Plumber Clareville

Fixed Today Plumbing has been operating across Sydney for over 15 years, and we've built a near-perfect 5-star rating from more than 800 verified customer reviews. We're a family-owned business, and all our attending technicians are properly licensed plumbers in NSW, meaning every job meets state licensing and safety standards. We arrive in uniform, confirm our identity at the door, and explain what we're doing before we start.

What sets us apart is transparency around scope and pricing. After diagnosing the issue onsite, using drain inspection cameras for blockages, electronic leak detectors for hidden bursts, or pressure testing for gas, we confirm what's involved and provide a fixed-price quote before any work proceeds. The price is by the job, not by the hour, and it includes labour, parts, and cleanup. You decide whether to proceed once the scope and cost are clear.

We handle commercial and domestic work, from routine tap repairs and hot water supply replacements to complex drainage repairs and gas appliance installations. Jobs are completed to Australian Standards, and we test outcomes before leaving, flow rates after clearing a drain, pressure after a gas repair, temperature after a hot water install. All workmanship is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, and manufacturer warranties cover the parts and appliances we supply.

For emergencies, broken pipes, gas leaks, sewage backups—our emergency plumbing service operates 24/7. Urgent jobs are sent out first, and we dispatch from local hubs to minimise travel time. For standard work, service the same day is available depending on current bookings, and we provide an ETA when you call. If timing changes due to traffic or a previous job running over, we'll update you.

A water heater failure in Clareville typically shows up as rust-coloured water in the morning, inconsistent temperature, or no hot water service at all. In older storage tanks, sediment buildup insulates the heating element or gas burner, reducing efficiency and eventually causing the system to fail. In continuous flow units, scale buildup or a faulty ignition system can prevent the burner from firing, leaving you with cold water.

Fixed Today Plumbing installs, repairs, and maintains all major hot water service types, gas storage and continuous flow, electric storage and instantaneous, and solar with gas or electric boosters. We work with brands including Rheem, Dux, Rinnai, and Bosch. The first visit involves inspecting the existing unit, confirming the fuel type and capacity, and checking for compliance issues such as missing tempering valves or incorrect overflow drainage.

If repair is viable, we explain what's involved, replacing a sacrificial anode, flushing sediment, or fixing a faulty thermostat, and provide a fixed-price quote. If replacement is recommended, we discuss sizing based on household usage, fuel type options, and installation requirements under AS/NZS 3500. All new installations include a Tempering Valve (limiting tap temperature to 50°C to prevent scalding) and a Pressure Relief Valve (preventing tank over-pressurisation), both mandatory under Australian Standards.

For emergencies, complete loss of hot water or an active leak from the tank—we offer service the same day where possible. If a new unit is required and needs to be ordered, we explain the lead time and can arrange a temporary solution if needed. All installations are backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship, with manufacturer warranties covering the unit itself. We test the system before leaving, confirm temperature at the tap, and verify that all safety devices are functioning correctly.

A dripping tap wastes water and increases bills, but the cause is usually straightforward, a worn washer, a damaged O-ring, or a faulty ceramic disc cartridge. In older tap designs, the washer compresses each time the tap is turned off, and over time it wears down and loses its seal. In modern mixer taps, the ceramic disc cartridge can crack or accumulate mineral deposits, preventing a tight seal.

We inspect the tap onsite, confirm the make and model, and identify the fault. For most repairs, the fix involves replacing the washer or cartridge, which can be completed quickly once the correct part is sourced. If the tap body is corroded or the thread is damaged, replacement may be more cost-effective than repair, and we'll explain the options and provide a fixed-price quote for both.

Leaking taps are not emergencies, but they're worth fixing promptly to avoid wasted water and the risk of the leak worsening. We carry common washers and cartridges in our service vehicles, so most repairs can be completed on the first visit. If a specific part needs to be ordered, we explain the lead time and schedule the repair once it arrives. All work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, and we test the tap before leaving to confirm the leak is resolved.

Shower issues in Clareville homes typically involve leaking showerheads, blocked drains, or faulty mixer valves that prevent consistent temperature control. A leaking showerhead is often caused by a worn washer or damaged O-ring, while temperature fluctuations usually indicate a faulty ceramic disc cartridge inside the mixer tap.

We assess the shower onsite, confirm the fault, and explain what's involved. For leaking showerheads, the fix is usually a washer or cartridge replacement. For blocked shower drains, we remove the grate, clear the obstruction, and verify flow. If the mixer valve is faulty, we source the correct cartridge and replace it, testing temperature control before leaving.

For more complex issues, such as leaks behind the wall or damaged waterproofing, we assess whether the problem is isolated or requires broader remediation. If structural work is needed, we explain the scope and provide a fixed-price quote once access is confirmed. All shower repairs are backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, and we test the system before leaving to confirm the issue is resolved.

Gas fitting work in NSW must be performed by a properly licensed gas fitter, and all work must comply with AS/NZS 5601.1 (Gas Installations). This includes new gas appliance connections, gas leak repairs, and routine safety inspections. After any gas work, the system must undergo a pressure loss test to confirm it's gas-tight before being recommissioned.

We handle all aspects of gas fitting for Clareville properties, including connecting new cooktops, ovens, and hot water service systems; repairing gas leaks detected by smell (the added mercaptan signal), hissing sounds, or dying vegetation over underground lines; and conducting safety inspections for properties being sold or renovated. All attending technicians are licensed gas fitters in NSW, and we issue a compliance certificate upon completion where required.

Gas leaks are urgent. If you smell gas, turn off the gas supply at the meter if safe to do so, ventilate the area, avoid using electrical switches or naked flames, and call us immediately. We dispatch a licensed gas fitter to assess the system, locate the leak using specialised detection equipment, and make it safe. Once the leak is repaired, we pressure-test the system to confirm it's gas-tight and provide a compliance certificate.

For new gas appliance installations, we assess the existing gas supply, confirm capacity, and check that pipework and fittings meet current standards. If upgrades are required, we explain what's involved and provide a fixed-price quote once scope is verified. All gas work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship, and manufacturer warranties cover the appliances we install.

Strata plumbing in Clareville involves coordinating access, managing boundaries between lot and common property, and ensuring clear communication with strata managers, committee members, and residents. Common property plumbing, such as shared drainage lines, risers, and external pipework, is the responsibility of the owners corporation, while lot-specific plumbing is the responsibility of the individual owner.

We work with strata managers and committees to assess plumbing issues, confirm responsibility boundaries, and provide fixed-price quotes for repairs or maintenance. For emergency situations, such as a broken pipe affecting multiple units or a blocked common drain causing backups, we dispatch immediately, isolate the affected area, and implement a temporary or permanent solution depending on access and scope.

Our strata plumbing service includes routine maintenance (hot water service servicing, backflow prevention testing, drainage inspections), emergency repairs (ruptured pipes, gas leaks, blocked drains), and major installations (hot water supply upgrades, drain relining, bathroom renovations). We provide detailed documentation suitable for strata records, including photos, CCTV footage, and compliance certificates where required.

All work is completed to Australian Standards and relevant building codes, and we coordinate with other trades where necessary to minimise disruption to residents. We can follow site induction requirements, sign-in procedures, and access protocols, and we communicate clearly with all parties throughout the process to ensure transparency and accountability.

Plumbing emergencies in Clareville, burst pipes, gas leaks, sewage backups, or complete loss of water supply, require immediate attention to prevent property damage, health risks, or safety hazards. Our emergency plumbing service operates 24/7, 7 days a week, with immediate dispatch for urgent jobs.

When you call, we assess the urgency, provide immediate safety advice if needed (such as turning off the water or gas supply), and dispatch the nearest available licensed plumbing specialist from our local hubs. You'll receive an ETA when you book, and we provide updates if timing changes due to traffic or a previous job running over. Our goal is to make the situation safe, stop further damage, and implement a temporary or permanent solution depending on access and scope.

For broken pipes, we isolate the affected section, assess the damage, and provide a repair or replacement. For gas leaks, we locate the leak using specialised detection equipment, make it safe, and pressure-test the system before recommissioning. For sewage backups, we clear the blockage using high-pressure jetting, verify flow with a CCTV camera, and assess whether structural damage has occurred.

Emergency work is priced the same as standard work, by the job, not by the hour, and we provide a fixed-price quote once scope is defined onsite. If the situation requires immediate action to prevent further damage, we explain what's involved and confirm your approval before proceeding. All emergency repairs are backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, and we verify outcomes before leaving to ensure the issue is fully resolved.
