Looking for a Specific Type of Plumber in Glenwood?

Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Glenwood by locating the restriction and removing it with the least disruptive method for the pipework. We dispatch from West Sydney hubs, typically reaching Glenwood properties within standard response windows for urgent jobs. All attending technicians are licensed in NSW (305428C), and we're fully insured with Public Liability and Workers Compensation. This covers typical internal and external blockages in reachable pipes; if inspection shows structural damage or extensive root intrusion, the options are explained and scope is clarified before any additional work proceeds.

Glenwood sits within easy reach via the M7 corridor. Many properties here were built during the 2000s master-planned estate expansion, which means most homes have modern PVC drainage lines rather than the older clay or terracotta pipes common in surrounding suburbs. That said, established landscaping around newer estates can still introduce root intrusion over time, and FOG (fats, oils, grease) buildup in kitchen lines remains a frequent cause of blockages regardless of property age.

Our process starts with an on-site inspection. We use high-definition CCTV drain cameras to identify the blockage type, depth, and exact location within your property boundary. Once the cause is confirmed, we provide an upfront fixed-fee quote before starting work. For most obstructions, high-pressure water jetting (hydro-jetting) restores flow by pulverising roots and scouring grease from pipe walls. If the camera reveals cracks, collapses, or offset joints, we explain the repair options, including trenchless drain relining where excavation isn't practical.

We're a family-owned plumbing company with over 15 years of operation in Sydney. Our team operates from localised dispatch points across the metro area to ensure fast arrival, and all work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship. We confirm access and scope on arrival, test flow after clearing, and leave the work area clean. If you're dealing with slow drainage, gurgling sounds, or unpleasant odours in Glenwood, a short call to Fixed Today Plumbing on 1800 349 338 can confirm whether this needs urgent attention and arrange the right technician.

We provide clear arrival communication, including ETA updates where possible, and explain what we're doing before starting. Payment is straightforward (all major credit cards accepted), and we provide documentation suitable for landlords, agents, and strata where required. For Glenwood residents, upfront pricing and a no-hidden-fees approach mean you can decide once scope is confirmed on site and the fixed price is provided.

Drainage Issue?

When a drain slows or stops in Glenwood, the usual causes are FOG accumulation in kitchen lines, hair and soap scum in bathroom drains, or tree roots entering cracks in external pipes. In practice, we see blockages present as slow-draining water, gurgling sounds when other fixtures are used, or unpleasant odours rising from the drain. Ignoring these signs typically leads to complete blockage, water backing up into sinks or showers, and potential overflow damage if left unaddressed.

Our plumbers start by confirming the affected area and using a CCTV drain camera to identify the obstruction type and location. This visual inspection shows whether the blockage is debris-based (cleared with hydro-jetting) or structural (requiring repair or relining). High-pressure water jetting fires water at pressures between 3,000 and 5,000 PSI to pulverise roots and scour grease from pipe walls, restoring the line to near-full capacity without damaging the pipe itself.

Common blockage sources in Glenwood properties include:

  • Fats and oils poured down kitchen sinks that solidify as they cool, trapping solid waste
  • Hair and small debris obstructing shower and basin drains over time
  • Tree roots from established landscaping seeking moisture through microscopic cracks in pipes
  • Foreign objects (sanitary products, wipes, or toys) flushed down toilets

We provide an upfront fixed quote once the scope is confirmed, and the price is by the job, not by the hour. After clearing, we test flow rates and verify the blockage is fully removed before leaving. If the camera reveals pipe damage, we explain the options and confirm scope before any additional work proceeds. For drainage problems affecting your Glenwood home, call Fixed Today Plumbing on 1800 349 338 to arrange an assessment.

We provide a fixed-fee quote before starting work, based on confirmed scope. The price quoted is the price paid, with no hidden fees or surprise charges at the end of the job.

24/7 Emergency Dispatch

We dispatch from West Sydney hubs for rapid arrival in Glenwood. Urgent jobs are sent out first, and we provide ETA updates where possible. Available 24/7 for emergencies, 365 days a year.

Licensed & Fully Insured

All attending technicians are properly licensed NSW plumbers (305428C). We're fully insured with Public Liability (protecting you if accidental property damage occurs) and Workers Compensation (covering workplace injuries on the job).

Burst Pipe Plumbers

A burst pipe is urgent. Active leaks can cause significant property damage, saturate walls and ceilings, and create conditions for mould growth if not isolated and repaired quickly. In Glenwood properties, ruptured pipes often result from corroded joints in older copper lines, pressure surges, or ground movement stressing rigid connections. If you're seeing water pooling, damp patches spreading, or hearing rushing water behind walls, the priority is getting a licensed plumbing professional onsite to isolate the leak and stop further damage.

We dispatch immediately for ruptured pipe emergencies, arriving from West Sydney hubs. On arrival, we isolate the affected section to stop water flow, assess the damage, and confirm the repair approach. For accessible leaks, we replace the damaged section with new pipework. Where the burst is behind finished walls or under slabs, we use electronic ultrasonic leak detection to pinpoint the exact location without invasive exploratory work.

If excavation or wall access isn't practical, trenchless drain relining offers a no-dig repair solution. We insert a resin-saturated liner into the damaged pipe, inflate it, and cure it in place using hot water or UV light. The cured liner creates a seamless, structurally independent pipe-within-a-pipe that's suitable for PVC, copper, and cast iron pipes, provided the original structure hasn't completely collapsed. This approach saves you the cost and disruption of digging up driveways, landscaping, or bathroom floors.

We provide upfront pricing once the leak is located and the repair method is confirmed. All work is tested and verified before we leave, and we clean up the work area. For burst pipe emergencies in Glenwood, call Fixed Today Plumbing on 1800 349 338 for immediate dispatch.

Emergency Drainage

Plumbing emergencies don't follow business hours. When a toilet overflows at midnight, a drain backs up during a weekend, or a ruptured pipe floods your laundry, you need a properly licensed plumber who can dispatch immediately and arrive prepared to make it safe. Fixed Today Plumbing operates 24/7 emergency plumbing services across Glenwood, with technicians dispatched from West Sydney hubs to reach you within typical response windows for urgent jobs.

Our emergency plumbers in Glenwood handle a range of urgent situations, including:

  1. Burst pipes and active leaks causing property damage
  2. Overflowing toilets or sewage backups creating health hazards
  3. Blocked drains causing water to back up into sinks, showers, or floor waste
  4. Hot water system failures leaving you without hot water
  5. Gas leaks or faults requiring immediate isolation and repair

When you call, we confirm the urgency and dispatch the nearest available technician. We arrive in uniform, identify ourselves, and explain what we're doing before starting. All emergency work follows our standard process: diagnose the fault, confirm scope, provide an upfront fixed-price quote, complete the repair, and test the outcome. We use drop sheets and protective covers to protect floors and surfaces, and we clean up the work area before leaving.

Emergency pricing is transparent. We explain what affects the cost (urgency, time on site, parts, after-hours timing) and provide the fixed price before starting work. You can decide once scope is verified. For plumbing emergencies in Glenwood, call Fixed Today Plumbing on 1800 349 338 any time, day or night.

Gas Fitting

Gas work in Glenwood must be performed by a duly licensed gas fitter and comply with AS/NZS 5601.1 safety standards. Fixed Today Plumbing holds a current NSW gas fitting licence (305428C), and all gas installations, repairs, and connections are pressure-tested to ensure the system is gas-tight before being recommissioned. We issue compliance certificates where required, providing documented proof that the work meets safety standards.

Our gas services cover new installations, repairs, and safety checks. If you're installing a new gas cooktop, connecting a continuous flow hot water service, or adding a gas point for heating, we confirm the existing gas line capacity, run new pipework where needed, and test the system under pressure before handing it over. For gas leakages, we isolate the supply immediately, use combustible gas detectors or thermal imaging to locate the fault, repair or replace the affected section, and re-test the entire system to confirm it's safe.

Gas faults often present as a distinctive "rotten egg" odour (an added mercaptan signal), hissing sounds near appliances, or unusual soot buildup on burners. If you smell gas, isolate the supply at the meter if safe to do so, ventilate the area, and call a licensed gas fitter immediately. Don't operate electrical switches or create ignition sources.

We provide upfront fixed pricing for gas work once scope is confirmed onsite. Installation costs depend on the distance from the existing gas line, the number of new points, and whether pipework needs to run through walls or under floors. All work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship, and manufacturer warranties apply to appliances and hardware. For gas fitting services in Glenwood, call Fixed Today Plumbing on 1800 349 338.

Hot Water Issues

When hot water supply systems fail in Glenwood homes, the usual signs are rust-coloured water in the morning (indicating a failing sacrificial anode rod or sediment buildup), fluctuating temperatures, or no hot water at all. Hot water systems in Australian properties typically use Electric (storage or instant), Gas (continuous flow or storage), or Heat Pump technology. Each has different failure modes and replacement considerations.

Electric storage systems often fail due to element burnout or thermostat faults. Sediment buildup at the tank base can insulate the heating element, reducing efficiency and eventually causing the element to overheat and fail. Gas continuous flow systems can develop ignition faults, blocked burners, or scaled heat exchangers. Heat pump systems rely on refrigerant cycles and can fail due to compressor faults or refrigerant leaks.

We install, repair, and maintain hot water service systems from major brands including Rheem, Dux, Rinnai, Vulcan, Aquamax, and Thermann. Our process starts with an onsite assessment to confirm the fault. If repair is viable, we explain the fix and provide an upfront quote. If replacement is more cost-effective, we explain the options (system type, capacity, energy efficiency) and confirm the installation scope, including any required upgrades to Tempering Valves (limiting water to 50°C at the tap to prevent scalding) or Pressure Relief Valves (preventing tank over-pressurisation).

All hot water installations comply with the National Construction Code and AS/NZS 3500 standards. We test the system after installation to confirm correct temperature, pressure, and flow rates, and we issue compliance documentation where required. For hot water issues in Glenwood, call Fixed Today Plumbing on 1800 349 338 to arrange an assessment.

Blocked Drain FAQ's in Glenwood

What causes blocked drains in Glenwood properties?

Blocked drains in Glenwood typically result from FOG (fats, oils, grease) buildup in kitchen lines, hair and soap scum in bathroom drains, or tree roots entering cracks in external pipes. Many Glenwood homes were built during the 2000s estate expansion and have modern PVC drainage, but established landscaping can still introduce root intrusion over time. Foreign objects flushed down toilets (sanitary products, wipes) are also frequent causes.

How do you clear a blocked drain?

We start with a CCTV drain camera inspection to identify the blockage type and location. For most obstructions, high-pressure water jetting (hydro-jetting) restores flow by pulverising roots and scouring grease from pipe walls at pressures between 3,000 and 5,000 PSI. If the camera reveals pipe damage, we explain repair options including trenchless pipe lining. We test flow rates after clearing to confirm the blockage is fully removed.

What should I do if a drain is backing up?

Stop using the affected fixture immediately to prevent overflow and further water damage. If water is already backing up into sinks or showers, isolate the area and call a properly licensed plumber (NSW). Don't attempt to clear it with chemical drain cleaners, as these can corrode pipes over time and worsen structural issues. A quick call to Fixed Today Plumbing on 1800 349 338 can confirm urgency and arrange immediate dispatch.

Can tree roots damage drainage pipes?

Tree roots seek moisture and can enter pipes through microscopic cracks or loose joints. Once inside, they expand and trap debris, causing blockages and structural damage over time. camera inspection shows whether root intrusion is present and how extensive the damage is. High-pressure water jetting can clear roots from the pipe, but if the pipe is cracked or offset, repair or relining may be needed to prevent recurrence.

How much does it cost to clear a blocked drain in Glenwood?

The cost depends on the blockage location (internal vs external), accessibility, and whether structural damage is present. We provide an upfront fixed-price quote once scope is confirmed after the CCTV inspection. The price is by the job, not by the hour, and there are no hidden fees. You can decide whether to proceed once the fixed price is provided. Call 1800 349 338 to arrange an assessment and confirm the call-out fee status when booking.

How long does it take to clear a drain blockage?

Most straightforward blockages are cleared within one to two hours, including CCTV check, hydro-jetting, and flow testing. Time on site depends on blockage severity, accessibility, and whether additional work (repairs or relining) is needed. We confirm the expected timeframe once scope is assessed onsite. If inspection reveals structural damage requiring further work, we explain the options and confirm timing before proceeding.

Do you provide emergency drain cleaning in Glenwood?

We operate 24/7 emergency plumbing services with dispatch from West Sydney hubs. Urgent jobs are sent out first, and we provide ETA updates where possible. For emergencies involving sewage backup, overflowing toilets, or active flooding, call Fixed Today Plumbing on 1800 349 338 immediately. We arrive prepared to isolate the issue, assess the cause, and restore flow as quickly as practical.

How can I prevent blocked drains?

Avoid pouring fats, oils, and grease down kitchen sinks (dispose of them in the bin once cooled). Use drain guards to catch hair and food particles in bathroom and kitchen sinks. Only flush toilet paper and human waste, never sanitary products or wipes. Regularly pour boiling water down drains to dissolve soap scum. If you have established trees near drainage lines, consider periodic CCTV inspections to catch root intrusion early before it causes blockages or structural damage.

What is trenchless drain relining?

Trenchless drain relining repairs damaged pipes without excavation. We insert a resin-saturated liner into the existing pipe, inflate it, and cure it in place using hot water or UV light. The cured liner creates a seamless, structurally independent pipe-within-a-pipe that's suitable for PVC, clay, cast iron, and concrete pipes. This method is effective where excavation isn't practical (beneath driveways, bathrooms, or established landscaping) and avoids the cost and disruption of traditional dig-and-replace repairs.

Are you licensed and insured for drainage work in Glenwood?

All attending technicians are licensed plumbers and drainers in NSW (licence 305428C). We're comprehensively insured with Public Liability (protecting you if accidental property damage occurs during work) and Workers Compensation (covering workplace injuries on the job). All drainage work complies with applicable Australian Standards, and we issue compliance paperwork where required. Work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship.
