Plumber Duffys Forest

Fixed Today Plumbing services Duffys Forest and the Northern Beaches region with residential, strata, and commercial plumbing. Over 15 years, we've completed thousands of drainage, hot water, and gas fitting jobs across Sydney, giving us direct experience with the clay pipe failures common in properties built during the 1960s and 1970s expansion, as well as the modern PVC and copper systems in newer estates. This includes general plumbing repairs, blocked drain clearing using high-pressure water jetting, hot water system installations for major brands like Rheem and Rinnai, and emergency burst pipe repairs.

We arrive in uniform, confirm identity on arrival, and use drop sheets or protective covers to protect floors and surfaces in work areas. Boot covers or clean shoe covers are worn in homes when requested or when conditions require it. The work area is cleaned up at the end of the job, and debris generated by the work is removed. Following our standard process, we diagnose the issue using CCTV drain cameras or electronic leak detection where needed, explain the scope in plain English, provide a fixed upfront quote before starting, complete the repair or installation to Australian plumbing standards, then test and verify outcomes before leaving.

We're fully licensed (NSW Licence 305428C) and carry Public Liability and Workers Compensation insurance. Our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship covers the quality of installations and repairs, with standard manufacturer warranties applying to hardware and appliances. Pricing is upfront and fixed by the job, not by the hour, so you know the cost before work starts. There are no hidden fees. Call-out fee status varies by suburb; confirm when booking.

Blocked drains in Duffys Forest typically result from tree root intrusion in older terracotta or clay pipes, or Fat, Oil, and Grease (FOG) accumulation in kitchen lines. In properties built during the 1960s and 1970s, fine roots enter microscopic cracks in aging pipes, expand over time, and trap debris, causing structural failure. In kitchen lines, FOG solidifies as it cools, creating blockages that narrow the pipe diameter and trap solid waste. If left unchecked, blockages can cause backflow, flooding, and damage to floors and fixtures.

We clear blockages in showers, toilets, baths, sinks, and stormwater drains using high-pressure water jetting (hydro-jetting) and CCTV check equipment. The camera inspection identifies the blockage type, depth, and precise location within the property boundary without invasive digging. Hydro-jetting fires water at high pressure to pulverise roots and scour grease from pipe walls, restoring the line to near-full capacity. If inspection reveals structural damage, we explain the options (repair, relining, or replacement) and confirm scope before any additional work proceeds.

In practice, we commonly see root intrusion in streets with established trees and FOG buildup in kitchens where grease is poured down the sink. For properties near the Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, native flora with aggressive root systems can accelerate pipe deterioration. Following our standard process, we assess the affected area, confirm the cause using CCTV, provide a fixed upfront quote, clear the blockage, then test flow rates after clearing to verify the line is restored. Our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship backs the quality of the repair.

If you notice slow drainage, gurgling sounds, or water pooling around drains, a quick call can confirm whether this needs urgent attention. You don't need to diagnose it. Book a plumber and we'll confirm the cause onsite and describe what's next. Drain repair services are available across Duffys Forest, with immediate dispatch for urgent jobs.

A leaking tap in Duffys Forest typically indicates a worn washer, damaged O-ring, or corroded valve seat. That persistent drip can waste an astonishing amount of water per year, increasing utility bills and potentially signalling a larger issue with the plumbing system, such as high water pressure or a broken pipe behind the wall. If left unchecked, a minor leak can escalate into water damage to cabinetry, floors, and surrounding fixtures.

We diagnose leaking taps using visual inspection and pressure testing where needed, confirm the cause (washer, O-ring, valve seat, or underlying pressure issue), explain the repair options, provide a fixed upfront quote, then complete the repair and test for leaks before leaving. In practice, we commonly see worn washers in older tap fittings and corroded valve seats in properties with hard water. If inspection reveals extreme water pressure or a broken pipe, we explain the options and confirm scope before any additional work proceeds.

Shower leaks and blocked drains in Duffys Forest typically result from worn seals, cracked tiles, or hair and soap buildup in the drain. When seals around the shower screen or base deteriorate, water seeps into the floor cavity, causing water damage to subfloors, joists, and surrounding rooms. In shower drains, hair and soap accumulate over time, narrowing the drain diameter and causing slow drainage or backflow.

We diagnose shower leaks and blockages onsite, confirm the cause using visual inspection and water testing where needed, explain the repair options, provide a fixed upfront quote, then complete the repair and test for leaks and flow rates before leaving.

Toilet issues in Duffys Forest typically present as leaking toilets, clogged pipelines, cracked bowls, or continuously running cisterns. A leaking toilet can waste significant amounts of water and cause damage to floors and subfloors if left unchecked. A clogged pipeline can cause backflow and flooding, while a cracked bowl poses hygiene and safety risks. A continuously running cistern indicates a faulty flush valve, fill valve, or overflow pipe.

We diagnose toilet issues onsite, confirm the cause using visual inspection and water testing where needed, explain the repair or replacement options, provide a fixed upfront quote, complete the installation or repair, then test the system and verify outcomes before leaving.

Following our standard process, we assess the issue onsite, confirm the scope and responsibility boundaries (lot vs common property), explain the repair options, provide a fixed upfront quote, complete the repair to Australian Standards, then test and verify outcomes before leaving.

For gas leaks, turn off the gas at the meter, ventilate the area, and do not operate electrical switches. For ruptured pipes, turn off the water at the mains to stop the flow. For flooding, isolate the affected area if safe to do so.

Following our standard process, we assess the emergency onsite, confirm the cause and affected systems, explain the repair options, provide a fixed upfront quote, complete the repair to make it safe and stop damage, then test and verify outcomes before leaving.
