Looking for a Specific Type of Plumber in Dural?

Fixed Today Plumbing services Dural NSW 2158 with licensed plumbers dispatched from local hubs across the Hills District, typically reaching properties within standard response windows. Dural sits in an area where larger acreage properties and older residential pockets meet newer subdivisions, meaning pipework materials and access conditions vary significantly by street and era. We schedule work around property access realities such as longer driveways, gated entries, and properties set back from the road, confirming arrival timing and entry instructions when you book.

Drainage blockages in Dural often involve tree root intrusion in older terracotta or clay lines, especially where established eucalypts and ficus trees are common in the area. Hot water system failures tend to show up first as fluctuating temperatures or rust-coloured water, particularly in storage tanks affected by sediment buildup. Gas work is handled by our licensed gas fitters, and all installations are pressure-tested and issued with compliance certificates where required under AS/NZS 5601.1.

We provide upfront fixed pricing before work starts, so you can decide once scope is confirmed onsite. There are no hidden fees. Our pricing is by the job, not by the hour, and the quote remains valid for one month from the date issued. All workmanship is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty. Fixed Today Plumbing is fully licensed (NSW Plumber, Drainer & Gasfitter - 305428C) and adequately insured with Public Liability and Workers Compensation, meaning you're protected if accidental property damage occurs during work or in the event of workplace injuries on the job.

We've been operating across Sydney for over 15 years, with a multi-van fleet and near-perfect 5-star rating based on 800+ verified customer reviews. Our technicians arrive in uniform, confirm their identity on arrival, and leave work areas clean and tidy. We can accommodate security-sensitive requests, work around access constraints disclosed at booking, and provide documentation suitable for landlords, agents, and strata where required.

Beyond Dural, we service South Maroota, Castle Hill, Carlingford, Baulkham Hills, and Nelson, plus all Sydney metropolitan areas. If you're dealing with an urgent plumbing issue or need a quote for a standard job, call 1800 349 338 to confirm scope and arrange a visit.

How Fixed Today Plumbing Works in Dural

A residential plumbing system performs three core functions: sanitary drainage (toilets, sinks, showers), stormwater drainage (roof and surface water), and potable water supply (taps, appliances, hot water). Each function relies on a network of drain lines, water supply pipes, vent pipes, fixture connections, and isolation valves working together without leaks or blockages.

When something fails, the cause is usually straightforward but the fix requires the right tools and a methodical approach. Tree roots enter cracks in aging clay pipes. Sediment accumulates in hot water tanks and insulates heating elements. Grease solidifies in kitchen waste lines and traps debris. Pressure fluctuations stress joints in older copper or galvanised steel.

We diagnose the fault using high-definition CCTV drain cameras for blockages, electronic leak detection for hidden bursts, and thermal imaging where gas or concealed leaks are suspected. Once the cause is identified, we explain what's involved, provide a fixed-price quote with no hidden fees, and confirm scope before starting. Work is completed to Australian plumbing standards, tested for flow and function, and the site is cleaned up before we leave.

Our process follows the same structure across all jobs:

  1. Assessment: Detailed onsite inspection using diagnostic tools to identify the fault and affected area.
  2. Scope confirmation: Explanation of what's required, what's included, and what affects cost or timing.
  3. Fixed quote: Upfront pricing before work starts, valid for one month.
  4. Completion: Repair or installation performed by licensed technicians.
  5. Verification: Testing of the system to confirm the fix, followed by site cleanup.

We're a family-owned business with over 15 years of operation in Sydney, and our team includes licensed master plumbers and specialised gas fitters. All attending technicians are licensed in NSW, background-checked, and arrive in uniform with identification.

If you're not sure whether the issue is urgent or what's involved, a quick call is enough to confirm. We explain what the first visit involves, what happens next, and how the work is verified once complete.

Immediate Dispatch for Emergencies

Urgent jobs are sent out first, and the nearest available technician is allocated from local dispatch hubs. We provide ETA updates where possible and confirm arrival timing when you book.

Fully Licensed and Insured

All technicians are NSW-licensed plumbers (Licence 305428C). We're comprehensively insured with Public Liability (protection if accidental property damage occurs) and Workers Compensation (protection related to workplace injuries on the job).

Roof and Gutter Installations

Roof and gutter systems in Dural manage stormwater runoff from the roof to the street or absorption system. When gutters become blocked with leaves, debris, or sediment, water overflows and can damage fascia boards, eaves, and internal ceilings. In heavy rain, a blocked downpipe can cause water to pool on the roof or flood into the property.

We clear blockages using high-pressure water jetting where debris has compacted in downpipes, and we inspect the gutter line for rust, sagging sections, or loose brackets that affect flow. If the gutter or downpipe has deteriorated beyond repair, we can replace sections or install new roofing and guttering systems to restore proper drainage.

Dural properties with established trees often see seasonal leaf buildup, particularly in autumn. Regular clearing reduces the risk of overflow and extends the life of the gutter system. If you're noticing water staining on external walls or pooling near the foundation after rain, a blocked or damaged gutter is a common cause.

We confirm the affected sections during the first visit, explain what's required, and provide a fixed quote before starting. All work is tested for flow and the site is cleaned up once complete.

Overflowing Sewer and Stormwater Drains

Sewer and stormwater systems in Dural handle two separate functions. Sewer lines carry wastewater from toilets, sinks, and showers to the street main. Stormwater lines carry roof and surface water to the street gutter or absorption pit. When either system becomes blocked, water backs up and can cause internal flooding, foul odours, or property damage.

Common causes include tree root intrusion in older clay or terracotta pipes, debris and grease buildup in kitchen waste lines, and sediment or leaf matter blocking stormwater grates. In Dural, where established trees are common, root intrusion is a frequent issue in properties built before the 1990s.

We use high-definition drain inspection cameras to locate the blockage and identify the cause, then clear the line using high-pressure water jetting at pressures sufficient to pulverise roots and scour grease from pipe walls. If the CCTV check reveals cracks, collapsed sections, or structural damage, we explain the options and confirm scope before any additional work proceeds.

For properties under Sydney Water jurisdiction, compliance certificates are issued where required. We test flow rates after clearing and provide documentation suitable for landlords, agents, and strata where needed.

If you're experiencing slow drainage, gurgling sounds, or sewage odours, it's worth arranging an assessment before the blockage worsens. A blocked sewer or stormwater drain can escalate quickly during heavy rain.

Pipe Relining

Pipe relining is a trenchless repair method used to fix cracked, leaking, or root-damaged pipes without excavation. A flexible resin-saturated liner is inserted into the existing pipe, inflated, and cured in place using hot water or UV light. Once hardened, the liner forms a seamless pipe-within-a-pipe that is structurally independent and resistant to further root intrusion.

This method is effective for PVC, clay, terracotta, cast iron, and concrete pipes, provided the original structure has not completely collapsed. It's commonly used in Dural for sewer and stormwater lines affected by tree roots, particularly where excavation would damage driveways, landscaping, or established gardens.

We confirm suitability using camera inspection to assess the pipe condition and measure the affected length. If relining is appropriate, we explain the process, provide a fixed quote, and schedule the work. The repair is typically completed in a single day, depending on access and the length of the run.

Pipe relining avoids the cost and disruption of traditional excavation, and the cured liner carries a manufacturer's warranty on materials. Our Lifetime Labour Warranty covers the installation workmanship.

Burst Pipe Repair

Burst pipes occur when internal pressure exceeds the pipe's structural capacity, or when external stress causes a joint or section to fail. Common causes include extreme water pressure, corrosion in aging copper or galvanised steel, tree root pressure on underground lines, shifting soil, and freezing temperatures during winter in elevated areas.

A burst pipe usually presents as sudden water loss, visible pooling, damp patches on walls or ceilings, or a spike in water usage without explanation. If the burst is in a concealed location such as under a slab or inside a wall cavity, the first sign may be reduced pressure or water staining.

We locate the burst using electronic leak detection or thermal imaging, isolate the affected section, and assess whether repair or replacement is required. If the pipe material is nearing the end of its service life or multiple sections are corroded, replacement may be the more durable option.

For urgent situations, we can make the system safe and restore water supply as a temporary measure while arranging a permanent fix. All work is pressure-tested before the site is handed back, and we verify flow and function before leaving.

If you suspect a hidden leak or notice unexplained water loss, our leak detection service can pinpoint the source without invasive investigation. The sooner a burst is identified and repaired, the less damage it causes to surrounding structures.

Gas Plumbing

Gas plumbing involves the installation, repair, and maintenance of natural gas lines and appliances. All gas work in NSW must be performed by a licensed gas fitter and comply with AS/NZS 5601.1 safety standards. Fixed Today Plumbing employs licensed gas fitters qualified to handle gas leak detection, appliance installation, gas line extensions, and compliance testing.

Gas leaks are identified by the distinctive "rotten egg" odour (an added mercaptan signal), hissing sounds near appliances, or dying vegetation over underground lines. If you suspect a gas leak, turn off gas appliances immediately, ventilate the area, and arrange an assessment. Do not attempt repairs or use electrical switches until the system is checked and made safe.

We use combustible gas detectors and pressure-loss testing to locate leaks and verify that the system is gas-tight after repairs. All installations and alterations are pressure-tested and issued with a compliance certificate where required by regulation.

Common gas plumbing work in Dural includes connecting new gas hot water systems, installing gas cooktops and ovens, extending gas lines for outdoor heating or barbecues, and investigating suspected gas leaks in aging or damaged lines.

Gas work is not suitable for DIY attempts. The risk of fire, explosion, or carbon monoxide poisoning is significant if installations are not completed correctly. If you're planning a kitchen renovation, adding an outdoor gas appliance, or replacing an old gas heater, arrange a properly licensed gas fitter to handle the connection and compliance paperwork.

Blocked and Leaking Toilets

Toilet blockages occur when solid waste, excessive toilet paper, or foreign objects obstruct the trap or waste line. A partial blockage causes slow flushing or incomplete clearing. A complete blockage prevents flushing entirely and can cause sewage to back up into the bowl or overflow onto the floor.

Leaking toilets usually present as water pooling around the base, a constantly running cistern, or visible cracks in the bowl or tank. A leaking cistern wastes water and increases bills. A cracked bowl or compromised wax seal at the base can allow sewage to seep into flooring and subfloor spaces, causing odours and structural damage.

We clear blockages using mechanical augers or high-pressure jetting where the obstruction is further down the line. If the blockage is caused by tree roots or a collapsed section in the waste line, we use CCTV check to locate the fault and confirm the repair method.

For leaking cisterns, we replace faulty fill valves, flappers, or flush mechanisms. For cracked bowls or failed seals, replacement is usually the most reliable solution. We can also handle full bathroom plumbing installations and upgrades, including new toilet installations and fixture replacements.

If you're dealing with a slow-flushing toilet, constant running water, or visible leaks, arrange an assessment before the issue worsens. A leaking toilet can waste thousands of litres per year and compromise flooring if left unaddressed.

Emergency Plumbing

Plumbing emergencies include active leaks causing property damage, complete loss of water supply, sewage backups, gas leaks, and burst pipes. These situations require immediate attention to prevent further damage, restore essential services, or eliminate safety risks.

Fixed Today Plumbing operates 24/7 for emergency plumbing situations. Urgent jobs are sent out first, and the nearest available technician is allocated from local dispatch points. We provide ETA updates where possible and confirm arrival timing when you book.

For active leaks, the priority is isolating the water supply to stop damage while the plumber is on the way. If you're unsure which valve to turn or where the isolation point is located, we can provide brief safety-first guidance by phone to reduce harm until the technician arrives.

Gas leaks require immediate action. Turn off gas appliances, ventilate the area, and do not use electrical switches or create sparks. Arrange an assessment so the system can be checked and made safe.

For sewage backups, avoid using toilets, sinks, or showers until the blockage is cleared. Sewage contains harmful bacteria and the longer it remains in the property, the greater the contamination risk.

We assess the situation onsite, make the system safe, and outline the next step. If a temporary repair is possible to restore function while arranging a permanent fix, we'll explain the options and provide a fixed quote before proceeding.

Water Filters

Water filtration systems remove sediment, chlorine, heavy metals, and other contaminants from tap water. Sediment enters the supply from aging pipes, and chlorine is added during the sanitation process. Some water supplies may contain trace levels of lead, arsenic, or other substances that accumulate over time.

A water filtration system improves taste, reduces odours, and provides added reassurance for households concerned about water quality. Common systems include under-sink filters for drinking water, whole-house filters for all taps and appliances, and reverse osmosis units for higher levels of purification.

We install, service, and replace water filters across Dural. Installation involves connecting the filter unit to the cold water supply line, mounting the housing securely, and testing for leaks and flow rate. Filter cartridges require periodic replacement depending on usage and water quality.

If you're noticing sediment in tap water, rust staining on fixtures, or chlorine taste and odour, a filtration system may be appropriate. We explain the options, recommend a system suited to your water quality and household needs, and provide a fixed quote before installation.

Hot Water Systems

Hot water systems in Dural include electric storage tanks, gas continuous flow units, heat pumps, and solar systems. Each type has different installation requirements, energy efficiency characteristics, and suitability depending on household size, usage patterns, and available space.

Electric storage systems heat water in an insulated tank using an immersion element. They're reliable and have lower upfront costs, but running costs are higher due to standby heat loss. Gas continuous flow systems heat water on demand, providing unlimited hot water without storage. They're more energy-efficient but require gas connection and adequate ventilation.

Heat pumps extract warmth from ambient air to heat water, using significantly less electricity than traditional electric systems. Solar systems use roof-mounted collectors to preheat water, reducing reliance on electric or gas boosters.

We install, repair, and replace hot water supply systems from major brands including Rheem, Rinnai, Dux, Bosch, and Thermann. Installation must comply with AS/NZS 3500 standards, including the mandatory fitting of Tempering Valves to limit water temperature at the tap (preventing scalding) and Pressure Relief Valves to prevent tank over-pressurisation.

Common faults include fluctuating temperatures (often caused by a failing thermostat or sediment buildup), rust-coloured water (indicating a corroded sacrificial anode or tank lining), and complete loss of hot water service (element failure in electric systems, or pilot light and gas valve issues in gas systems).

If your water heater is over ten years old, experiencing frequent faults, or showing visible rust and corrosion, replacement may be more cost-effective than ongoing repairs. We assess the system onsite, explain the options, and provide a fixed quote for repair or replacement.

Proper installation and regular maintenance extend the life of the system and reduce the risk of premature failure. If you're noticing reduced water pressure, inconsistent temperatures, or unusual noises from the tank, arrange an assessment before the system fails completely.

Blocked Drains

Blocked drains occur when debris, grease, hair, soap scum, or tree roots accumulate in waste lines and restrict water flow. In kitchens, grease and food particles solidify as they cool and trap additional waste. In bathrooms, hair and soap combine to form dense clumps that adhere to pipe walls. In outdoor drains, leaves, sediment, and root intrusion are common causes.

Early signs include slow drainage, gurgling sounds when water is running, foul odours from drains, and water pooling around fixtures. If left unaddressed, a partial blockage can become complete, causing sewage to back up into sinks, showers, or toilets.

We diagnose blocked drains using CCTV cameras to locate the obstruction and identify the cause, then clear the line using high-pressure water jetting or mechanical augers. If the camera inspection reveals structural damage, root intrusion, or pipe deterioration, we explain the repair options and confirm scope before proceeding.

For properties in Dural with established trees, root intrusion is a common issue in older clay or terracotta sewer lines. Roots enter through cracks or joints and expand over time, eventually blocking the pipe entirely. In these cases, clearing the blockage provides temporary relief, but drain relining or replacement may be required for a permanent solution.

If you're experiencing slow drainage or recurring blockages, arrange an assessment before the issue escalates. A complete blockage can cause sewage to overflow into the property, creating health risks and requiring costly cleanup.

Plumbing FAQ's in Dural

Common questions from Dural residents about plumbing services, pricing, response times, and what's involved in the first visit. If your question isn't covered below, call 1800 349 338 to confirm scope and arrange an assessment.

How quickly can you reach Dural for an emergency?

Urgent jobs are sent out first, and the nearest available technician is allocated from local dispatch locations across the Hills District. We provide ETA updates where possible and confirm arrival timing when you book. Response windows depend on current bookings, traffic conditions, and the location of the nearest available plumber at the time of the call.

Do you charge a call-out fee in Dural?

Call-out fee arrangements vary by suburb and job type. Some service areas have no call-out fee, while others apply a standard call-out that is deducted from the final invoice if work proceeds. Confirm the call-out fee status for your specific address when booking, and we'll explain how it applies before the visit is scheduled.

What does the fixed-price quote include?

The fixed-fee quote covers labour, parts, and materials required to complete the work as described in the scope. The price is by the job, not by the hour, and there are no hidden costs. If inspection reveals additional work is required beyond the original scope, we explain the options and provide a separate quote before proceeding. You can decide once the full scope is defined.

Are your plumbers licensed for gas work in NSW?

Yes. All gas work is performed by licensed gas fitters who hold current NSW gas fitting licences. Gas installations and repairs are pressure-tested and issued with compliance certificates where required under AS/NZS 5601.1. Our business licence is NSW Plumber, Drainer & Gasfitter - 305428C.

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

Turn off gas appliances immediately, ventilate the area by opening windows and doors, and do not use electrical switches or create sparks. Arrange an assessment so the system can be checked and made safe. While the plumber is on the way, avoid using the property if the odour is strong, and do not attempt to locate or repair the leak yourself.

How long does a typical drain clearing take?

Most standard blockages in reachable pipes are cleared within one to two hours, including camera inspection and high-pressure jetting. Timing varies depending on the blockage type, pipe material, and access conditions. If the camera inspection reveals structural damage or root intrusion requiring relining or excavation, we explain the options and confirm timing before proceeding.

Can you fix a burst pipe the same day?

In most cases, yes. We carry common pipe fittings and materials on the van, and straightforward ruptured pipe repairs in accessible locations are typically completed the same day. If the burst is in a concealed location or requires excavation, timing depends on access and the extent of the damage. We assess the situation onsite and explain what's involved before starting.

What causes tree roots to block drains in Dural?

Tree roots seek moisture and enter sewer lines through microscopic cracks or loose joints in aging clay, terracotta, or concrete pipes. Once inside, the roots expand and trap debris, eventually blocking the line. Dural properties with established eucalypts, ficus, and other large trees are particularly susceptible, especially where pipes were laid before the 1990s. CCTV check identifies the location and severity of root intrusion, and we explain the clearing and repair options once scope is defined.

Do you provide documentation for landlords and strata?

Yes. We provide invoices, receipts, and job documentation suitable for landlords, agents, and strata records. Where compliance certificates are required for gas work or drainage alterations under Sydney Water jurisdiction, these are issued upon completion. We can also provide photos or explanations of findings where helpful for property management purposes.

What's included in your Lifetime Labour Warranty?

Our Lifetime Labour Warranty covers the workmanship on all repairs and installations performed by Fixed Today Plumbing. This means if a fault occurs due to our installation or repair work, we'll return and fix it at no additional labour cost. The warranty does not cover wear and tear, damage caused by external factors, or manufacturer defects in supplied parts (which are covered by the manufacturer's warranty). We stand by the work we complete and provide documentation of the warranty terms with your invoice.
