Plumber Darling Point

Fixed Today Plumbing handles the full range of domestic and commercial plumbing work in Darling Point, from diagnosing hidden leaks and clearing blocked drains to installing hot water systems and repairing burst pipes. We've been operating across Sydney for over 15 years, building a near-perfect 5-star rating from more than 800 verified customer reviews. Our team arrives in uniform, confirms identity on arrival, and explains the scope in plain English before starting work; important in occupied homes and security-sensitive properties where discretion and professionalism matter.

Emergency situations such as burst pipes, gas leaks, and sewer overflows are sent out immediately, with the nearest available licensed plumbing technician allocated from local dispatch points. Standard bookings are scheduled around your availability, with ETA updates provided where possible. We use drop sheets and boot covers to protect floors and finishes, and clean up the work area before leaving. All work is completed to Australian plumbing standards, with compliance paperwork provided where required for regulated installations.

Pricing is fixed and quoted upfront once scope is verified onsite, so you can decide whether to proceed before any work starts. The quote is valid for one month and includes all labour, parts, and testing. There are no hidden costs or surprise charges at the end of the job. Our Lifetime Labour Warranty covers all workmanship, giving you long-term confidence in the durability of the installation or repair.

Blocked drains in Darling Point properties typically result from tree root intrusion in older terracotta and clay sewer lines, or Fat, Oil, and Grease (FOG) buildup in kitchen waste lines. Roots seek moisture and enter pipes through hairline cracks or joints, then expand and trap debris, gradually restricting flow. In kitchen lines, fats solidify as they cool, narrowing the pipe diameter and catching solid waste. Both patterns are common in properties built before the 1980s, when clay and earthenware were standard drainage materials.

We start with a high-definition CCTV drain camera inspection to locate the blockage, identify the cause, and confirm the condition of the pipe. This allows us to see exactly what's causing the restriction and whether the pipe has structural damage that needs addressing. Once diagnosed, we use high-pressure water jetting (hydro-jetting) to clear the obstruction, firing water at controlled pressure through specialised nozzles to pulverise roots and scour grease from pipe walls. For foreign objects or compacted material, we may use mechanical clearing equipment.

If the camera reveals cracks, collapsed sections, or severe root damage, we explain the options; typically excavation and replacement, or trenchless pipe lining where the existing structure is still intact. Pipe relining involves inserting a resin-saturated liner into the damaged pipe, then inflating and curing it to create a seamless, structurally independent "pipe-within-a-pipe." This avoids excavating beneath driveways, gardens, or internal floors, and is often the preferred approach in established properties. All options are quoted upfront once scope is finalised.

Roof and gutter leaks can cause internal water damage, ceiling stains, mould growth, and structural deterioration if not addressed quickly. In Darling Point's mix of heritage and modern properties, leaks often trace back to deteriorated flashing around chimneys and skylights, corroded gutter joints, or blocked downpipes that cause water to overflow and penetrate roof cavities. We diagnose the source of the leak, then repair or replace the affected components to restore weatherproofing.

Our approach starts with a visual inspection to locate the entry point, often not directly above the visible stain, as water can travel along beams or sarking before dripping through. We check flashing seals, gutter alignment, downpipe flow, and roof penetrations such as vent pipes and aerials. Once the cause is confirmed, we reseal joints, replace damaged flashing, clear blockages, or install gutter guards to prevent future debris buildup. For corroded metal gutters, we assess whether patching is viable or full replacement is needed.

All gutter and roof repairs are completed with materials suited to the existing roof type and local weather exposure. We test drainage flow and check seals before leaving, and provide photos of the completed work where helpful for insurance or strata records. Regular maintenance, such as annual gutter clearing and flashing inspections—reduces the likelihood of leaks developing in the first place.

A malfunctioning toilet disrupts daily routines and can waste significant water if left unrepaired. Common issues in Darling Point properties include continuously running cisterns (usually caused by a worn flapper valve or faulty fill valve), weak or incomplete flushing (often due to blocked rim jets or incorrect water level), and leaks at the base (typically caused by a failed wax seal or cracked pan). We diagnose the fault, explain the cause, and provide a fixed-price quote for repair or replacement before starting work.

Running toilets waste hundreds of litres per day as water continuously flows from the cistern into the bowl. The usual cause is a deteriorated flapper valve that no longer seals properly, or a fill valve that doesn't shut off once the cistern is full. We replace the faulty components with quality parts and adjust the water level to ensure efficient, quiet operation. For older toilets with outdated single-flush mechanisms, we can retrofit dual-flush systems to reduce water consumption.

Leaks at the base often indicate a failed wax seal between the pan outlet and the floor waste. If not addressed, water can seep into the subfloor, causing rot and structural damage. We remove the pan, replace the seal, and re-secure the toilet, testing for leaks before finishing. If the pan itself is cracked or the internal trap is damaged, replacement is the safest option, and we help you select a model that suits your bathroom layout and water efficiency goals.

A broken pipe can flood floors, damage walls and ceilings, and saturate furnishings within minutes. In Darling Point properties, ruptured pipes often occur in concealed locations such as ceiling cavities, wall cavities, or beneath ground-floor slabs, making the leak difficult to locate without specialist equipment. Common causes include corrosion in older copper or galvanised steel pipes, pressure surges, ground movement, or freezing (rare in Sydney but possible in uninsulated roof spaces during cold snaps).

When a burst pipe is suspected, the priority is to stop further water damage by isolating the affected section or turning off the main water supply. Fixed Today Plumbing provides 24/7 emergency response for burst pipes, with immediate dispatch to locate the burst, isolate the water supply, and begin repairs. We use electronic ultrasonic leak detection equipment to pinpoint hidden leaks without unnecessary demolition, then access the pipe, cut out the damaged section, and install a permanent repair using quality fittings and materials.

Once the repair is complete, we test the system under full pressure to confirm the fix is durable and there are no secondary leaks. We also inspect adjacent pipework for signs of corrosion or stress that could indicate future failures. If the burst has caused ceiling or wall damage, we can coordinate with builders or restorers, and provide documentation and photos for insurance claims. Our Lifetime Labour Warranty covers all burst pipe repair workmanship.

Fixed Today Plumbing handles the full range of general plumbing maintenance and repairs for Darling Point properties, from replacing tap washers and fixing leaking toilets to rerouting pipework during renovations and installing new fixtures in kitchens and bathrooms. Our mobile workshops are fully stocked with common parts and fittings, allowing us to complete most standard jobs in a single visit without needing to order components or return for a second appointment.

Routine maintenance, such as annual hot water supply system servicing, drain inspections, and tap washer replacements, prevents small issues from escalating into costly emergency repairs. We can also assess older plumbing systems for signs of corrosion, leaks, or code compliance issues, and provide a report with recommended actions and priority levels. This is particularly useful in older Darling Point homes where original plumbing may be approaching the end of its serviceable life.

All general plumbing work is completed to meet Australian Standards, with fixed-price quotes provided once the scope is confirmed onsite. We protect floors and finishes with drop sheets and boot covers, clean up the work area before leaving, and test all repairs to confirm they're functioning correctly. Our Lifetime Labour Warranty covers all workmanship, and we provide receipts and documentation suitable for landlords, agents, and property records.

Fixed Today Plumbing provides commercial plumbing services to businesses, retail spaces, hospitality venues, and office buildings across Darling Point, with a focus on minimising downtime, maintaining compliance, and coordinating work around operational hours. Commercial plumbing differs from residential work in scale, complexity, and regulatory requirements; systems are larger, usage is higher, and compliance documentation is often required for council, health inspectors, or building certifiers.

Common commercial plumbing work includes clearing blocked grease traps and commercial drains, repairing or replacing high-capacity hot water systems, installing and testing backflow prevention devices, and maintaining fire service pipework and hydrants. We also handle plumbing fit-outs for new tenancies, bathroom and kitchen upgrades, and emergency repairs such as burst water mains or sewer overflows that require urgent attention to prevent business disruption.

We work closely with business owners, facility managers, and head contractors to schedule work during low-impact periods such as after-hours or weekends, and provide clear communication throughout the job. All commercial plumbing work is completed to Australian Standards and relevant codes, with compliance certificates issued where required. Our team follows site-specific safety procedures, completes inductions where needed, and provides detailed job documentation for maintenance logs and compliance records.
