Looking for a Specific Type of Plumber in Erskine Park?

Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Erskine Park by locating the obstruction, confirming scope onsite, and removing it using the least disruptive method. We dispatch from our West Sydney hub and reach most of the region within typical response windows, including Erskine Park properties. This covers everyday blockages in accessible residential lines; if inspection reveals structural pipe damage or root intrusion requiring excavation, we explain the options and provide a fixed quote before any additional work proceeds.

Drainage issues in Erskine Park homes can escalate quickly. A slow-draining kitchen sink may signal grease buildup in the line. A toilet that gurgles when the shower runs often means a shared waste line is partially restricted. Ignoring these signs can lead to sewage backing up inside the home or water pooling around external gully traps.

We're licensed in NSW for plumbing and drainage work (Licence 305428C) and adequately insured, which means if accidental property damage occurs during the job, our Public Liability policy provides protection. Our Workers Compensation coverage relates to workplace injuries on the job. You'll receive a fixed-price quote before work starts, so you can decide once scope is confirmed. There's no call-out fee for many service areas; confirm the call-out fee status for Erskine Park when booking.

Our team uses high-definition CCTV drain cameras to pinpoint blockages and high-pressure water jetting to clear them. We've been operating across Sydney for over 15 years, and our multi-van fleet means we can allocate the nearest available technician when you call. All attending plumbers are licensed in NSW, arrive in uniform, and carry identification. We explain what we're doing before starting and clean up the work area when finished.

Whether it's a leaking tap, low water pressure, or a drainage blockage, we follow the same process: assess the issue onsite, confirm the scope, provide a fixed quote, complete the work to meet Australian Standards, then test and verify the outcome before leaving. Our workmanship is backed by a Lifetime Labour Warranty.

Drainage Solutions

We clear blocked drains in Erskine Park by identifying the cause, confirming what's needed to restore flow, and using the method that protects your pipework. Common blockages include grease and food debris in kitchen lines, hair and soap scum in bathroom drains, and excessive toilet paper or foreign objects in toilet waste lines. Tree roots seeking moisture can also enter cracked pipes and expand over time, trapping debris and restricting flow.

The assessment starts with a high-definition CCTV drain CCTV check. This lets us see the blockage type, its exact location, and the condition of the pipe without digging. Once we've identified the problem, we explain what's required and provide a fixed-price quote before starting.

Clearing methods depend on what the camera shows:

  • High-pressure water jetting (hydro-jetting) for grease, roots, and compacted debris
  • Mechanical drain snakes (electric eels) for solid obstructions like foreign objects
  • Pipe relining for lines with structural cracks or root intrusion that can't be cleared alone

Hydro-jetting uses water at controlled pressure to scour the pipe walls and pulverise roots, restoring the line to near-full capacity. It's effective for most residential blockages and doesn't damage PVC, clay, or cast iron pipes when used correctly.

If the camera reveals a collapsed section or severe root damage, we discuss excavation or trenchless relining options and confirm scope before proceeding. You'll know the cost and the approach before we start, so there are no surprises when the job is finished.

We test flow rates after clearing and provide photos or footage of the cleared line when helpful. If the blockage was caused by a structural issue, we explain what led to it and what can be done to prevent recurrence.

Fixed Pricing Before Work Starts

We provide a flat-rate quote once scope is finalised onsite. The price is set by the job, not by the hour, so you can decide before work proceeds. No hidden fees are added at the end.

Near-Perfect Customer Rating

Fixed Today Plumbing holds a near-perfect 5-star rating based on over 800 verified customer reviews. Our team prioritises clear communication and respectful service in every home we attend.

24/7 Dispatch for Emergencies

We offer round-the-clock emergency support and dispatch from local hubs across Sydney, including West Sydney. Urgent jobs are sent out first, and we provide ETA updates where possible.

Licensed and Insured in NSW

All our plumbers hold current NSW licences (Licence 305428C). We're fully insured with Public Liability and Workers Compensation, protecting you and your property during the job.

Burst Pipes

A broken pipe in Erskine Park can flood a room in minutes. Ageing pipes, ground movement, or accidental damage during excavation are common causes. The priority is stopping the water, isolating the affected section, and arranging a licensed plumbing professional to assess the damage and make it safe.

We provide 24/7 emergency plumbing for burst pipe situations. Once onsite, we locate the break, confirm what's required to repair or replace the damaged section, and provide a fixed quote before proceeding. Our approach depends on the pipe location, material, and accessibility.

Repair options include:

  • Trenchless pipe relining for accessible sections with cracks or small breaks
  • Pipe replacement where the damaged section is too short for relining or has collapsed
  • Electronic leak identification to pinpoint hidden bursts behind walls or under slabs

Pipe relining is often preferred for repairs beneath driveways, bathrooms, or established landscaping. It involves inserting a resin-saturated liner into the damaged pipe, inflating it, and curing it in place to form a seamless, structurally independent pipe-within-a-pipe. This avoids excavation and the cost of restoring finished surfaces.

If the burst is in a visible section or the pipe has collapsed entirely, we replace the damaged length and pressure-test the line before backfilling. All work is completed to Australian Standards, and we verify flow and pressure before leaving.

Burst pipes don't wait for business hours. Our emergency dispatch system allocates the nearest available plumber, and we provide arrival communication so you know when to expect us.

Your Emergency Drainage Plumber

Drainage emergencies in Erskine Park don't follow a schedule. A toilet overflowing at midnight or a sewer line backing up on a weekend requires prompt attention to limit damage and restore function. We offer round-the-clock emergency plumbing for situations where waiting isn't an option.

Our emergency service covers:

  • Burst pipes flooding rooms or external areas
  • Toilets overflowing or backing up into the home
  • Gas leaks requiring urgent isolation and testing
  • Blocked drains causing sewage to surface at gully traps
  • Hot water system failures during cold weather

When you call, we triage the situation to confirm urgency. Jobs involving active flooding, gas leaks, or sewage backup are dispatched immediately. The nearest available technician is allocated from our West Sydney hub or other local dispatch points, and we provide an ETA once the plumber is on the way.

All our technicians carry diagnostic tools, including CCTV cameras, leak detectors, and high-pressure jetters, in fully stocked mobile workshops. This means we can often resolve the issue on the first visit without needing to return for parts or equipment.

Emergency work follows the same process as scheduled jobs: we assess the situation, confirm what's needed to make it safe and functional, provide a fixed quote, then complete the work and verify the outcome. You'll know the cost before we proceed, even during an after-hours callout.

If there's an immediate safety risk, we can provide brief guidance by phone to reduce harm while the plumber is on the way, such as isolating water or ventilating a space if gas is suspected. We don't ask customers to diagnose faults or perform repairs themselves.

Gas Plumbers

Gas work in Erskine Park must be completed by a licensed and fully insured gas fitter to meet NSW safety regulations. Fixed Today Plumbing holds current gas fitting licences and completes all installations, repairs, and leak location work to AS/NZS 5601.1 standards. This covers new gas point installations, appliance connections, and emergency leak repairs.

A gas leakage is identifiable by the distinctive "rotten egg" odour (an added mercaptan signal), hissing sounds near appliances, or unusual soot buildup on burners. If you suspect a leak, isolate the gas supply at the meter if safe to do so, ventilate the area, and arrange an assessment. We provide 24/7 emergency gas services for situations requiring immediate isolation and testing.

Our gas plumbing services include:

  • New gas line installations for hot water supply systems, cooktops, and heaters
  • Connection to mains gas supply for properties switching from bottled gas
  • Gas leak detection using combustible gas detectors and thermal imaging
  • Pressure testing of repaired or altered gas installations to confirm they're gas-tight
  • Installation and connection of gas stoves, ovens, and continuous flow hot water systems

After completing gas work, we perform a pressure loss test to verify the system holds pressure and issue a compliance certificate where required by local regulations. This documentation confirms the installation meets safety standards and can be provided to councils, insurers, or property managers.

Gas appliances that aren't burning cleanly, producing yellow or orange flames instead of blue, or causing soot buildup may have blocked burners or incorrect gas pressure. These issues require assessment by a licensed and properly insured gas fitter to prevent carbon monoxide buildup or appliance damage.

Hot Water

Hot water systems in Erskine Park typically use electric storage, gas continuous flow, or heat pump technology. Each type has different installation requirements, running costs, and maintenance needs. Our team installs and repairs all major brands, including Rheem, Dux, Rinnai, Vulcan, Aquamax, and Thermann.

A failing hot water system often shows warning signs before it stops entirely. Rust-coloured water in the morning usually indicates a corroded sacrificial anode rod or sediment buildup in the tank. Fluctuating water temperatures or shorter hot water duration can signal a failing heating element in electric systems or a blocked burner in gas units.

When a system fails, we assess whether repair or replacement is the most cost-effective option. Older storage tanks with visible rust or leaks at the base typically can't be repaired and require replacement. Continuous flow units with electronic faults or blocked heat exchangers can often be repaired if parts are available and the unit is within its expected lifespan.

Installation of a new hot water system must comply with the National Construction Code and AS/NZS 3500 standards. This includes fitting a Tempering Valve to limit water temperature to 50°C at the tap (preventing scalding) and a Pressure Relief Valve to prevent tank over-pressurisation. All installations are completed by licensed plumbers, and we provide manufacturer warranties on hardware alongside our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship.

For urgent hot water failures during cold weather, we offer 24/7 emergency service. Our technicians carry common replacement parts and can often restore hot water on the first visit. If a full system replacement is needed, we explain the options, provide a fixed quote, and schedule installation at a time that suits your household.

Regular maintenance extends the life of hot water systems. Flushing sediment from storage tanks annually and checking anode rods every few years can prevent premature tank failure and maintain heating efficiency.

Your Local Drainage Plumber

When a drainage issue disrupts your Erskine Park property, you need a plumber who can assess the problem quickly, explain what's required, and fix it properly the first time. Fixed Today Plumbing operates from our West Sydney hub, reaching most of the region within typical response windows. We've been clearing blocked drains and repairing damaged pipework across Sydney for over 15 years.

Blockages in Erskine Park homes commonly involve grease and food debris in kitchen lines, hair and soap scum in bathroom drains, and tree roots in external sewer lines. Clay and terracotta pipes in older properties are particularly vulnerable to root intrusion, as fine roots enter microscopic cracks and expand over time.

Our process starts with a CCTV camera inspection to identify the blockage type and location. Once we've confirmed what's causing the restriction, we explain the clearing method and provide a fixed-price quote. You can decide whether to proceed once you know the cost and the approach.

We clear blockages using hydro jetting for grease and roots, or mechanical drain snakes for solid obstructions. If the camera reveals structural damage such as cracked pipes or collapsed sections, we discuss repair options including trenchless relining or excavation and replacement. The choice depends on the pipe location, material, and accessibility.

After clearing the line, we test flow rates and provide photos or footage of the cleared pipe when helpful. If the blockage was caused by a recurring issue such as root intrusion or incorrect pipe fall, we explain what led to it and what can be done to prevent it happening again.

We handle all types of drainage blockages, including kitchen sinks, stormwater drains, toilets, showers, and main sewer lines. Our team is available 24/7 for emergencies, and we provide the same fixed-price model and Lifetime Labour Warranty on all work, whether it's scheduled or urgent.

If you're unsure whether a slow drain is a minor inconvenience or a sign of a larger problem, a quick call is enough to book an inspection. We'll confirm the cause onsite, explain what's needed, and provide a fixed quote before starting. Call us on 1800 349 338 or enquire online to arrange a time that suits your schedule.

Blocked Drain FAQ's in Erskine Park

What causes blocked drains in Erskine Park properties?

Blockages typically result from grease and food debris in kitchen lines, hair and soap buildup in bathroom drains, or tree roots entering cracked pipes in external sewer lines. Clay and terracotta pipes common in older properties are vulnerable to root intrusion. Foreign objects like sanitary products or excessive toilet paper can also restrict flow. We use CCTV cameras to identify the cause and location before we clear.

How do you clear a drain blockage without damaging the pipes?

We start with a CCTV inspection to confirm the blockage type and pipe condition. High-pressure water jetting clears grease and roots without damaging PVC, clay, or cast iron pipes when used at controlled pressure. Mechanical drain snakes remove solid obstructions. If the camera shows structural damage, we explain repair options including trenchless relining before proceeding.

What should I do if my drain is blocked and water is backing up?

Stop using water fixtures connected to the affected drain to prevent further backup. If sewage is surfacing at gully traps or inside the home, it's an emergency. Call us on 1800 349 338 for immediate dispatch. We'll allocate the nearest available plumber and provide an ETA. Don't attempt to clear the blockage with chemical cleaners if water is already backing up, as this can worsen the situation.

Can tree roots cause blocked drains in Erskine Park?

Yes. Tree roots seeking moisture can enter microscopic cracks in clay, terracotta, or concrete pipes and expand over time, trapping debris and restricting flow. This is common in older properties with established trees nearby. We use CCTV cameras to confirm root intrusion, then clear the roots with high-pressure water jetting. If the pipe is structurally damaged, we discuss replacement or relining options.

How long does it take to clear a blocked drain?

Most straightforward blockages in accessible residential lines are cleared within one to two hours, including CCTV inspection and testing. If the blockage involves structural damage, root intrusion requiring excavation, or restricted access, the timeframe depends on the repair method chosen. We confirm the likely duration and provide a fixed quote once scope is assessed onsite.

Do you provide a fixed-price quote before starting work?

Yes. After assessing the blockage onsite and confirming what's required to clear it, we provide a fixed-price quote. The price is set by the job, not by the hour. You can decide whether to proceed once you know the cost and the approach. No hidden fees are added at the end of the job.

What's the difference between hydro-jetting and a drain snake?

Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water to scour pipe walls and pulverise grease, roots, and compacted debris. It's effective for most residential blockages and restores the line to near-full capacity. A drain snake (electric eel) is a mechanical tool used to break up or retrieve solid obstructions like foreign objects. We choose the method based on what the camera inspection reveals.

Can you prevent blocked drains from happening again?

After clearing the line, we explain what caused the blockage and what can be done to prevent recurrence. This might include regular maintenance, avoiding certain materials in drains, or repairing structural issues like cracked pipes or incorrect pipe fall. If root intrusion is the cause, we discuss relining options to create a root-resistant barrier inside the existing pipe.

Is your drainage work covered by a warranty?

Yes. All our workmanship is backed by a Lifetime Labour Warranty, which covers the quality of the repair or installation. Manufacturer warranties apply to any hardware or materials we supply. If the same issue recurs due to our workmanship, we'll return and fix it at no additional cost. The warranty terms are explained when we provide the quote.

Do you charge a call-out fee for blocked drains in Erskine Park?

There's no call-out fee for many service areas across Sydney. Confirm the call-out fee status for Erskine Park when you book. Our pricing model is fixed and upfront, so you'll know the total cost once scope is agreed onsite, before we begin.
