Plumber in Granville

Fixed Today Plumbing is a family-owned business operating across Sydney for over 15 years. We're fully licensed in NSW for plumbing, drainage, and gas fitting (Licence 305428C), and all attending technicians hold current trade licences. We maintain comprehensive Public Liability and Workers Compensation insurance, which protects you if accidental property damage occurs during work or if a workplace injury happens on the job.

Our service range covers typical commercial and residential plumbing needs: clearing blockages, repairing or replacing hot water systems, detecting and repairing leaks, installing and servicing gas appliances, fixing taps and toilets, and managing stormwater drainage issues. We also handle backflow prevention testing, drain relining where structural damage is confirmed, and emergency callouts for burst pipes or gas leaks.

The process follows a consistent pattern: diagnose the fault using CCTV cameras, pressure testing, or leak detection equipment; confirm the scope and explain what's involved; provide a fixed-price quote; complete the repair or installation to Australian Standards; then test and verify the outcome before leaving. If inspection reveals additional issues, we explain the options and confirm scope before any extra work proceeds. You decide once the full picture is clear.

We're available 24/7 for emergencies. Urgent jobs are sent out first, and the nearest available technician is allocated from our local dispatch points. For standard bookings, service the same day is typically available depending on current schedule. Arrival timing is confirmed when you book, and we provide ETA updates where possible. All work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship, and manufacturer warranties apply to hardware and appliances we supply.

Blocked drains in Granville properties typically result from tree root intrusion in older clay or terracotta pipes, or from debris buildup in kitchen and bathroom lines. Root blockages are common in streets with established trees, where fine roots enter cracks and expand over time, trapping waste and restricting flow. Kitchen blockages often trace back to fat, oil, and grease (FOG) that solidifies as it cools, narrowing the pipe and catching solid waste.

We start with a CCTV drain CCTV inspection to identify the blockage type, depth, and exact location within your property boundary. This allows us to confirm whether it's a simple obstruction or a structural issue requiring pipe lining or repair. Once we know what we're dealing with, we explain the options and provide a fixed-price quote before proceeding.

For debris and root blockages, we use high-pressure water jetting (hydro-jetting) to scour the pipe walls and restore flow. The jetter fires water at pressures sufficient to break up roots and remove grease buildup without damaging the pipe. For foreign objects or metal obstructions, we use mechanical clearing tools. If the camera reveals structural damage such as collapsed sections or severe root penetration, we explain the repair options, including trenchless pipe relining where excavation would be disruptive.

After clearing, we verify flow is restored and check for any underlying damage that could cause the blockage to return. If the pipe is structurally sound, the repair is complete. If there's damage, we explain what's involved in a permanent fix and provide a separate quote for that work. All blockage clearing is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship.

When a hot water service fails in Granville, the cause is usually a failing heating element in electric storage tanks, a faulty gas burner or pilot light in continuous flow systems, or sediment buildup that insulates the heating element and reduces efficiency. In older storage systems, rust-coloured water in the morning is often the first sign of a corroded sacrificial anode rod or internal tank deterioration.

We assess the system type, age, and symptoms during the first visit. For electric storage systems, we check the heating elements, thermostat, and tempering valve. For gas continuous flow systems, we check the burner, ignition system, and gas supply. For heat pump systems, we check the compressor, refrigerant levels, and electrical connections. If the fault is repairable, we explain what's involved and provide a fixed-fee quote. If the system is beyond economical repair, we explain the replacement options and provide quotes for new installations.

All hot water installations must comply with the National Construction Code and AS/NZS 3500 standards. This includes the mandatory installation of Tempering Valves to limit tap water to 50°C and prevent scalding, and Pressure Relief Valves to prevent tank over-pressurisation. We supply and install major brands including Rheem, Dux, and Rinnai, and all installations are backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship plus standard manufacturer warranties on the unit itself.

After installation or repair, we test the system to confirm temperature, flow, and safety device operation. We verify the tempering valve is set correctly, check for leaks at all connections, and confirm the relief valve is functioning. We explain the basic maintenance requirements and provide documentation for warranty and compliance records. If you're replacing an old system, we remove and dispose of the old unit as part of the service.

Roof and gutter leaks in Granville properties often result from damaged flashing, cracked roof tiles, or blocked downpipes that cause water to overflow and penetrate the roofline. In older homes, deteriorated valley irons or rusted box gutters are common culprits. In newer builds, poorly sealed roof penetrations (such as vent pipes or skylights) can allow water ingress during heavy rain.

We use specialised leak detection equipment to pinpoint the source of the leak, which isn't always directly above the visible water stain. Water can travel along roof battens or ceiling joists before dripping into the home. Once the source is identified, we assess the extent of the damage and confirm whether it's a repair or replacement job. We explain what's involved and provide a fixed-fee quote before starting the work.

For minor leaks, the fix may involve resealing flashing, replacing damaged tiles, or repairing a section of gutter. For more extensive damage, a full gutter replacement or roof section repair may be required. We also clear blocked downpipes and check that stormwater drainage is functioning correctly, as overflow from blocked gutters is a common cause of water damage in Granville's older suburbs.

After the repair, we test the area with water to verify the leak is stopped. We check surrounding areas for any secondary leaks or damage and confirm that water is draining correctly through the downpipes. If the leak has caused internal water damage, we can provide documentation for insurance claims or strata records. All gutter and roof repairs are backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship.

A toilet that won't stop running, won't flush properly, or leaks at the base requires professional assessment to determine whether it's a simple repair or a full replacement. The most common faults are worn flapper valves or inlet valves inside the cistern, which cause the toilet to run continuously and waste water. A toilet that won't flush properly may have a blocked trapway, a failing flush valve, or insufficient water flow from the cistern.

We assess the toilet during the first visit to identify the fault. For running toilets, we check the flapper valve, inlet valve, and overflow tube. For flushing issues, we check the flush valve, water level, and trapway for blockages. For leaks at the base, we check the wax seal and floor flange. We explain what's involved and provide a fixed-price quote before starting the repair.

Most toilet repairs are completed on the first visit using parts we carry on the van. If a specific part isn't in stock, we order it and return to complete the repair once it arrives. If the toilet is cracked, badly corroded, or beyond economical repair, we explain the replacement options and provide a quote for a new toilet installation. All toilet repairs are backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship.

After the repair, we test the toilet to confirm it's flushing correctly, the leak is stopped, and the cistern is refilling to the correct level. We also check for any secondary leaks at the supply line or cistern connections. We clean up the work area and remove any old parts or debris.

Business plumbing in Granville covers retail, hospitality, healthcare, and industrial properties where downtime directly affects operations and revenue. We understand the importance of minimising disruption and completing work within agreed timeframes, and our technicians are experienced in working around business hours, strata requirements, and site-specific safety protocols.

Common commercial plumbing issues include ruptured pipes, major water leaks, blocked drains in high-use areas, collapsed water mains, and water heater failures in multi-unit buildings. We also handle grease trap maintenance, backflow prevention testing, and compliance work required by Sydney Water or local council regulations.

The process follows the same pattern as residential work: assess the fault, confirm scope, provide a fixed-price quote, complete the work to Australian Standards, then test and verify the outcome. For larger projects, we provide detailed job documentation suitable for maintenance logs, compliance records, and strata reporting. We can coordinate with property managers, strata, or tenants for access and follow site induction and sign-in procedures where required.

We carry a large parts inventory on our vans to minimise return visits, and we can arrange after-hours or weekend work to reduce disruption to business operations. All commercial plumbing work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship and completed to AS/NZS 3500 standards.
