Blocked Drains Erskine Park

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.

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.

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.
