Plumber Five Dock

Our technicians are NSW licensed plumbers, and we dispatch from local Inner West hubs to reach Five Dock properties within typical response windows. If you need urgent work, we send the job out immediately and provide an ETA when you book. For standard plumbing, same-day service is available when you call early. Arrival timing depends on current bookings and traffic conditions, and we provide updates where possible.

We're a family-owned business operating across Sydney since 2010. Our team handles domestic and commercial plumbing, from leaking taps and blocked drains to hot water installations and gas fitting. We use fully stocked mobile workshops with premium parts, so most jobs can be completed on the first visit when access and parts allow.

Fixed Today Plumbing is properly insured with comprehensive Public Liability and Workers Compensation. Public Liability protects you if accidental property damage occurs during work. Workers Compensation covers workplace injuries on the job. We explain the scope in plain English before starting, confirm inclusions and exclusions in the quote, and test outcomes before leaving.

Blocked drains in Five Dock properties are typically caused by tree root intrusion in older terracotta or clay pipes, or by fat, oil, and grease (FOG) buildup in kitchen lines. Root intrusion occurs when fine roots enter microscopic cracks in aging pipes, expand over time, and trap debris. FOG solidifies as it cools, narrowing the pipe diameter and catching solid waste. If inspection shows structural damage, options are explained and scope is established before any additional work proceeds.

We use high-definition CCTV drain cameras to locate the blockage, identify the cause, and confirm the pipe condition without invasive digging. Once the restriction is identified, we clear it using high-pressure water jetting (hydro-jetting), which fires water at pressures between 3,000 and 5,000 PSI to pulverise roots and scour grease from pipe walls. For blockages involving metal or plastic foreign objects, mechanical clearing methods may be used instead.

After clearing, we test flow rates to confirm the line is restored to near-full capacity. If the CCTV check reveals cracks, collapses, or significant deterioration, we explain the options, which may include trenchless pipe lining to create a seamless, structurally independent liner inside the existing pipe. This method avoids excavation beneath driveways, bathrooms, or established landscaping, reducing disruption and cost.

We install, repair, and service all major brands of hot water systems, including Rheem, Dux, and Rinnai. Residential properties typically use electric storage, gas continuous flow, or heat pump systems. Electric storage is often selected for lower upfront costs, while gas continuous flow is preferred for energy efficiency and space-saving design. Heat pump systems use ambient air to heat water and are increasingly common in energy-conscious homes.

Hot water system failures usually show up as fluctuating temperatures, rust-coloured water, or no hot water at all. In older storage systems, the first sign is often rust-coloured water in the morning, before the tank has had time to settle. This indicates a failing sacrificial anode rod or sediment buildup, which insulates heating elements or gas burners and reduces effectiveness. If left unaddressed, the tank can corrode or fail completely.

All hot water installations must comply with the National Construction Code and AS/NZS 3500 standards. This includes the mandatory installation of Tempering Valves (limiting water to 50°C at the tap to prevent scalding) and Pressure Relief Valves (preventing tank over-pressurisation). We confirm existing pipework, access, and power or gas supply before quoting. Once the system is installed, we test flow, temperature, and pressure to confirm it's operating correctly. Standard manufacturer warranties apply to hardware and appliances, and our Lifetime Labour Warranty covers the installation workmanship.

Roof and gutter leaks often result from blocked downpipes, damaged flashing, or cracked roof tiles. In Five Dock's older Federation and Victorian-era homes, original flashing can deteriorate over time, allowing water to seep into roof cavities during heavy rain. If left unaddressed, water can damage ceiling plaster, insulation, and timber framing, leading to costly structural repairs.

We assess the roof and gutter system to locate the source of the leak, checking for blockages, damaged seals, and compromised flashing. Once the cause is confirmed, we explain the options and provide a fixed-price quote. Repairs may involve clearing debris from gutters and downpipes, replacing damaged flashing, or resealing roof penetrations such as vents and skylights.

After the repair, we test the system by flushing water through the gutters and downpipes to confirm flow is restored and there are no further leaks. Regular gutter maintenance can prevent blockages and reduce the risk of overflow damage. If you're experiencing recurring leaks, we can assess whether gutter guard installation or additional downpipes would improve drainage capacity.

Toilet issues include running cisterns, inadequate flush, blockages, and leaks at the base. A running cistern is usually caused by a faulty flush valve or fill valve, which allows water to continuously flow into the bowl. This wastes water and can increase your water bill. A weak flush often indicates a blocked rim jet or a failing flush mechanism.

We assess the cistern internals, identify the failed component, and explain the options. In most cases, replacing the flush valve or fill valve resolves the issue immediately. For blockages, we use mechanical clearing methods or high-pressure jetting to restore flow. If the blockage is caused by a foreign object or structural issue in the sewer line, we use CCTV cameras to confirm the cause and explain the options.

If the toilet is leaking at the base, it usually indicates a failed wax seal or cracked pan. In these cases, replacement may be the more durable option. We explain the choice and provide a fixed-price quote before proceeding. After the replacement or repair, we test the flush and check for leaks to confirm the toilet is functioning correctly. Our work is backed by a Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship.
