Looking for a Specific Type of Plumber in Claymore?

Fixed Today Plumbing offers emergency plumbing in Claymore from dispatch points across Western Sydney, including our West Sydney hub, which allows us to reach properties in the 2559 area within typical response windows for urgent jobs. Claymore sits within Campbelltown, where housing stock includes a mix of older brick veneer homes from the 1970s and 1980s alongside newer estates, meaning we see a range of pipe materials from ageing clay and PVC through to modern installations. Immediate dispatch is standard for emergencies such as active leaks, blocked drains backing up inside, or gas smells, and we provide an ETA once the job is allocated and the plumber is on the way.

We're fully licensed (NSW Plumber, Drainer & Gasfitter 305428C) and carry Public Liability and Workers Compensation insurance, which protects you if accidental property damage occurs during work or if a workplace injury happens onsite. Our team has been operating across Sydney for over 15 years, and we've handled thousands of callouts in South Western Sydney, giving us direct familiarity with the clay pipe root issues, pressure fluctuations, and hot water system failures common in suburbs built during the post-war and 1970s expansion periods.

You'll receive a fixed-price quote once scope is defined onsite. The price is set by the job, not by the hour, so there's no concern about the clock running while the plumber works. If you're unsure whether the situation is urgent or can wait, a short call helps us confirm priority and arrange the right arrival window. We're available around the clock for genuine emergencies and can schedule same-day service for standard plumbing issues when capacity allows.

Emergency Plumbing Services in Claymore

Urgent plumbing in Claymore covers urgent situations where delay increases the risk of property damage, safety hazards, or major disruption, active water leaks, sewage backups inside the home, burst pipes, gas smells, or complete loss of water supply. If inspection on arrival reveals additional faults beyond the immediate emergency, we explain what's needed and provide a fixed quote before any extra work proceeds. All attending technicians are licensed plumbers in NSW, and we can identify ourselves on arrival if requested.

The usual sequence is: isolate the immediate risk where safe to do so, assess what caused the failure, confirm scope and provide an upfront quote, complete the repair using appropriate materials and methods, then test the system and verify the outcome before leaving. For active leaks, the priority is stopping water flow and limiting damage. For gas concerns, we locate the source, test for leaks using detection equipment, and make the system safe. Blocked drains that are backing up inside are cleared using high-pressure water jetting or mechanical methods depending on the obstruction type, and we confirm flow is restored.

We're available around the clock. Urgent jobs are sent out first, and the nearest available plumber is allocated from our local dispatch points. You'll receive an ETA once the job is assigned. Arrival timing depends on current bookings, traffic, and distance, but immediate dispatch means the plumber is on the way as soon as the call is triaged. If the situation allows, we can also schedule same-day service for non-emergency work when a morning or afternoon window suits better than an after-hours callout.

Fixed Today operates across South Western Sydney, and we're familiar with the mix of older and newer housing stock in the Campbelltown area. Properties built during the 1970s and 1980s often have clay or early PVC drainage, and root intrusion from established street trees is a common cause of recurring blockages. Newer estates typically use modern PVC and copper, but we still see pressure issues and hot water failures across all property types. That local working knowledge helps us bring the right tools and parts on the first visit.

Upfront Fixed Pricing

We provide a fixed price quote once scope is established onsite, and the price is set by the job, not by the hour. You decide whether to proceed once you know the cost, and there are no hidden costs added after the work is done.

Lifetime Labour Warranty

All workmanship is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, which covers the quality of the repair or installation for as long as you own the property. Manufacturer warranties apply to parts and appliances as per their terms.

Immediate Dispatch for Emergencies

Urgent jobs are sent out first, and the nearest available plumber is allocated from local dispatch points across Western Sydney. We provide ETA updates where possible once the job is assigned and the plumber is on the way.

Licensed and Insured

We're fully licensed in NSW (Plumber, Drainer & Gasfitter 305428C) and carry Public Liability insurance (protection if accidental property damage occurs during work) and Workers Compensation (protection related to workplace injuries onsite).

Hot Water System Repairs and Replacements

Hot water system failures in Claymore typically show up as no hot water at all, inconsistent temperatures, rust-coloured water in the morning, or visible leaks around the tank or pipework. We assess the system onsite to confirm what's failed, common causes include a burnt-out heating element in electric storage systems, a faulty thermocouple or pilot assembly in gas systems, or a corroded sacrificial anode that's allowed the tank to rust through. If the fault is repairable and the system has useful life left, we quote the repair. If the tank is leaking or the unit is beyond economical repair, we explain replacement options and provide a fixed quote for a new installation.

Replacement involves removing the old unit, installing the new system to meet Australian Standards (AS/NZS 3500), fitting a Tempering Valve to limit tap temperature to 50°C (scalding prevention) and a Pressure Relief Valve to prevent tank over-pressurisation, then testing flow, temperature, and safety devices before leaving. We work with major brands including Rheem, Dux, and Rinnai, and we can discuss whether an electric storage, continuous flow gas, or heat pump system suits your household size, budget, and energy goals.

In older Claymore homes, hot water systems are often located externally or in a laundry, and access is usually straightforward. Newer properties may have units in tight side-access or roof spaces, which can affect installation complexity and quoted price. We confirm access and existing pipework configuration during the initial assessment, so the quote reflects the actual work required. All installations are backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship, and manufacturer warranties apply to the unit and components as per their terms.

Blocked Drain Clearing

When a drain blocks in Claymore, the usual signs are slow-draining sinks or showers, gurgling noises from fixtures, or sewage backing up into floor wastes, toilets, or laundry tubs. The blockage is typically in the internal waste line, the external sewer line between the house and the street, or at the boundary trap where tree roots enter through cracks in ageing clay pipes. We start with a visual inspection and use a high-definition CCTV drain camera to identify the blockage, identify what's causing it (roots, grease buildup, collapsed pipe, foreign objects), and confirm the pipe condition.

Clearing methods depend on what we find. High-pressure water jetting (hydro-jetting) fires water at pressures between 3,000 and 5,000 PSI through specialised nozzles to pulverise roots, scour grease from pipe walls, and flush debris through to the main sewer. For solid objects or metal intrusions, we use mechanical cutting tools. If the camera shows structural damage, cracked, collapsed, or severely root-damaged sections, we explain the options: excavation and pipe replacement, or trenchless pipe relining (a resin-saturated liner cured inside the existing pipe to create a new, seamless internal surface without digging).

In practice, many Claymore properties built during the 1970s and 1980s have clay or early PVC sewer lines, and tree roots from established street plantings are a frequent cause of recurring blockages. If the blockage is within your property boundary, it's the owner's responsibility. If it's in the council or Sydney Water main, we can help identify that and advise on the reporting process. Once the line is cleared, we test flow with water to confirm the blockage is fully removed and provide footage from the camera inspection so you can see the before-and-after condition.

Leaking Tap and Pipe Repairs

A leaking tap in Claymore usually starts with a drip from the spout or water seeping from the base of the handle. The cause is often a worn washer, a damaged O-ring, or a faulty ceramic disc cartridge inside the tap body. Left alone, the drip wastes water (which inflates your bill), and constant moisture can damage benchtops, cabinetry, or tiled surfaces over time. We assess the tap type (compression, mixer, or flick-mixer), disassemble it to identify the failed component, then replace the washer, cartridge, or O-ring and test the tap to confirm the leak is stopped.

For leaking pipes, the location and cause determine the repair. A pinhole leak in a copper pipe might be a corrosion point or a stress crack, and we can repair it by cutting out the damaged section and soldering in a new piece, or by using a compression fitting if access allows. Leaking pipe joints are usually due to a failed washer or sealant, and we remake the joint with new materials. If the leak is inside a wall or under a slab, we use electronic leak detection equipment to pinpoint the location without unnecessary excavation, then access the pipe and complete the repair.

In older Claymore homes, we sometimes see galvanised steel pipes that have corroded internally, leading to leaks and reduced water pressure. If multiple leaks are occurring or the pipe is visibly corroded, partial or full re-piping in copper or PEX may be the more durable solution, and we explain that option alongside the immediate repair. After any tap or pipe repair, we test water pressure and check for leaks before leaving, and the work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship.

Roof and Gutter Leak Repairs

Roof and gutter leaks in Claymore often show up as water stains on ceilings, damp patches in roof cavities, or overflowing gutters during heavy rain. The cause is typically blocked gutters (leaf litter, debris, or sediment restricting flow), damaged or rusted gutter sections, failed flashing around roof penetrations (vents, chimneys, skylights), or cracked roof tiles. We inspect the roof and gutter system to locate the entry point, clear blockages, assess the condition of gutters and downpipes, and check flashing and seals.

For blocked gutters, we remove debris and flush the system to confirm water flows freely to downpipes and stormwater drains. If gutters are damaged or rusted through, we quote replacement of the affected sections. Flashing repairs involve resealing or replacing the metal strips that weatherproof roof junctions, and we use appropriate sealants and fasteners to prevent future leaks. If roof tiles are cracked or displaced, we reposition or replace them and check the underlying sarking for water damage.

Western Sydney weather includes heavy summer storms and occasional hail, both of which can stress ageing gutter systems and dislodge roof materials. Properties in Claymore with established trees nearby are more prone to gutter blockages, and regular maintenance (annual or bi-annual clearing) reduces the risk of overflow damage to fascias, eaves, and internal ceilings. All roof and gutter work is completed to Australian plumbing standards, and we verify that water flows correctly through the system before leaving.

Shower Repairs and Leak Fixes

Shower issues in Claymore range from blocked shower heads (low pressure, uneven spray) to leaking taps, mixer valves, or shower bases. A blocked shower head is usually due to mineral buildup from hard water, and we can disassemble and clean it or fit a replacement if the internal screen is damaged. Leaking shower taps or mixers are typically caused by worn cartridges or washers, and we replace the failed component and test the tap to confirm the leak is stopped and temperature control is restored.

Leaking shower bases are more serious. Water escaping through cracks in the shower tray or failed grout and sealant around tiles can seep into the subfloor, causing timber rot, ceiling damage in rooms below, or mould growth. We assess the leak source using moisture meters or visual inspection, then determine whether a reseal, grout repair, or full shower base replacement is needed. For minor leaks, resealing the base and re-grouting tiles may be sufficient. For structural leaks or failed waterproofing membranes, a full strip-out and rebuild to current waterproofing standards (AS 3740) may be required, and we provide a fixed quote once scope is confirmed.

In older Claymore homes, shower plumbing is often concealed in walls, and access for repairs can require cutting into tiles or plasterboard. We confirm access requirements during the initial assessment, explain what's involved, and include make-good work (re-tiling, plastering, painting) in the quote where needed. After any shower repair, we test water flow, temperature, and drainage to verify the system works correctly, and we check for leaks before leaving the site tidy.

Toilet Repairs and Replacements

Common toilet problems in Claymore include a cistern that keeps running after flushing (wasting water and making noise), a weak or incomplete flush, leaks at the base or from the cistern, or a blocked toilet bowl. A running toilet is usually caused by a worn flapper valve or fill valve inside the cistern, and we replace the faulty component and adjust the water level to stop the continuous flow. A weak flush can be due to a blocked rim feed (mineral buildup restricting water flow into the bowl) or incorrect cistern water level, and we clean the rim jets or adjust the fill valve as needed.

Leaks at the base of the toilet typically indicate a failed wax ring or pan collar seal, and we remove the toilet, replace the seal, and re-install and test for leaks. Cistern leaks are often from a cracked cistern body or failed inlet/outlet washers, and we assess whether repair or replacement is the more cost-effective option. For blocked toilets, we use a manual auger or high-pressure jetting to clear the obstruction, then test the flush to confirm flow is restored.

If the toilet is old, cracked, or repeatedly failing, replacement may be the better long-term solution. We provide a fixed quote for a new toilet suite (pan, cistern, seat), remove the old unit, install the new one to meet Australian Standards, connect water and waste lines, and test for leaks and correct flushing action. Modern toilets are more water-efficient (typically 3-litre half flush, 6-litre full flush) compared to older single-flush models, which can reduce water bills over time. All toilet work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship.

Gas Fitting and Leak Detection

Gas work in Claymore must be performed by a fully licensed gas fitter, and all installations and repairs must comply with Australian Standard AS/NZS 5601.1 (gas installations). We handle new gas appliance connections (cooktops, ovens, hot water systems, heaters), gas line extensions, appliance disconnections, and gas leak detection and repair. Gas leaks are identified by the distinctive rotten-egg odour (added mercaptan), a hissing sound near appliances or pipework, or dying vegetation over underground gas lines. If you smell gas, the immediate action is to avoid ignition sources (don't use switches or phones inside), ventilate the area, turn off the gas meter if safe to do so, and call a licensed gas fitter.

We use combustible gas detectors and electronic leak detection equipment to locate leaks behind walls, under floors, or in concealed pipework. Once located, we isolate the faulty section, repair or replace the damaged pipe or fitting, then conduct a pressure loss test (required by AS/NZS 5601.1) to confirm the system is gas-tight before recommissioning. For new installations, we size the gas line correctly for the appliance load, install isolation valves where required, and test the system before connecting and commissioning the appliance.

In Claymore, gas supply is typically natural gas (reticulated mains) in established streets, though some properties may use LPG (bottled gas) if they're outside the natural gas network. We work with both fuel types, and we can advise on conversion or connection options if you're switching appliances or fuel sources. After any gas work, we issue a compliance certificate (where required by local regulations) and provide documentation of the work completed, tests performed, and appliance commissioning. All gas fitting is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship.

Burst Pipe Repairs

A burst pipe is an emergency. Water escapes under mains pressure, flooding the property, damaging floors, walls, furnishings, and electrical systems, and the longer it runs, the worse the damage. The immediate priority is stopping the water. If you can safely access the water meter, turn it off. If not, call us and we'll dispatch a plumber immediately to isolate the water supply, locate the burst, and stop the flow.

Burst pipes in Claymore are often caused by corrosion (especially in older galvanised steel or copper pipes), ground movement (clay soils shifting during wet-dry cycles can stress buried pipes), impact damage (accidental strikes during excavation or renovation), or freeze-thaw cycles (rare in Sydney but possible during cold snaps if pipes are exposed). We use CCTV inspection and electronic leak detection to pinpoint the burst location, especially if it's under a slab or inside a wall, then access the pipe and complete the repair.

Repair methods depend on the pipe type and damage extent. For copper pipes, we cut out the damaged section and solder in a new piece. For PVC or PEX, we use compression or push-fit couplings. For extensively corroded pipes, partial or full re-piping may be the more durable solution, and we explain that option alongside the immediate repair. After the repair, we test water pressure, check for leaks, and verify that all fixtures and appliances are working correctly. We also assess any water damage and can advise on drying and remediation steps to prevent mould or structural issues.

Strata Plumbing Services

Strata plumbing jobs in Claymore covers both common property (shared infrastructure like sewer lines, stormwater drains, water mains, and external fixtures) and lot-specific work (internal plumbing within individual units). We work with strata managers, owners corporations, and individual lot owners to diagnose faults, clarify responsibility boundaries (common property vs. Lot owner), and complete repairs or maintenance to keep the building compliant and functional.

Common strata plumbing issues include blocked sewer lines affecting multiple units, leaking common-area taps or irrigation, hot water unit failures in shared plant rooms, and drainage problems in car parks or common courtyards. We assess the fault, confirm whether it's common property or lot-specific, provide a fixed quote, and complete the work with minimal disruption to residents. For urgent issues (major leaks, sewage backups), we respond immediately, and for planned maintenance (hot water servicing, drain clearing), we schedule work around entry time windows and resident availability.

We provide documentation suitable for strata records, including scope of work, tests performed, compliance certificates (where required), and photos of completed work. This helps strata managers maintain accurate maintenance logs and demonstrate due diligence to owners corporations. We can also coordinate with other trades (builders, electricians) when plumbing work is part of a larger remediation or renovation project. All strata work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship, and we're familiar with the access, communication, and documentation requirements that make strata projects run smoothly.

General Plumbing Services

General plumbing support in Claymore covers the full range of residential and light commercial work: tap and toilet repairs, pipe leak fixes, fixture installations (basins, sinks, taps, toilets, bidets), water filter and purifier installations, backflow prevention device testing, and minor renovations (relocating fixtures, adding new taps or outlets). We also handle maintenance work like clearing slow drains, servicing hot water systems, replacing worn washers and cartridges, and testing and adjusting water pressure.

The usual process is: book the job, confirm access and any specific requirements (parking, entry instructions, site rules), assess the issue onsite, provide a fixed-price quote once scope is confirmed on site, complete the work using appropriate materials and methods, test the system to verify correct operation, clean up the work area, and provide a receipt or invoice suitable for your records. If the job uncovers additional faults (for example, a leaking tap reveals corroded pipework), we explain the options and provide a separate quote before proceeding with any extra work.

We bring fully stocked mobile workshops, so most jobs are completed on the first visit without needing to order parts or return later. If a specialised part is required (unusual tap cartridge, specific fixture model), we source it and schedule a return visit at a time that suits you. All general plumbing work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship, and we're committed to leaving the site tidy, respecting your home or business, and delivering a durable fix that solves the problem permanently.

24/7 Emergency Availability

Plumbing emergencies don't wait for business hours. A ruptured pipe at 2am, a gas smell on Sunday morning, or a sewage backup during a public holiday all require immediate professional help. We're available around the clock, every day of the year, for genuine emergencies where delay increases risk to property, health, or safety.

When you call, we assess urgency, allocate the nearest available plumber from our local dispatch points, and provide an ETA once the job is assigned. Urgent jobs are sent out first, and the plumber brings the tools and common parts needed to make the situation safe and, where possible, complete the repair on the first visit. If the fault requires specialised parts or extensive work that can't be done immediately, we make the system safe (isolate water or gas, stop the leak, contain the damage), explain what's needed, and schedule a return visit to complete the permanent fix.

After-hours and emergency callouts may attract different pricing compared to standard business-hours work, and we'll confirm that when you book. The quote provided onsite is still fixed by the job, and you decide whether to proceed once you know the cost and scope. Our goal is to reduce stress, stop damage, and restore safety and function as quickly as possible, backed by over 15 years of emergency response experience across Sydney.

Commercial Plumbing Services

Commercial plumbing services in Claymore covers a broad range of business and industrial sites: retail shops, offices, cafes and restaurants, schools, medical centres, warehouses, and light industrial premises. The work includes everything from blocked drains and leaking taps through to full fit-outs, backflow prevention compliance, grease trap servicing, and planned maintenance programs. Downtime in a commercial setting often means lost revenue, staff disruption, or health and safety risks, so we prioritise rapid response, clear communication, and efficient completion.

For emergency callouts (major leaks, blocked sewer lines, gas leaks), we dispatch immediately and work to make the system safe and restore function as quickly as possible. For planned work (fit-outs, fixture upgrades, compliance testing), we schedule around your operating hours, coordinate with other trades, and provide documentation suitable for building managers, compliance records, and maintenance logs. We're familiar with site induction requirements, sign-in procedures, and the communication protocols that keep commercial projects on track.

All commercial work is completed to Australian plumbing standards and relevant regulations, and we can provide compliance certificates for regulated work (backflow prevention, gas installations, drainage connections). We also offer maintenance contracts for businesses that want regular servicing, priority response, and fixed pricing for ongoing plumbing support. Whether it's a one-off repair or a long-term maintenance partnership, we're committed to keeping your business running smoothly and your plumbing systems compliant and functional.

Emergency Plumbing FAQ's in Claymore

These FAQs address common questions about emergency plumbing in Claymore. If your question isn't covered here, call us and we'll explain what's involved and confirm whether the situation needs immediate attention or can be scheduled.

How quickly can you reach Claymore for an emergency?

We dispatch from local hubs across Western Sydney, including our West Sydney base, and urgent jobs are sent out first. The nearest available plumber is allocated, and we provide an ETA once the job is assigned and the plumber is on the way. Arrival timing depends on current bookings, traffic, and distance, but immediate dispatch means the plumber is en route as soon as the call is triaged.

What does the fixed-price quote include?

The flat-rate quote covers the work required to resolve the issue as confirmed during the onsite assessment: labour, materials, testing, and site cleanup. If inspection reveals additional faults beyond the original scope, we explain what's needed and provide a separate quote before proceeding with any extra work. The price is set by the job, not by the hour, and there are no hidden costs added after completion.

Is there a call-out fee for emergency plumbing in Claymore?

Call-out fee arrangements can vary depending on the service area and time of day. Confirm the call-out fee status when booking so you know what to expect before the plumber is dispatched. The call-out fee (if applicable) is typically deducted from the total job cost if you proceed with the quoted work.

What should I do if I smell gas in my Claymore home?

If you smell gas, avoid ignition sources (don't use light switches, phones, or appliances inside), ventilate the area by opening windows and doors, turn off the gas meter if it's safe to reach, then leave the property and call a licensed gas fitter from outside. We'll dispatch immediately to locate the leak, make the system safe, and complete the repair once the source is identified and isolated.

Can you fix a broken pipe on the first visit?

In most cases, yes. We bring the tools and common materials needed to isolate the water supply, locate the burst, and complete the repair on the first visit. If the pipe damage is extensive or requires specialised parts, we make the system safe (stop the water flow, contain damage), explain what's needed, and schedule a return visit to complete the permanent fix once parts are sourced.

Do you work on Sundays and public holidays?

Yes, we're available around the clock, every day of the year, including Sundays and public holidays. Emergency plumbing doesn't wait for business hours, and we respond to genuine emergencies where delay increases risk to property, health, or safety. After-hours and public holiday callouts may attract different pricing, and we confirm that when you book.

What causes blocked drains in older Claymore homes?

In properties built during the 1970s and 1980s, blocked drains are often caused by tree root intrusion into ageing clay or early PVC sewer lines. Roots enter through microscopic cracks, expand over time, and trap debris, leading to slow drainage or backups. We use camera inspection to locate the blockage and assess pipe condition, then clear the obstruction using hydro jetting or mechanical cutting tools.

What's covered by the Lifetime Labour Warranty?

The Lifetime Labour Warranty covers the quality of our workmanship for as long as you own the property. If a fault occurs due to the way we completed the work, we'll return and fix it at no charge. The warranty does not cover general wear, damage from external causes, or faults in manufacturer-supplied parts (which are covered by their own warranties as per their terms).

Can you provide documentation for strata or insurance claims?

Yes, we provide detailed invoices, scope of work summaries, photos of completed work, and compliance certificates (where required for regulated work like gas installations or backflow prevention). This documentation is suitable for strata records, property managers, insurance claims, and building compliance logs, and we can tailor the format to meet specific requirements when requested at the time of booking.

How do I know if a plumbing issue is an emergency?

A plumbing issue is an emergency if delay increases the risk of property damage, safety hazards, or major disruption. Examples include active water leaks, burst pipes, sewage backing up inside the home, gas smells, or complete loss of water supply. If you're unsure, call us and we'll assess urgency and advise whether immediate dispatch is needed or if the job can be scheduled for a same-day or next-day window.
