Emergency Plumber Girraween

When an emergency happens?a ruptured pipe flooding the laundry, a gas smell in the kitchen, or a sewer backing up into the yard?the priority is getting a fully licensed plumbing technician onsite quickly to make it safe and stop further damage. Fixed Today Plumbing handles urgent plumbing across Girraween and the wider West Sydney region, dispatching from our local hub for quick arrival. Urgent jobs are sent out first, with the nearest available technician allocated based on current bookings and traffic conditions.

Our process starts with a detailed onsite assessment. We identify the cause, confirm the affected area, and explain what needs to happen next. Once scope is confirmed, we provide a fixed-price quote before starting any work. The price is by the job, not by the hour, so there's no pressure to rush or worry about the clock. You decide once you know the cost and what's included.

We use high-definition CCTV drain cameras for drainage diagnostics, electronic ultrasonic leak location for hidden bursts, and high-pressure jetting to clear stubborn blockages. All work is completed to Australian plumbing standards, and we test and verify outcomes before leaving?checking flow rates after clearing a drain, confirming no leaks after a pipe repair, or testing gas appliances after reconnection. If diagnostics indicate a more complex issue, we explain the options and confirm scope before any additional work proceeds.

Our team is licensed, insured, and background-checked. We arrive in uniform, use drop sheets to protect floors, and clean up the work area at the end of the job. Every repair is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship, so if there's an issue with how the work was completed, we'll return and make it right. For parts and appliances, standard manufacturer warranties apply.

Blocked drains in Girraween properties often result from tree root intrusion in older clay or terracotta pipes, or Fat, Oil, and Grease (FOG) buildup in kitchen lines. Roots enter through microscopic cracks, expand over time, and trap debris, eventually causing the line to back up. In kitchen drains, FOG solidifies as it cools, narrowing the pipe diameter and trapping solid waste.

We start with a high-definition CCTV drain CCTV check to identify the blockage type, depth, and precise location within the property boundary. This allows us to see exactly what's causing the restriction without invasive digging. Once the cause is confirmed, we use high-pressure water jetting (hydro-jetting) at 3,000 to 5,000 PSI to pulverise roots and scour grease from pipe walls, restoring the line to near-full capacity.

If the camera inspection reveals structural damage?collapsed sections, severe root intrusion, or corroded cast iron?we explain the options and confirm scope before any additional work proceeds. For permanent repairs beneath driveways or established landscaping, trenchless pipe lining is often the most practical solution. A flexible, resin-saturated liner is inserted into the damaged pipe, inflated, and cured to create a seamless, structurally independent "pipe-within-a-pipe" that lasts for decades.

We test flow rates after clearing to confirm the blockage is fully resolved, and we provide footage from the camera inspection where helpful. If the blockage is likely to recur due to root activity, we explain the long-term options and what maintenance intervals might look like.

Roof and gutter leaks in Girraween often go unnoticed until heavy rain causes water to pool inside ceilings or run down internal walls. Common causes include cracked roof tiles, rusted or disconnected downpipes, and gutter overflow from debris buildup.

We inspect the roof and gutter system, identify the source of the leak, and perform repairs or replacements as needed. This might involve re-sealing flashing around penetrations, replacing damaged sections of guttering, or clearing blockages that cause overflow. We test the system where practical (simulating flow or checking drainage paths) to confirm the leak is resolved.

If the damage is extensive or the system is nearing the end of its serviceable life, we explain the options and provide upfront pricing for replacement. All work is completed to protect your property from further water damage.

A gas smell is urgent. If you notice the distinctive "rotten egg" odour (an added mercaptan signal), hear hissing near appliances, or see unusual soot buildup on burners, turn off the gas at the meter if safe to do so, open windows, and arrange an assessment immediately. Do not operate electrical switches or create sparks.

We use specialised 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 component, and perform a pressure loss test to confirm the system is gas-tight before recommissioning. All gas work complies with AS/NZS 5601.1 safety standards, and a compliance certificate is issued upon completion where required.

We also handle new gas appliance installations, gas line extensions, and gas hot water conversions. All work is performed by licensed gas fitters (Licence 305428C) and is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship.

Commercial plumbing emergencies?blocked grease traps, failed hot water systems in cafés, or sewer backups in retail premises?can halt operations and create health and safety risks. We handle urgent repairs, scheduled maintenance, and new installations for businesses across Girraween, working around your operating hours to minimise downtime.

Our team can follow site induction requirements, provide job documentation suitable for maintenance logs and compliance records, and coordinate with property managers or strata where needed. We provide upfront fixed pricing once scope is finalised, so you can approve the work and budget accordingly.

For businesses with ongoing maintenance needs, we can schedule regular inspections to catch issues before they become emergencies. All work is completed to Australian plumbing standards, and we test and verify outcomes before leaving to ensure your business can resume normal operations as quickly as possible.
