health. That includes active water leaks causing damage, gas smells indicating a potential leak, sewage backing up into the home, or complete loss of hot water in cold weather. For these situations, we prioritise dispatch, sending the nearest available technician and providing an ETA when you book.

Our emergency plumbing service covers the following urgent situations:

• Burst pipes and uncontrolled water leaks
• Blocked sewer drains causing sewage backup
• Gas leaks or gas appliance faults posing safety risks
• Complete water heater failures in occupied homes
• Blocked toilets in single-toilet homes

The process follows the same standard we apply to all jobs: assess the issue onsite, explain what's required to make it safe or restore function, provide a fixed-price quote, and complete the work once scope is confirmed onsite. Emergency callouts are priced according to the time of day and urgency, and we explain the call-out fee structure when you book so there are no surprises.

If you're unsure whether your situation qualifies as an emergency, call us. We can provide brief guidance over the phone to help you decide whether immediate dispatch is needed or if the issue can be scheduled during standard hours. For urgent plumbing help in Casula, call 1800 349 338 any time, day or night.

Hot water systems in Casula homes are typically electric storage, gas continuous flow, or heat pump units. Each type has different failure modes, and understanding what's causing the issue helps determine whether replacement or repair is the more cost-effective option. Fixed Today Plumbing installs, repairs, and maintains hot water service systems from major brands including Rheem, Dux, Vulcan, Aquamax, and Thermann.

Electric storage systems often fail due to element burnout or thermostat faults, both of which can be repaired if the tank itself is sound. Rust-coloured water or visible corrosion around the tank usually indicates a failing sacrificial anode rod or internal tank corrosion, which often means replacement is needed. Gas continuous flow systems may lose efficiency due to scale buildup in the heat exchanger or fail to ignite due to faulty pilot assemblies or gas valve issues.

When assessing a faulty hot water service, we check the age of the unit, the nature of the fault, and whether parts are still available. If the system is over ten years old and the repair cost approaches half the replacement cost, replacement is usually the better long-term investment. We explain both options, provide fixed-price quotes for each, and let you decide which approach suits your situation and budget.

Installation involves removing the old unit, installing the new system to Australian Standards (AS/NZS 3500), fitting a Tempering Valve to limit outlet temperature to 50°C (preventing scalding), and installing a Pressure Relief Valve to prevent tank over-pressurisation. For gas systems, we pressure-test the gas connection and provide a compliance certificate. All hot water supply work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship, plus the manufacturer's warranty on the unit itself.

For hot water service services in Casula, call 1800 349 338. We provide 24/7 emergency service for complete hot water failures and can schedule non-urgent installations at your convenience.
