Plumber Glenwood

Fixed Today Plumbing handles domestic and commercial plumbing across Glenwood, from routine tap repairs and toilet replacements to full water heater installations and drainage overhauls. Every job starts with an on-site inspection using diagnostic tools where needed (drain inspection cameras for blockages, electronic leak detectors for hidden pipe faults, pressure testing for gas systems). Once the affected area and cause are confirmed, we provide a fixed-price quote before any work proceeds. You decide after the scope is clear.

Our process is consistent: diagnose the fault, explain what's required in plain English, quote the job upfront, complete the work to Australian Standards, then test and verify the outcome before leaving. For drainage work, that means confirming flow rates after clearing. For gas installations, it means a pressure loss test to ensure the system is gas-tight before recommissioning. For hot water repairs, it means checking temperature and pressure at the tap.

We're a family-owned business operating across Sydney since 2010, with a near-perfect 5-star rating based on over 800 verified customer reviews. That reputation comes from doing what we say: arriving when expected, explaining the work clearly, pricing it fairly, and cleaning up properly. If something goes wrong with our workmanship, it's covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty. If a part fails, the manufacturer's warranty applies, and we'll coordinate the claim and replacement.

All plumbers attending your property are licensed in NSW, vetted through police and background checks, and trained to work respectfully in occupied homes. We isolate the work area where practical, use protective coverings for floors and surfaces, and remove all debris generated by the job. For emergency plumbing situations, urgent jobs are sent out first, and the nearest available technician is allocated from our local dispatch points.

Blocked drains in Glenwood typically start with slow drainage in sinks, showers, or floor waste grates, progressing to gurgling sounds or water backing up into lower fixtures. The blockage location determines the clearing method: internal fixture traps are often cleared mechanically, while external sewer lines usually require high-pressure water jetting after CCTV camera inspection confirms the obstruction type and location.

Our drain inspection cameras provide a live feed of the pipe interior, showing whether the blockage is caused by tree roots, builder debris, collapsed pipe sections, or grease and soap buildup. That visual confirmation tells us whether jetting alone will restore flow or whether structural repair (pipe patching, relining, or replacement) is needed. High-pressure water jetting uses specialized nozzles that fire water at pressures between 3,000 and 5,000 PSI to pulverize roots and scour grease from pipe walls, restoring the line to near-full capacity.

If the camera shows structural damage (cracks, root intrusion points, or pipe separation), we explain the repair options: trenchless pipe relining for accessible sections, targeted excavation and patch repair for localized faults, or full pipe replacement where the line has deteriorated beyond economical repair. Pipe relining involves inserting a resin-saturated liner into the damaged pipe, then inflating and curing it to create a seamless, structurally independent "pipe-within-a-pipe." This method works well under driveways, pathways, and established landscaping where excavation would be disruptive.

After clearing or repair, we test flow rates and confirm the line is draining properly before leaving. For properties with recurring root intrusion, we explain maintenance options (periodic jetting to manage regrowth) and long-term solutions (relining to seal entry points). All drainage work that connects to Sydney Water's sewer system falls under their jurisdiction, and compliance documentation is provided where required.

Roof leaks at Glenwood properties often trace back to damaged or displaced roof tiles, deteriorated flashing around penetrations (vents, chimneys, skylights), or blocked gutters causing water to back up under the roofline. Gutter blockages are common in areas with established trees, where leaf litter and debris accumulate and restrict flow, forcing water to overflow or seep into fascia boards and roof spaces.

Our roof plumbing assessment starts with locating the entry point, which isn't always directly above the visible water stain inside. Water can travel along rafters or sarking before dripping into the ceiling cavity. We use leak detection tools (thermal imaging and moisture meters) to trace the path and confirm the source, then explain what's required: clearing and resealing gutters, replacing damaged flashing, repointing ridge capping, or replacing broken tiles.

Gutter clearing involves removing debris, flushing downpipes to confirm flow, and checking for rust or separation at joints. If the gutter has rusted through or pulled away from the fascia, we explain repair versus replacement options. Flashing repairs involve removing the old sealant, fitting new flashing material, and sealing it properly to prevent water ingress. Ridge capping that has lifted or cracked is rebedded and repointed to restore the weatherproof seal.

After repairs, we test the system (by running water through the gutters or waiting for the next rain event if practical) and confirm there's no further water entry. For properties with recurring gutter blockages, we explain maintenance schedules (typically twice-yearly clearing in areas with heavy tree coverage) and gutter guard installation options to reduce future buildup.

Toilet faults at Glenwood properties usually involve a cistern that won't stop filling (often a faulty inlet valve or flapper), a bowl that won't flush properly (blocked trap or insufficient water volume), or a leak at the base (failed wax seal or cracked pan). A toilet that keeps running after flushing typically has a worn flapper valve that isn't sealing properly, allowing water to trickle continuously into the bowl. That wastes water and increases your bill, but it's usually a straightforward repair.

Our assessment confirms the fault: we check the inlet valve, flapper, and overflow tube inside the cistern, inspect the flush button or lever mechanism, and check for cracks in the pan or leaks at the floor connection. Minor faults (flapper replacement, inlet valve adjustment, or flush mechanism repair) are usually completed during the first visit. If the pan is cracked or the waste connection has failed, replacement is the safer option to avoid ongoing leaks and potential water damage to the floor substrate.

Toilet replacement involves removing the old pan, cleaning and preparing the waste connection, fitting a new wax seal, positioning and securing the new toilet, then connecting the water supply and testing the flush. We confirm the pan is sealed properly at the floor, the cistern fills and stops at the correct level, and the flush clears the bowl completely before leaving. All replaced components and packaging are removed from site.

For toilet repairs in occupied homes, we work discreetly and efficiently, keeping the bathroom usable as much as possible. If the toilet needs to be out of service for an extended period (such as when replacing the pan), we explain the timeframe upfront so you can plan accordingly.

A burst pipe is urgent. Water damage escalates quickly, affecting floors, walls, ceilings, and contents. The immediate priority is isolating the water supply (at the meter or nearest isolation valve) to stop the flow, then arranging a licensed and insured plumbing technician to assess the damage, locate the burst section, and repair or replace it.

Burst pipes in Glenwood properties often result from corrosion in older copper or galvanized steel pipes, water hammer (pressure surges when taps are closed quickly), or ground movement stressing rigid connections. In practice, the burst section is usually obvious (water spraying from a visible crack or joint separation), but hidden leaks behind walls or under floors require electronic leak detection tools to pinpoint the fault without unnecessary demolition.

Our leak identification uses ultrasonic listening devices and thermal imaging to trace the sound and temperature signature of escaping water. Once located, we explain the repair options: cutting out the damaged section and fitting a new piece of pipe, or replacing a longer run if the surrounding pipe is also corroded and likely to fail soon. The repair is tested under full pressure before the wall or floor is closed up, and we confirm there are no further leaks at the connection points.

For leaking pipes that aren't actively bursting but are weeping or dripping, the assessment confirms whether the leak is from a joint (which can often be resealed) or from corrosion in the pipe wall (which requires replacement). We explain what's required, quote the job upfront, and complete the work once you've decided to proceed. All replaced pipe sections and fittings are removed from site, and the work area is cleaned up before departing.

Routine plumbing maintenance reduces the likelihood of emergency failures and extends the lifespan of fixtures, pipes, and appliances. For Glenwood properties, a typical maintenance visit includes checking for leaks at visible connections, testing water pressure at taps, inspecting hot water system condition (anode rod, relief valves, sediment buildup), clearing slow drains before they block completely, and confirming gas appliances are operating safely.

Our general plumbing services cover everything from minor repairs (replacing tap washers, adjusting toilet cisterns, resealing leaking shower screens) to larger installations (new bathroom fit-outs, laundry upgrades, outdoor tap installations). Every job follows the same process: assess the situation, explain what's required, provide a fixed-price quote, complete the work to meet Australian Standards, then test and verify the outcome.

We use high-quality tools and materials for all work, and our plumbers are trained to handle a wide range of fixtures and systems. If a repair requires a specific part that isn't immediately available, we explain the lead time and can often provide a temporary solution to keep the fixture usable until the part arrives. All replaced components are disposed of responsibly, and the work area is left clean and tidy.

For properties with older plumbing infrastructure, we explain what to watch for (signs of corrosion, slow drainage, fluctuating water pressure) and what maintenance steps can delay costly replacements. Preventative maintenance is often more cost-effective than waiting for failures, and it reduces the risk of water damage from sudden leaks or bursts.

Commercial plumbing for Glenwood businesses involves managing higher-capacity systems, coordinating work around operating hours, and ensuring compliance with health and safety regulations. Whether it's a retail premises, office building, or light industrial site, our commercial plumbing services are designed to minimize downtime and keep your operations running smoothly.

Common commercial plumbing tasks include clearing blocked grease traps (required by Sydney Water for food service businesses), repairing or replacing commercial hot water systems, installing backflow prevention devices (mandated for sites with irrigation systems or chemical storage), and maintaining shared amenities (toilets, kitchenettes, and external taps). We schedule work during low-impact periods (evenings, weekends, or planned shutdowns) to reduce disruption to your business.

For larger projects (full bathroom fit-outs, commercial kitchen installations, or site-wide pipe upgrades), we provide detailed quotes with scope breakdowns, coordinate with other trades where required, and ensure all work meets building code requirements and local authority approvals. Documentation is provided for compliance records, including test certificates for backflow devices, gas pressure tests, and drainage inspections.

Our commercial plumbers are experienced in working within operational sites, following site induction procedures, and adhering to workplace health and safety protocols. We understand the cost of downtime for businesses, and we work efficiently to complete jobs on schedule and within budget. All work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, and we provide ongoing maintenance agreements for businesses that prefer scheduled servicing over reactive call-outs.
