Plumber Glebe

Fixed Today Plumbing provides licensed plumbing, drainage, and gas services to Glebe properties, covering urgent repairs, routine maintenance, and installations. We diagnose the fault onsite, confirm the scope, and provide a fixed-price quote before starting work. This covers typical residential plumbing situations; if assessment shows additional work is needed, the options are explained and scope is confirmed onsite before proceeding.

We're correctly licensed in NSW for plumbing, drainage, and gas fitting (Licence 305428C), and we carry Public Liability and Workers Compensation insurance. Public Liability protects you if accidental property damage occurs during work, and Workers Compensation covers workplace injuries on the job. Our technicians are police-checked and background-checked, and they arrive in uniform with identification.

For urgent plumbing situations in Glebe, jobs are sent out immediately once booked, and the nearest available technician is allocated from our Inner West dispatch point. An ETA is provided where possible, and arrival timing depends on current bookings and traffic conditions. Same-day service is available for standard plumbing work when capacity allows.

All work is completed to Australian plumbing standards and backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship. Manufacturer warranties apply to hardware and appliances. We test and verify outcomes before leaving, such as confirming flow and function where practical. If diagnostics indicate further work, we explain the options and confirm scope before any additional work proceeds.

We provide fixed clear pricing after assessing the job onsite. The quote is provided before we begin, and the price is by the job, not by the hour. There are no hidden fees. You decide once scope is confirmed and the fixed price is provided. Contact us to discuss your plumbing need and confirm call-out fee status for your postcode.

A drain blockage typically shows up as slow-draining water, gurgling sounds, or water backing up through fixtures. In Glebe properties, blockages often trace back to tree root intrusion in older terracotta or clay pipes, or Fat, Oil, and Grease (FOG) buildup in kitchen lines. Left unaddressed, a drain blockage can cause water damage, sewage backup, or structural stress on aging pipework.

We diagnose blocked drains using high-definition drain inspection cameras to identify the blockage type, depth, and precise location within the property boundary. This allows us to confirm the cause without invasive digging. Once the restriction is located, we remove it using high-pressure water jetting (hydro-jetting), which fires water at controlled pressure to pulverise roots and scour grease from pipe walls, restoring the line to near-full capacity.

In Glebe's older homes, particularly those built before the 1980s, original drainage lines are often terracotta or clay, which are vulnerable to cracking and root intrusion from the established street trees common throughout the suburb. If inspection shows structural damage, the options are explained and scope is clarified before any additional work proceeds. Trenchless pipe relining may be recommended where excavation would disrupt permanent structures like driveways or established landscaping.

For urgent blockages causing sewage backup or water damage, immediate dispatch is arranged once the job is booked. Same-day service is available for standard drainage work when capacity allows. We provide a fixed-price quote after assessing the blockage onsite, covering the full job with no hidden fees.

When a hot water system fails, you're left without warm water for bathing, cleaning, and daily tasks. In older storage systems, the first sign is usually rust-coloured water in the morning, before the tank has had time to settle. Other common symptoms include inconsistent water temperature, visible leaks around the unit, or no hot water at all.

We diagnose hot water faults by inspecting the unit, checking the power supply or gas connection, and testing the heating element or burner. In storage systems, we check the sacrificial anode rod and look for sediment buildup, which can insulate heating elements or gas burners and reduce effectiveness. If the unit has failed beyond economical repair, we explain the replacement options and provide a fixed-price quote for the new installation.

Hot water installations in NSW must be performed by licensed professionals and comply with AS/NZS 3500 standards. This includes the mandatory installation of Tempering Valves to prevent scalding (limiting water to 50°C at the tap) and Pressure Relief Valves to prevent tank over-pressurization. We handle all compliance requirements and provide documentation where required.

Same-day service is available for many hot water emergencies when capacity allows. We carry common parts for major brands including Rheem, Dux, and Rinnai in our fully stocked vehicles, which means we can often complete repairs on the spot. All hot water work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship, and manufacturer warranties apply to the unit itself. Contact us on 1800 349 338 to discuss your hot water issue and arrange an assessment.

Roof and gutter leaks cause water damage, structural stress, and potential mould growth if not addressed promptly. In Glebe properties, roof leaks often trace back to cracked tiles, damaged flashing, or blocked gutters that overflow during heavy rain. Gutter leaks typically result from rust-through in older metal gutters or joint failures where sections connect.

We locate roof and gutter leaks using visual inspection and, where needed, electronic leak location equipment to identify the source without invasive demolition. Once the leak is located, we assess the affected area, explain the repair options, and provide a fixed-price quote before starting work. This covers typical gutter and roof repairs; if inspection shows structural damage or extensive corrosion, the options are explained and scope is defined before proceeding.

In Glebe's older homes, particularly Victorian and Federation terraces, original roof structures may include heritage tiles or slate that require specialist handling. We take care to protect finishes and confirm any heritage overlay requirements with the local council before starting work. Blocked gutters are cleared by hand or using hydro jetting, restoring flow and preventing overflow.

For urgent roof leaks causing active water damage, immediate dispatch is arranged once the job is booked. We isolate the affected area where practical to reduce further damage, and we test and verify outcomes before leaving. All roof and gutter work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship. Contact us to discuss your roof or gutter leak and arrange an assessment.

A malfunctioning toilet is disruptive and, in some cases, a potential health hazard. Common toilet issues include continuous running after flushing, weak flush, leaking cisterns, or complete blockages. In Glebe properties, toilet blockages often result from foreign objects, excessive toilet paper, or tree root intrusion in older sewer lines.

We diagnose toilet faults by inspecting the cistern, testing the flush mechanism, and checking for leaks around the base or supply line. If the issue is a worn flapper valve, faulty fill valve, or leaking cistern seal, we replace the component and test for leaks before leaving. For blocked toilets, we clear the obstruction using manual tools or, where needed, CCTV inspection to confirm the cause and location.

If a toilet continues running after flushing, the issue is usually a worn flapper valve or faulty fill valve that fails to close properly. We replace the component and adjust the water level to restore normal operation. For weak flush, we check for partial blockages, sediment buildup, or faulty flush valves and provide the appropriate repair.

Same-day service is available for many toilet repair emergencies when capacity allows. We carry common replacement parts in our fully stocked vehicles, which means we can often complete repairs on the spot. All toilet repairs are backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship. Contact us on 1800 349 338 to discuss your toilet issue and arrange an assessment.
