Plumber Chippendale

Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Chippendale 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 root intrusion requiring drain relining, the options are explained and scope is defined before any additional work proceeds.

Drainage blockages in older inner-city properties often result from tree root intrusion, where fine roots enter microscopic cracks in aging terracotta or clay pipes. In kitchen lines, Fat, Oil, and Grease (FOG) accumulation solidifies as it cools, creating obstructions that trap solid waste. We use high-definition CCTV drain cameras to visually identify the blockage type, depth, and precise location within the property boundary, then clear it using high-pressure water jetting (hydro-jetting) at pressures that pulverise roots and scour grease from pipe walls.

In practice, we see blockages in Chippendale properties that range from simple food waste build-up in kitchen sinks to more complex sewer line obstructions caused by collapsed sections or foreign objects. The initial visit involves running the CCTV camera through the line to confirm what's causing the restriction, then explaining whether it's a straightforward clearing job or whether structural repair is needed. If the pipe is sound, we restore flow and verify function before leaving. If the camera shows cracks, offsets, or root intrusion that will recur, we explain the relining or excavation options and quote once the full extent is confirmed.

When a drain backs up, the goal is to restore flow and confirm what caused it. Contact us on 1800 349 338 for same-day dispatch, and we'll assess the line and explain the next step.

When a water heater fails at a property in Chippendale, Fixed Today Plumbing diagnoses the fault and explains whether it's a repair or a replacement. This covers electric storage, continuous flow gas, and heat pump systems; if the unit is beyond economical repair, we explain the replacement options and quote once the installation requirements are confirmed.

Hot water system faults in residential properties typically show up as fluctuating water temperatures, rust-coloured water in the morning, or complete loss of hot water. In older electric storage systems, the first sign is usually rust-coloured water before the tank has had time to settle, indicating a failing sacrificial anode rod or sediment buildup insulating the heating element. In continuous flow gas systems, fluctuating temperatures often trace back to a faulty flow sensor or burner issue. We assess the system onsite, test for function, and explain whether the fault is repairable or whether the unit has reached end-of-life.

Under the National Construction Code and AS/NZS 3500 standards, hot water installations must be performed by licensed professionals. This ensures compliance with safety standards, including the mandatory installation of Tempering Valves to prevent scalding (limiting water to 50°C at the tap) and Pressure Relief Valves to prevent tank over-pressurisation. We install top-of-the-line systems from Rheem, Dux, and Rinnai, confirm the installation meets Australian Standards, and test the system for temperature and pressure before leaving.

If you're getting cold water or the system is leaking, a quick call to 1800 349 338 is enough to book an inspection. We'll confirm the fault and explain the options once scope is established.

Roof and gutter leaks in Chippendale properties are typically caused by blocked downpipes, corroded valley flashings, or loose tile bedding allowing water to penetrate the roof cavity. Fixed Today Plumbing identifies the source of the leak, clears blockages, repairs or replaces damaged sections, and tests the system during rain or simulated flow to confirm the leak is resolved.

In older terraces and walk-ups, we commonly see leaks at parapet box gutters where debris accumulates and overflows into the roof cavity, or at valley flashings where corrosion has created pinholes. The first step is confirming where the water is entering, which often requires inspection during rain or using a hose to simulate flow. Once the source is identified, we clear blockages, repair or replace damaged flashings, and re-bed loose tiles where necessary. If the gutter or downpipe is severely corroded, we explain the replacement options and quote once the full extent is confirmed.

If you're seeing water stains on ceilings or walls, or water is overflowing from gutters during rain, call 1800 349 338 to book an assessment. We'll locate the source and explain the repair options.

Toilet faults in Chippendale properties range from simple cistern leaks and running toilets to blocked pans and faulty flush mechanisms. Fixed Today Plumbing diagnoses the issue, repairs or replaces the faulty component, and tests the system to confirm it's functioning correctly.

A toilet that keeps running after flushing is usually caused by a worn flapper valve or a faulty fill valve allowing water to continuously flow into the cistern. We replace the worn component, adjust the water level, and test the flush to confirm the leak has stopped. If the toilet is blocked, we use a hand auger or high-pressure jetting to clear the obstruction, then test the flush to confirm flow is restored. If the pan is cracked or the cistern is beyond economical repair, we explain the replacement options and quote once the installation requirements are confirmed.

Contact us on 1800 349 338 for a quick fix. We'll assess the toilet and explain whether it's a simple component replacement or whether a new fixture is needed.
