Plumber Elanora Heights

General plumbing help in Elanora Heights covers routine repairs, fixture replacements, and renovation work across kitchens, bathrooms, and laundries. This includes leaking taps, toilet cistern faults, pipe connections, and new fixture installations; if inspection reveals structural issues or concealed damage, we explain the options and confirm scope before any additional work proceeds.

The process starts with an onsite assessment. We confirm what's affected, check access to pipework, and provide a fixed-price quote before starting. The price is by the job, not by the hour, so you know the cost upfront and can decide once scope is verified. There are no surprise charges, and the quote is valid for one month from the date issued.

For renovation projects, we work with you to select fixtures and materials that suit the space and your budget. Whether it's a full bathroom overhaul or a kitchen tap upgrade, we coordinate the plumbing work around your timeline and explain what's involved at each stage. The team uses drop sheets to protect finished surfaces, wears boot covers where needed, and isolates the work area to reduce mess.

All work is completed to meet Australian Standards, and we test function before leaving (flow rates, leak checks, and fixture operation). You'll receive an invoice suitable for landlords, agents, or business records, and our Lifetime Labour Warranty covers workmanship. If you're working with a builder or renovator, we can coordinate access and follow site requirements such as inductions or sign-in procedures.

When a hot water system fails in Elanora Heights, the priority is restoring supply quickly and confirming the system is safe to operate. We service all major brands including Rheem, Dux, and Rinnai, and handle electric storage, gas continuous flow, and heat pump systems.

Common failure signs include rust-coloured water (indicating a failing sacrificial anode or sediment buildup), fluctuating temperatures (often a faulty thermostat or heating element), or visible leaks at the base of the tank. In older storage systems, sediment buildup can insulate heating elements or gas burners, reducing efficiency and eventually causing tank corrosion.

The first visit involves inspecting the system, confirming the fault, and explaining the options. If the system can be repaired, we provide a fixed-price quote for parts and labour. If replacement is needed, we recommend a system suited to your household size, energy preferences, and budget, and explain the installation process and compliance requirements.

Under the National Construction Code and AS/NZS 3500 standards, all hot water installations must be performed by licensed professionals. This ensures compliance with safety standards, including the mandatory installation of Tempering Valves (to prevent scalding by limiting water to 50°C at the tap) and Pressure Relief Valves (to prevent tank over-pressurisation). We test the system after installation or repair, confirm safe operation, and provide compliance documentation where required.

Roof and gutter leaks in Elanora Heights often result from blocked downpipes, cracked flashing, or corroded gutter joints. Left unaddressed, leaks can cause ceiling stains, structural water damage, and mould growth in roof cavities.

We locate the leak source, confirm what's causing it, and provide a fixed-price quote for the repair. Common issues include leaves and debris blocking downpipes (which causes water to overflow and seep into eaves), or aging sealant around roof penetrations such as vents and skylights. In older homes, galvanised steel gutters can corrode at the joints, allowing water to escape during heavy rain.

Repairs typically involve clearing blockages, resealing joints, or replacing damaged sections of guttering or flashing. We test water flow after clearing to confirm the system drains correctly, and explain what caused the issue so you can manage maintenance between visits. For properties with established trees, regular gutter cleaning reduces the risk of overflow and water damage.

If inspection reveals structural damage to fascia boards or roof timbers, we explain the extent of the damage and what's needed to make it safe. We can coordinate with builders or roofers where structural repairs are required beyond the plumbing scope.

A burst pipe is an emergency that demands immediate attention to stop water flow and prevent property damage. Burst pipes in residential properties are often caused by elevated water pressure, corrosion in aging metal pipes, tree root intrusion, or ground movement in reactive clay soils.

The first step is isolating the water supply to stop the leak. If you're unsure where the main shut-off valve is located, we can guide you by phone while the plumber is on the way. Once onsite, we locate the burst section, assess the extent of the damage, and explain the repair options.

Repairs typically involve cutting out the damaged section and installing a new pipe segment, or using compression fittings for temporary repairs in emergency situations. For concealed pipes behind walls or under floors, we use leak detection equipment to pinpoint the burst without unnecessary demolition. We test water pressure and flow after repair to confirm the system is secure and operating normally.

If the burst was caused by pressure issues or corroded pipework, we explain what caused it and whether other sections of the system are at risk. This allows you to make informed decisions about preventative maintenance or broader pipe replacement where needed.

All gas work in Elanora Heights must be performed by a licensed gas fitter, and Fixed Today Plumbing holds the required NSW gas fitting licence. We handle gas appliance installation, hot water unit connections, gas leakage detection, and compliance certification for new or altered gas installations.

Gas leaks are urgent. The distinctive "rotten egg" odour in gas is an added mercaptan signal, and other indicators include hissing sounds near appliances, dying vegetation over underground lines, or unusual soot buildup on burners. If you smell gas, turn off the gas supply at the meter if safe to do so, ventilate the area, and call immediately. Do not operate electrical switches or ignition sources.

We use combustible gas detectors and thermal imaging to locate leaks behind walls or in sub-floors without invasive demolition. Once the leak is found, we isolate the affected section, repair or replace the faulty pipe or fitting, and conduct a pressure loss test to ensure the system is gas-tight before recommissioning. Under AS/NZS 5601.1, any repaired or altered gas installation must pass this test, and we issue a compliance certificate where required.

For new gas appliance installations, we confirm the gas supply is adequate for the appliance load, connect the appliance correctly, test for leaks, and verify safe operation. We explain what's been done and provide documentation suitable for landlords, agents, or compliance records.

Commercial plumbing demands rapid response and minimal downtime. Fixed Today Plumbing handles commercial plumbing across offices, retail premises, hospitality venues, and industrial sites in Elanora Heights and surrounding areas.

Common commercial jobs include broken pipe repairs, collapsed water main restoration, commercial hot water system repairs and replacement services, and drainage blockages affecting business operations. We understand the cost of downtime, so we prioritise getting your operations back on track quickly while maintaining safe work practices and clear documentation.

For planned commercial work such as fit-outs, relocations, or equipment installations, we coordinate with builders, project managers, and site supervisors to meet project timelines and site requirements. We can work outside business hours to minimise disruption, and we follow site inductions and safety procedures where required.

All commercial work is completed to Australian Standards, and we provide compliance documentation, test certificates, and invoices suitable for business records and audit purposes. We can also arrange ongoing maintenance contracts for businesses that need regular servicing or priority response for urgent issues.
