Emergency Plumber Glendenning

When a pipe bursts at 2am or a gas smell appears without warning, the situation demands immediate professional attention to prevent property damage and keep occupants safe. Fixed Today Plumbing operates 24/7 emergency dispatch to Glendenning, handling ruptured pipes, gas leaks, severe drain blockages, and hot water failures. Emergency jobs are prioritised and sent out first, with the nearest available licensed and insured plumbing technician allocated from our West Sydney hub. We provide an ETA when booking and update you if delays occur due to traffic or prior emergency work.

Our process starts with onsite assessment using diagnostic tools including high-definition drain inspection cameras, electronic leak detection equipment, and combustible gas detectors. Once the issue is located and the scope is agreed, we provide a fixed-price quote before starting any repair work. The price quoted is the price paid; there are no hourly rates or surprise fees added at the end. If inspection reveals additional damage or related faults, we explain the options and confirm scope before proceeding with any extra work.

All attending technicians are licensed and insured plumbers in NSW, and we carry comprehensive insurance (Public Liability and Workers Compensation). Technicians arrive in uniform, confirm their identity, and explain what they're doing before starting. We use drop sheets and protective covers to protect floors and finished surfaces, and we clean up the work area before leaving. Emergency repairs are verified onsite: we test flow rates after clearing drains, check for gas leaks after repairing connections, and confirm water pressure after fixing burst pipes.

Emergency work often involves access constraints, particularly in occupied homes or strata properties. We follow entry instructions carefully, minimise movement through the home, and isolate the work area where practical. If the job involves common property or strata boundaries, we can coordinate with property managers and provide documentation suitable for maintenance logs.

Blocked drains in Glendenning properties typically result from tree root intrusion in older clay pipes or fat and grease buildup in kitchen lines. Roots enter through microscopic cracks and expand over time, trapping debris and eventually causing structural failure. In kitchen drains, fats cool and solidify as they move through the pipe, creating obstructions that trap food waste and soap residue. A slow-draining sink or gurgling sounds from the drain are early indicators; if left unaddressed, the blockage will eventually cause a complete backup.

We begin with high-definition CCTV CCTV check to locate the blockage, identify its type (roots, grease, foreign object, or collapsed pipe), and determine the depth and position within the property boundary. The camera footage allows us to confirm the cause and explain the options before quoting. For most blockages, hydro jetting (hydro-jetting) is the most effective clearing method. Water is fired at pressures between 3,000 and 5,000 PSI through specialised nozzles, pulverising roots and scouring grease from pipe walls to restore near-full capacity.

If CCTV inspection reveals structural damage (cracked, collapsed, or severely root-damaged sections), we explain the repair options and provide a fixed-price quote for the additional work. For pipes beneath driveways, pathways, or established landscaping, trenchless pipe relining is often the least disruptive solution. A resin-saturated liner is inserted into the damaged section and cured in place, creating a seamless "pipe-within-a-pipe" that is structurally independent and does not require excavation.

After clearing, we verify the outcome by running water through the system and, where needed, conducting a follow-up CCTV check to confirm the line is clear and the pipe structure is sound. We also explain what caused the blockage and, if it's a recurring issue, discuss preventative options such as regular maintenance jetting or root barrier installation. If you're dealing with a blocked drain in Glendenning, call us to arrange a camera inspection and fixed-price quote.

Roof and gutter leaks in Glendenning properties often result from blocked downpipes, rusted gutter joints, or damaged roof flashing around penetrations (vents, chimneys, skylights). When gutters overflow during heavy rain, water backs up under roof tiles or seeps through fascia boards, causing internal water damage to ceilings and walls. The longer a leak persists, the greater the risk of structural damage, mould growth, and electrical hazards if water reaches wiring or ceiling fixtures.

We inspect the roof and gutter system onsite to locate the source of the leak, checking downpipes for blockages, gutter joints for rust or separation, and roof flashing for cracks or lifting. Once the fault is identified and the scope is confirmed, we provide a fixed-fee quote covering the repair work. Common repairs include clearing blocked downpipes, resealing gutter joints, replacing damaged flashing, and re-bedding lifted roof tiles.

Where the leak has caused internal water damage, we can coordinate with other trades (plasterers, painters, electricians) to manage the full repair process, or we provide documentation suitable for insurance claims if the damage is covered by your policy. We verify the repair by running water through the gutter system to confirm proper flow and checking for leaks at repaired joints.

Roof and gutter work involves working at height, and all safety protocols are followed including the use of harnesses, guardrails, and stable access equipment. If you're dealing with a roof or gutter leak in Glendenning, call us to arrange an inspection and fixed-price quote.

Toilet faults in Glendenning properties range from minor issues (constantly running cisterns, weak flush, slow refill) to urgent problems (blocked bowl, cracked cistern, leaking base seal). A toilet that keeps running after flushing is usually caused by a faulty flapper valve or fill valve, which allows water to leak from the cistern into the bowl continuously. A weak or incomplete flush often indicates a blocked rim jet, damaged flapper, or incorrect water level in the cistern. A blocked toilet that won't clear with a plunger typically has an obstruction further down the waste line or in the sewer connection.

We assess the toilet onsite to confirm the fault, checking the cistern components (flapper, fill valve, flush valve), inspecting the bowl and trap for blockages, and testing the waste line connection. For minor faults, we replace worn components using stock parts carried in our mobile workshop. For blockages, we use a closet auger or high-pressure jetter to clear the obstruction, and if needed, CCTV camera inspection to confirm the waste line is clear and structurally sound.

If the toilet is cracked, the base seal is leaking, or the fixture is outdated and inefficient, replacement is the more cost-effective long-term solution. We explain the options (standard close-coupled suite, wall-hung unit, or water-efficient dual-flush model) and provide a fixed-price quote covering removal, installation, and disposal of the old fixture. All installations comply with AS/NZS 3500 and include connection to the existing waste line, water supply, and verification of the flush performance and seal integrity.

Toilet repairs and replacements are backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship, plus standard manufacturer warranties on all hardware. If you're dealing with a faulty toilet in Glendenning, call us to arrange an assessment and fixed-price quote.

Burst pipes are one of the most urgent plumbing emergencies, causing rapid water damage to floors, walls, ceilings, and belongings. In Glendenning properties, broken pipes often result from corrosion in older galvanised steel or copper pipes, ground movement stressing rigid pipe joints, or freeze-thaw cycles in exposed external pipework. A sudden drop in water pressure, water stains on walls or ceilings, or the sound of running water when no taps are open are indicators of a hidden leak or burst.

If a pipe bursts, the immediate priority is isolating the water supply to stop the flow and limit damage. The main water shutoff is typically located at the front boundary near the water meter. Once the water is off, call us for emergency dispatch. We respond immediately to ruptured pipe emergencies, arriving with electronic leak detection equipment (ultrasonic detectors and thermal imaging) to locate the burst section without unnecessary wall or floor removal.

Once the burst is located and the scope is agreed, we provide a fixed-price quote covering the repair work. This typically involves cutting out the damaged section, installing a new pipe segment using approved materials (copper or PEX for water lines, PVC or ABS for waste lines), and pressure-testing the repair to verify it's watertight. If the burst was caused by corrosion or ground movement, we explain what contributed to the failure and, if needed, recommend repiping vulnerable sections to prevent recurrence.

We use CCTV camera inspection where needed to assess the condition of concealed pipework and identify other areas at risk of failure. All repairs comply with AS/NZS 3500 and are backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship. If you're dealing with a burst or leaking pipe in Glendenning, call us immediately for emergency dispatch.

General plumbing covers the full range of non-emergency residential and light commercial work including tap and fixture installations, bathroom and kitchen renovations, pipe replacements, water filter installations, backflow prevention device testing, and routine maintenance. In Glendenning, general plumbing work often involves upgrading older fixtures to water-efficient models, replacing corroded pipework in pre-1990 homes, and installing new appliances (dishwashers, washing machines, outdoor taps) in renovated or extended properties.

Our general plumbing services include leak detection and repair (taps, toilets, pipes, hot water systems), fixture installations and replacements (taps, sinks, toilets, showers, baths), appliance connections (dishwashers, washing machines, water filters), pipe repairs and replacements (water mains, waste lines, gas lines), backflow prevention device installation and testing, and bathroom and kitchen plumbing for renovations. We provide fixed-price quotes after confirming the scope onsite, and all work complies with AS/NZS 3500 and the National Construction Code.

For renovation work, we coordinate with builders, tilers, and other trades to ensure plumbing rough-in (concealed pipework installed before wall and floor finishes) is completed on schedule and to the correct layout. We provide detailed quotes covering materials, labour, and any required compliance work, and we explain what is included and what is handled by other trades (tiling, waterproofing, plastering) to avoid confusion.

All general plumbing work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship, plus standard manufacturer warranties on all fixtures and hardware. We test and verify all work before leaving: taps and fixtures are checked for leaks, appliances are connected and tested for correct operation, and waste lines are flushed to confirm proper drainage. If you need general plumbing work completed in Glendenning, call us to arrange an assessment and fixed-price quote.
