Blocked Drains Plumber in Collaroy Plateau

A blocked drain in Collaroy Plateau usually starts with slow drainage, gurgling sounds, or an unpleasant odour near sinks, showers, or toilets. These symptoms indicate a restriction somewhere in the line, and the longer it's ignored, the higher the risk of overflow or pipe damage. We assess the blockage using CCTV check to confirm the cause and location, then provide a fixed-price quote before any clearing work begins.

In practice, we see different blockage patterns depending on property age. Older homes around the plateau's established streets often have tree root intrusion in clay pipes, where fine roots enter through cracks and trap debris over time. Newer properties tend to experience grease and soap scum buildup in kitchen and bathroom lines, or foreign objects like wipes and sanitary products that don't break down.

High-pressure water jetting is the standard clearing method for most blockages. It uses specialised nozzles to scour the pipe walls and pulverise roots or grease, restoring the line to near-full capacity without damaging the pipework. If inspection reveals structural damage or a collapsed section, we explain the options and confirm scope before proceeding with repair or pipe lining.

Our process is straightforward: diagnose the cause, confirm the scope, quote the job, clear the blockage, then test flow and verify the outcome. You're not asked to diagnose the fault or attempt DIY clearing. If you're unsure whether the issue needs urgent attention, a quick call is enough to book the right technician and sort out timing. Confirm the call-out fee status when booking, as it varies by location and job type.

A burst pipe in a Collaroy Plateau property can cause extensive water damage, especially if it occurs behind walls, under floors, or in the ceiling cavity. The priority is to isolate the water supply at the mains and arrange immediate assessment so the leak can be located, the damage can be contained, and the pipe can be repaired or replaced. We use electronic ultrasonic leak detection to pinpoint hidden bursts without invasive exploratory work.

Burst pipes typically result from corrosion in aging metal pipes, ground movement in reactive clay soils, or sudden pressure surges in the system. In older Collaroy Plateau homes, galvanised steel and copper pipes are common, and both are susceptible to pinhole leaks and splits over time. Newer properties with PVC pipes can still experience bursts if the pipe is poorly bedded or subjected to impact damage during landscaping or construction.

Where the burst is accessible, we replace the damaged section with new pipework and test the system before leaving. Where the pipe is beneath a slab, driveway, or established landscaping, trenchless pipe lining is often the least disruptive option. This involves inserting a resin-saturated liner into the existing pipe, which is then cured to form a seamless, structurally independent pipe-within-a-pipe. It avoids excavation and restores the integrity of the line.

Following our standard process, we confirm the scope, provide a fixed-price quote, complete the repair, then test flow and pressure to verify the outcome. You receive documentation suitable for landlords, agents, or insurance claims where required.

Gas repairs and fitting in Collaroy Plateau must be performed by a NSW-licensed gas fitter and comply with AS/NZS 5601.1 safety standards. Fixed Today Plumbing holds NSW gas fitting accreditation (Licence 305428C) and can install, repair, and maintain gas appliances, lines, and connections across commercial and residential properties.

A gas smell is urgent. If you notice the distinctive rotten egg odour, hear a hissing sound near an appliance, or see unusual soot buildup on burners, turn off the gas at the meter if safe to do so, ventilate the area, and arrange an assessment. We attend gas leak callouts as priority emergencies and use combustible gas detectors to locate the source and make the system safe.

Our gas services include hot water unit installation and repair, stove and cooktop installation, heater repair and installation, and gas line extensions for new appliances. All gas work is pressure-tested before recommissioning to confirm the system is gas-tight, and a compliance certificate is issued where required.

We explain the scope in plain English before starting work and confirm inclusions and exclusions in the quote. Once the work is completed, we test the appliance, verify safe operation, and provide documentation suitable for landlords, agents, or strata records.
