Plumbing Drummoyne: Services in Drummoyne

Fixed Today Plumbing operates across Drummoyne with a multi-van fleet of licensed master plumbers and specialised technicians, ensuring we can match the right expertise to your job. All attending technicians hold current NSW plumbing licences, and we complete police checks and background checks for every team member. When a plumber arrives, they'll identify themselves before entry, explain what they're doing in plain English, and confirm access permissions at the door?particularly important in occupied homes, security-sensitive properties, or strata buildings with entry protocols.

We're available 24/7 for emergencies, with immediate dispatch for urgent jobs and same-day service for all standard plumbing and gas enquiries. Response timing depends on current bookings and traffic conditions, but we provide clear arrival communication and ETA updates where possible. For non-urgent work, we can coordinate with property managers, strata, or tenants to meet entry windows and minimise disruption to your routine.

Our pricing model is fixed and upfront: the price is quoted by the job, not by the hour, and there are no hidden fees. Once scope is finalised onsite, you receive a fixed-fee quote before work starts, and that's the price you pay. Call-out fee status varies by service area, so it's worth confirming when you book. We also offer a $55 discount for customers mentioning "web55" (limited to one per person on paying jobs).

All work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship, which covers the quality and durability of the installation or repair we complete. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to any hardware or appliances supplied. If inspection reveals a larger issue or structural damage, we explain the options and confirm scope before any additional work proceeds?you decide once you know what's involved.

We use drop sheets or protective covers to protect floors and surfaces in work areas, wear boot covers or clean shoe covers when requested or when conditions require it, and clean up the work area at the end of the job, removing debris generated by the work. For premium-finish homes or properties with stone benchtops, tiled bathrooms, or timber floors, we take reasonable care around finished surfaces and isolate the work area where practical to reduce mess.

Our service footprint extends beyond Drummoyne to neighbouring Inner West suburbs including Flemington, Canada Bay, Ashbury, and Sydenham, and we can travel up to a 60km radius from base hubs for emergency calls. Whether you need hot water servicing, general plumbing maintenance, gas fitting, emergency plumbing, or solutions for blocked drains, our team has the expertise and equipment to handle it all.

A burst or leaking pipe requires immediate attention to stop water damage and make the property safe. Fixed Today Plumbing dispatches from localised hubs across the Inner West, reaching Drummoyne properties within typical response windows for urgent jobs. We isolate the affected section, assess the cause, and provide a fixed-price quote before starting permanent repairs.

Pipe failures in Drummoyne's older homes typically trace back to natural wear and deterioration in original copper or galvanised steel supply lines, high water pressure fluctuations, or ground movement in reactive clay soils. In properties built before the 1970s, we commonly see pinhole leaks in copper pipes caused by internal corrosion, or burst joints in galvanised steel lines that have reached the end of their service life. Modern PVC and PEX systems are less prone to corrosion but can still fail at joints or under sustained high pressure.

Our assessment confirms the affected area, the pipe material, and whether the leak is isolated or part of a larger deterioration pattern. If the pipe is accessible and the damage is localised, we can often replace the affected section without opening walls or ceilings. If the pipe is concealed or the damage is widespread, we explain the options?targeted repair, section replacement, or full re-pipe?and confirm scope before proceeding.

For damaged pipes beneath concrete slabs, driveways, or established landscaping, we offer trenchless pipe lining solutions that eliminate the need for disruptive excavation. Relining involves inserting a flexible, resin-saturated liner into the existing damaged pipe, inflating it, and curing it with hot water or UV light to create a structurally independent "pipe-within-a-pipe." This method is effective for PVC, clay, cast iron, and concrete pipes, provided the original structure has not completely collapsed.

We test and verify outcomes after repair, confirming flow, pressure, and function before leaving. If the burst was caused by high pressure, we can assess whether a pressure-limiting valve is needed to prevent recurrence. All work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship.

We detect and resolve leaking taps in Drummoyne by identifying the fault?typically worn washers, O-rings, or cartridge seals?and replacing the failed component to restore a watertight seal. This covers typical dripping faucets in kitchens, bathrooms, and laundries, as well as constantly running toilets and leaky outdoor taps; if the tap body or valve assembly is corroded or damaged beyond repair, we explain the options and confirm scope before proceeding.

A dripping tap may seem minor, but it wastes water, increases bills, and can cause water staining or damage to sinks, benchtops, and cabinetry over time. In heritage Drummoyne homes with original tap fittings, we commonly see worn washers in compression-style taps, or failed ceramic disc cartridges in mixer taps installed during renovations. Both are straightforward repairs when the tap body is still in good condition.

Our assessment confirms the tap type, fault symptoms, and whether the tap can be repaired or needs replacement. For minor faults, we replace the worn component onsite and test for leaks. For corroded or damaged tap bodies, we source a matching replacement or recommend a modern equivalent that suits the existing plumbing configuration, then provide a flat-rate quote before proceeding.

We also use CCTV inspections and electronic ultrasonic leak detection to pinpoint hidden leaks behind walls, under floors, or in concealed pipework where the source is not immediately visible. This avoids unnecessary wall or floor opening and allows us to target the repair with minimal disruption.

We test the tap after repair or replacement, confirming a watertight seal and proper flow before leaving. If the leak was caused by high water pressure, we can assess whether a pressure-limiting valve is needed to prevent recurrence. All work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship.

When a shower is leaking, draining slowly, or delivering inconsistent water temperature, we diagnose the fault and provide a fixed-price quote for repair or replacement. This covers typical issues such as worn tap cartridges, blocked waste traps, and failed shower screens or waterproofing membranes; if inspection reveals structural damage or concealed leaks requiring wall or floor opening, the options are explained and scope is defined before any additional work proceeds.

Shower leaks in Drummoyne's older homes often trace back to failed waterproofing membranes beneath tiled shower bases, or to cracked grout and silicone seals that allow water to penetrate the substrate. Over time, this can cause timber frame rot, ceiling damage in rooms below, or mould growth in wall cavities. In more recent properties, leaks often result from worn mixer cartridges, loose shower screen seals, or blocked waste grates that cause water to overflow the shower base.

Our assessment confirms the affected area, the shower configuration, and whether the leak is surface-level or concealed. We test water flow, drainage, and temperature control to identify the fault. For surface-level issues?such as worn seals, blocked waste, or faulty mixer cartridges?we complete the repair onsite and test for leaks. For concealed leaks or structural damage, we use moisture detection equipment to confirm the extent of water penetration, then explain the options and provide a fixed price quote before proceeding.

We work carefully around finished surfaces such as tiled walls, stone benchtops, and frameless glass screens, and we use drop sheets or protective covers to protect floors and fittings in the bathroom. For premium-finish bathrooms or properties with custom tilework, we take reasonable care to minimise mess and confirm scope before starting work that may affect visible fixtures.

We test the shower after repair or replacement, confirming watertight seals, proper drainage, and consistent water temperature before leaving. If the leak was caused by inadequate waterproofing or poor drainage design, we explain what's needed to prevent recurrence and confirm scope before any additional work proceeds. All work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship.

All gas fitting work in Drummoyne must be performed by a fully NSW-licensed gasfitter and comply with AS/NZS 5601.1 safety standards. Fixed Today Plumbing holds current NSW gas fitting licences (Licence 305428C), and we're equipped to handle all aspects of gas plumbing, from new appliance installations and gas heating connections to leak detection and urgent gas leakage repairs.

Gas leaks pose a serious safety risk. The distinctive "rotten egg" odour in natural gas is an added mercaptan warning signal. Other indicators include hissing sounds near appliances, dying vegetation over underground gas lines, or unusual soot buildup on burners. If you suspect a gas leak, isolate the gas supply at the meter if safe to do so, ventilate the area, and arrange an assessment so the system can be checked and made safe.

Our gas leak detection uses specialised equipment such as combustible gas detectors and thermal imaging to identify leaks behind walls, in sub-floors, or in concealed pipework. Once the leak is located, we isolate the affected section, assess the cause, and provide a fixed-price quote for repair or replacement. All repaired or altered gas installations must undergo a pressure loss test to ensure the system is gas-tight before being recommissioned, and we provide compliance certificates where required to verify the installation meets safety standards.

For new gas appliance installations?such as cooktops, ovens, gas heating units, or continuous flow hot water systems?we confirm the existing gas supply capacity, connect the appliance correctly, isolate it from other circuits where required, then test for leaks and verify proper operation before leaving. We also ensure that all installations include the mandatory safety devices required by AS/NZS 5601.1, such as isolation valves and ventilation where applicable.

We work carefully in occupied homes and business premises, using drop sheets or protective covers to protect floors and surfaces, and we clean up the work area at the end of the job. For commercial properties or strata buildings, we can follow site requirements such as inductions and sign-in procedures, and we provide job documentation suitable for maintenance logs and compliance records.
