Emergency Plumber Epping

Fixed Today Plumbing provides professional plumbing services in Epping NSW, covering emergency callouts, routine maintenance, and installation work for commercial and domestic properties. This includes burst pipe repairs, blocked drain clearing, hot water system installations, gas fitting, toilet and tap repairs, and pipe relining; if inspection shows structural damage or additional work is needed, we explain the options and confirm scope before proceeding.

We've been operating across Sydney for over 15 years, with a large multi-van fleet and licensed master plumbers who carry specialised diagnostic equipment. Each attending technician is licensed in NSW for plumbing, drainage, and gas fitting, and all work is completed to meet Australian Standards with verification testing prior to leaving the site.

Our dispatch model means urgent jobs are sent out first, with the nearest available plumber allocated from local hubs including West Sydney. For Epping properties, that typically means reliable response times during business hours and after-hours emergency availability when needed. We provide an ETA when you book and update you if traffic or prior jobs affect arrival timing.

Pricing is fixed and provided upfront once we've confirmed the scope onsite. You'll know the total cost before work starts, with no hidden fees or hourly rate surprises. The quote is priced by the job, not by the hour, and it's valid for one month from the date issued. If the job scope changes during the work, we explain why and confirm the updated price before continuing.

We also service surrounding areas across Sydney's north-west and beyond, including West Pennant Hills, Parramatta, and Picnic Point. For a full list of service areas, see our Sydney suburbs page. Whether you need general plumbing, emergency plumbing, or commercial plumbing, we're available 7 days a week with same-day service for most standard jobs.

A dripping tap in Epping NSW is often caused by a worn washer, damaged O-ring, or failing cartridge inside the tap body. In older homes with original brass or chrome fittings, corrosion can also affect the valve seat, causing water to seep past even after the tap is turned off. If left unaddressed, a steady drip wastes litres of water per day and can increase your water bill noticeably over a billing period.

What complicates a simple tap repair is that the visible drip may be masking a hidden leak further back in the supply line, particularly in older properties where copper pipes have corroded or joints have loosened. We carry out leak detection using electronic listening devices and moisture meters to confirm whether the issue is confined to the tap or if there's a concealed pipe fault that needs attention.

On the first visit, we isolate the water supply to the affected fixture, disassemble the tap to inspect the internal components, and replace any worn or damaged parts. If the tap body itself is corroded beyond repair, we can supply and fit a replacement on the same visit, provided we have the correct model or a compatible alternative in the van. All work is tested for leaks and flow before we leave, and the area is cleaned up.

If you're hearing a drip or seeing water pooling around the base of a tap, it's worth booking an assessment. A quick repair now prevents water damage to cabinetry or flooring later, and it stops the daily water waste that adds up over time.

Toilet repairs in Epping NSW cover blockages, leaks from the cistern or bowl, cracked pans, and failed flush mechanisms. A blocked toilet is usually caused by excessive paper, sanitary items, or foreign objects lodged in the trap or the branch drain leading to the main sewer line. If the blockage is in the toilet itself, we clear it with a closet auger or high-pressure jetter; if it's further down the line, we use a CCTV camera to locate the restriction and confirm the clearing method.

Leaking toilets often show as water pooling around the base (indicating a failed wax seal or cracked pan) or a constant trickle into the bowl (indicating a worn flapper or faulty inlet valve inside the cistern). A running toilet wastes a significant amount of water per day, and it's usually a straightforward repair once the faulty component is identified and replaced.

When a toilet pan is cracked or the suite is outdated and parts are no longer available, we can supply and install a replacement on the same day in most cases. We carry a range of close-coupled and connector suites in the van, and we can source specific models or colours if you have a preference. The old suite is disconnected, removed, and the new one is installed with a fresh wax seal, secure floor bolts, and a tested flush to confirm proper operation before we leave.

All attending plumbers are licensed in NSW and follow Australian Standards for sanitary plumbing, including correct pan setout, secure water supply connections, and verification that the flush meets water efficiency requirements. If you're dealing with a blocked or leaking toilet in Epping, call us for same-day service and a fixed price quote once the issue is assessed onsite.

Hot water system installations in Epping NSW cover electric storage, gas continuous flow, heat pump, and solar models, with the choice depending on household size, available space, energy preferences, and budget. Electric storage tanks are often selected for lower upfront costs, while gas continuous flow units are preferred for their energy efficiency and compact footprint. Heat pumps and solar systems offer long-term energy savings but require a higher initial investment and suitable installation conditions.

When selecting a system, we assess your current setup, available space (roof, external wall, or ground mount), and whether you have natural gas connected to the property. We explain the trade-offs between upfront cost, running cost, and recovery time (how quickly the system can reheat after use), and we recommend models from trusted brands including Rheem, Rinnai, Dux, Bosch, and Thermann.

All installations are completed to meet Australian Standards (AS/NZS 3500) and include mandatory safety devices: a Tempering Valve to limit tap water temperature to 50°C and prevent scalding, and a Pressure Relief Valve to prevent tank over-pressurization. Gas units require a pressure loss test to confirm the system is gas-tight before commissioning, and a compliance certificate is issued once the installation is verified.

If your existing system is failing, common warning signs include rust-coloured water (indicating a corroded sacrificial anode or tank lining), fluctuating water temperatures (suggesting a failing thermostat or heating element), or visible leaks around the tank base or relief valve. In many cases, replacement is more cost-effective than repair once a storage tank begins to corrode internally.

We offer same-day installation for most standard residential systems, provided the replacement unit is in stock and site conditions allow. If you need a new water heater or your current unit needs repair, call us for an onsite inspection and a fixed-price quote.

A burst pipe is a plumbing emergency that requires immediate attention to stop water damage and make the property safe. Pipe failures in Epping properties are commonly caused by high water pressure (above the recommended 500 kPa), corrosion in older copper or galvanised steel pipes, tree root intrusion that cracks clay drainage lines, ground movement that stresses joints, or frozen pipes during winter cold snaps.

When a pipe bursts, the first priority is isolating the water supply to stop the flow and prevent further damage to flooring, walls, and contents. If you can safely access the main shut-off valve (usually near the water meter at the front of the property), turn it off. If not, call us immediately and we'll guide you through the isolation process while dispatching a plumber to your location.

On arrival, we locate the burst section using electronic leak detection equipment if the fault is concealed, confirm the pipe type and size, and cut out the damaged section. The repair method depends on the pipe material: copper pipes are rejoined with compression fittings or soldered joints, PEX pipes use push-fit or crimp connectors, and galvanised steel pipes often require a section replacement due to widespread corrosion. All repairs are pressure-tested to confirm they're leak-free before restoring water supply.

If the burst is caused by excessive water pressure, we recommend installing a pressure-limiting valve at the meter to prevent future failures. If the cause is tree root intrusion in a drainage line, we explain the options (spot repair or drain relining) and provide a fixed-fee quote once the extent of the damage is confirmed.

Burst pipe repairs are priced by the job, not by the hour, and you'll know the total cost before work starts. If you're dealing with an active leak, call 1800 349 338 for immediate dispatch and emergency response.

Pipe relining is a trenchless repair method that fixes cracked, root-damaged, or corroded drainage pipes without excavating your driveway, garden, or internal flooring. It's particularly useful in Epping properties where drainage lines run beneath established landscaping, concrete paths, or tiled bathroom floors, and traditional dig-and-replace methods would cause significant disruption and cost.

The process involves inserting a flexible, resin-saturated liner into the damaged pipe through an existing access point (such as a cleanout or inspection opening). The liner is positioned to cover the damaged section, then inflated and cured using hot water, air pressure, or UV light, depending on the resin type and pipe diameter. Once cured, the liner hardens to form a seamless, structurally independent "pipe within a pipe" that restores full flow capacity and prevents further leaks or root intrusion.

Pipe relining is effective for PVC, clay, terracotta, cast iron, and concrete pipes, provided the original pipe structure hasn't completely collapsed. It's commonly used to repair root-damaged sewer lines in older Epping properties where established trees have entered the pipe through cracks or separated joints, and it's also used to seal leaking stormwater drains or repair cracked sections beneath driveways and internal slabs.

Before relining, we use a CCTV drain camera to inspect the full length of the pipe, confirm the extent of the damage, and verify that relining is the appropriate repair method. If the pipe has collapsed or the damage is too extensive, we'll explain the alternative options (spot repair or full replacement) and provide a fixed-price quote for the recommended approach.

Pipe relining is typically completed in one day for standard residential repairs, with minimal excavation (usually just one or two small access pits if needed). The relined section is flow-tested and camera-inspected to confirm the repair is complete before we backfill any access points and clean up the site. If you're dealing with recurring blockages, slow drainage, or known pipe damage, call us for a CCTV inspection and a quote for drain relining or the most suitable repair method.
