Plumber Flemington

Fixed Today Plumbing installs, repairs, and replaces hot water systems in Flemington homes and businesses, covering electric storage tanks, continuous flow gas units, and heat pump models. This includes diagnosing faults, replacing faulty components, and full unit changeovers when the existing system has reached end of life. If inspection shows the tank has corroded beyond repair or the heat exchanger has failed, we explain the replacement options and provide a fixed-price quote before any new unit is ordered.

Common hot water problems in older Flemington properties include sediment buildup in electric storage tanks (which insulates the heating element and reduces efficiency), failing sacrificial anode rods (leading to rust in the water), and pressure relief valve leaks. In continuous flow gas systems, we often see ignition faults caused by dust accumulation or faulty flame sensors. The diagnostic process involves isolating the unit, checking electrical connections or gas supply, testing water pressure, and inspecting internal components where access permits.

All hot water installations must comply with AS/NZS 3500 plumbing standards. That means tempering valves are fitted to limit tap temperature to 50°C (preventing scalding), and pressure relief valves are installed to prevent tank over-pressurisation. We issue compliance documentation where required and test the system before leaving to confirm consistent temperature and flow. Our workmanship is backed by a Lifetime Labour Warranty.

We work with Rheem, Dux, Rinnai, and other major brands. If you're replacing an old system, we discuss the size and fuel type suited to your household (tank capacity for electric, flow rate for gas, and climate suitability for heat pumps). Contact us to arrange an assessment. There is no call-out fee for many service areas; confirm when booking.

A dripping tap in Flemington homes is usually caused by a worn washer, damaged O-ring, or deteriorated ceramic disc cartridge inside the tap body. In older mixer taps, the spindle or valve seat can corrode, preventing a watertight seal when the tap is turned off. Even a slow drip wastes water over time and can stain sinks or benchtops if left unaddressed.

We diagnose the fault by isolating the water supply, disassembling the tap, and inspecting the internal components. If the washer or O-ring is worn, we replace it with a new part matched to the tap model. If the ceramic disc cartridge has failed, we source a replacement from the manufacturer where available. In cases where the tap body itself is corroded or cracked, we discuss replacement options and provide a fixed quote before ordering a new unit.

Flemington properties with older tap fittings sometimes have non-standard thread sizes or discontinued models, which can make sourcing parts more complex. We carry common replacement washers, O-rings, and cartridges in our mobile workshops, but for heritage or imported fittings, parts may need to be ordered. We explain lead times and confirm pricing before proceeding with the repair.

Once the tap is reassembled, we test it under normal pressure to confirm the drip has stopped and there are no leaks at the connection points. For leaking tap repairs across Flemington, contact us to arrange an assessment. Our workmanship is backed by a Lifetime Labour Warranty, and standard manufacturer warranties apply to all replacement parts.

Shower leaks in Flemington properties commonly occur where the shower base meets the wall, around the tap spindles, or through cracked grout and deteriorated silicone seals. Water that escapes the shower recess can seep into the subfloor or ceiling cavity below, causing timber rot, mould growth, or structural damage if left unaddressed. In older homes with tile-over-timber shower bases, failed waterproof membranes are a frequent cause of persistent leaks.

We diagnose shower leaks by inspecting the recess, testing the waste trap and pipework for leaks, and checking the integrity of the waterproof membrane where access permits. If the leak is caused by worn tap spindles or a faulty mixer cartridge, we replace the internal components and reseal the penetration. If the grout or silicone has deteriorated, we remove the old sealant, clean the joint, and apply a new waterproof seal.

In cases where the shower base itself has cracked or the waterproof membrane has failed, a full shower rebuild may be required. We explain the scope of work, provide a fixed quote, and discuss timing before any demolition or reconstruction begins. Our work complies with AS/NZS 3500 plumbing standards and Australian Standard AS 3740 for waterproofing.

Following our standard process, we isolate the water supply, assess the fault, complete the repair, and test the system under normal use to confirm the leak has stopped. For shower repairs across Flemington, contact us to arrange an inspection. Our workmanship is backed by a Lifetime Labour Warranty.

Gas fitting in Flemington covers new gas appliance installations, gas leak identification and repair, gas line extensions, and compliance testing for existing systems. All gas work in NSW must be performed by a correctly licensed gas fitter and comply with AS/NZS 5601.1 safety standards. We hold a current NSW gas fitting licence (305428C) and issue compliance certificates where required for new installations or alterations.

Gas leaks are identified by the distinctive "rotten egg" odour (an added mercaptan safety signal), a hissing sound near appliances or pipework, or unusual soot buildup on burners. If you suspect a gas leak, turn off the gas supply at the meter if safe to do so, ventilate the area, and contact a licensed gas fitter immediately. Do not operate electrical switches or create any ignition source until the leak is confirmed and repaired.

We detect gas leakages using electronic combustible gas detectors and thermal imaging to locate leaks behind walls or in sub-floors. 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 confirm the system is gas-tight before recommissioning. That test involves pressurising the gas line and monitoring for any drop in pressure over a set period, which indicates a remaining leak.

For new gas appliance installations (cooktops, ovens, hot water units, or space heaters), we run the gas line from the meter to the appliance location, install the connection, test for leaks, and issue a compliance certificate once the work is complete. We also install bayonet fittings for portable gas heaters and extend existing gas lines where additional appliances are being added.

Our gas fitting services in Flemington are available 24/7 for emergencies. For non-urgent gas work, contact us to arrange an assessment and fixed-price quote. Our workmanship is backed by a Lifetime Labour Warranty, and standard manufacturer warranties apply to all gas appliances and components.

Strata plumbing in Flemington covers maintenance and emergency repairs for apartment buildings, townhouse complexes, and multi-unit developments. We work with strata managers, owners' corporations, and individual lot owners to maintain common property plumbing systems and address issues that affect multiple units or shared infrastructure.

Common strata plumbing work includes clearing blockages in shared sewer lines, repairing leaks in common property pipework, maintaining hot water systems that service multiple units, and addressing drainage issues in shared courtyards or basement car parks. We also handle emergency callouts for broken pipes, gas leaks, and major blockages that require immediate attention to prevent property damage or safety risks.

In strata environments, responsibility boundaries between lot property and common property can be complex. We clarify those boundaries during the initial assessment and provide documentation suitable for strata records, including photos, CCTV footage, and compliance certificates where required. If a repair involves both lot and common property, we explain the scope and obtain approval from the relevant parties before proceeding.

We coordinate with strata managers to schedule work around access constraints, parking restrictions, and resident availability. For urgent repairs, we can arrange after-hours or weekend access to minimise disruption. Our technicians follow site induction requirements, sign in and out as required, and respect resident privacy and common area rules.

1. Blocked drain cleaning and CCTV inspections of shared sewer lines
2. Hot water system repairs and like-for-like replacements for central or individual unit systems
3. Gas leak detection and gas line repairs in common property areas
4. Burst pipe repairs and leak detection in walls, ceilings, or underground
5. Tap and fixture repairs in common areas (laundries, courtyards, or lobbies)

For strata plumbing services across Flemington, contact us to discuss your requirements. We provide fixed-price quotes where scope is finalised, and our workmanship is backed by a Lifetime Labour Warranty.

Emergency plumbing assistance in Flemington is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for urgent situations that risk property damage, safety hazards, or loss of essential services. That includes burst pipes, gas leakages, major blockages causing flooding, collapsed sewer lines, and hot water system failures in winter. Urgent jobs are sent out first, and the nearest available technician is dispatched from our local hubs.

If you have a burst pipe, turn off the water supply at the meter immediately to stop the flow and minimise damage. If you smell gas, turn off the gas supply at the meter if safe to do so, ventilate the area, and do not operate any electrical switches or create ignition sources. Contact us immediately for dispatch. We provide ETA updates where possible and arrive with the equipment needed to make the situation safe and stop further damage.

Common emergency callouts in Flemington include:

• Burst pipes flooding rooms or causing ceiling leaks
• Gas leaks with a strong odour or hissing sound
• Blocked sewer lines causing wastewater to back up into the property
• Collapsed or broken sewer pipes under the property
• Hot water system failures during cold weather

We carry electronic leak detection equipment, high-pressure water jetters, CCTV drain cameras, and a full range of replacement parts in our mobile workshops. That means most emergency repairs can be completed on the first visit without delays for parts or equipment. If a temporary repair is needed to make the situation safe, we explain the permanent solution and provide a fixed quote once the immediate risk is controlled.
