Emergency Plumber Granville

When an urgent plumbing issue occurs in Granville, the first step is containment: isolate the water supply if it's a broken pipe, ventilate the area and evacuate if you smell gas, or stop using fixtures if a drain is backing up. Once you call, we confirm the nature of the emergency, provide an estimated arrival time based on current dispatch availability, and send a licensed and comprehensively insured plumber from our West Sydney hub.

On arrival, the plumber assesses the fault using diagnostic tools such as CCTV inspection equipment for blockages, electronic leak detectors for hidden pipe failures, or gas detection equipment for suspected leaks. We explain what's causing the issue, what needs to happen next, and provide a fixed-price quote before starting any work. The quote covers the scope confirmed during assessment; if inspection reveals additional faults, we explain the options and provide a revised quote before proceeding.

Once you approve the scope and price, we complete the repair or temporary make-safe work, test the system to confirm function, and clean up the work area before leaving. You receive an invoice suitable for insurance claims, strata records, or landlord documentation, and all work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship. Manufacturer warranties apply to any parts or appliances installed.

Our process is designed to reduce decision friction under stress. You don't need to diagnose the fault yourself or understand what's involved before calling. A brief description of the symptoms is enough for us to allocate the right technician and equipment, and the full scope is defined onsite before any cost is committed.

When a pipe bursts in Granville, the immediate concern is water damage to flooring, walls, and electrical systems. Burst pipes in older homes often occur in original galvanised steel or copper lines that have corroded internally over decades, while newer properties may experience failures at poorly soldered joints or where pipes have been stressed by ground movement. We respond to burst pipe emergencies by isolating the water supply, assessing the damage, and replacing or repairing the affected section.

Hidden leaks are harder to detect and often reveal themselves through rising water bills, damp patches on walls or ceilings, or the sound of running water when all fixtures are off. We use electronic ultrasonic leak detection equipment to pinpoint the leak location without invasive exploratory work, then confirm the repair scope and provide a fixed quote before cutting into walls or floors.

Pipe repairs in occupied homes are managed to minimise disruption. We use drop sheets to protect floors, isolate the work area where practical, and clean up before leaving. If the repair requires access behind tiles or cabinetry, we explain what's involved and confirm the scope before proceeding, so there are no surprises about the extent of work or the final cost.

Active leaks are stressful. If you're seeing water pooling, hearing running water, or noticing damp patches spreading, turn off the water at the meter if you can access it safely, then call us for immediate dispatch. A NSW-licensed plumber will assess the fault, make it safe, and provide a fixed quote for permanent repair.

A leaking tap in Granville is usually caused by a worn washer, damaged O-ring, or a faulty ceramic disc cartridge, depending on the tap type. The constant drip wastes water and drives up bills, and in older homes with original fixtures, the tap body itself may have corroded internally, requiring replacement rather than repair.

We assess leaking taps by disassembling the fixture, identifying the failed component, and confirming whether repair or replacement is the most cost-effective option. Straightforward washer or cartridge replacements are often completed within the first visit. If the tap body is corroded or the fixture is obsolete, we provide options for replacement and source a matching or upgraded unit.

Tap repairs are low-disruption jobs, but they require the right parts and tools to ensure a durable fix. We carry common washers, cartridges, and O-rings in our mobile workshops, so most repairs are completed without return visits. Once the tap is reassembled, we test for leaks and confirm proper function before leaving.

Shower issues in Granville range from blocked drains and leaking taps to failed waterproofing that allows water to penetrate wall cavities. A shower that drains slowly usually indicates a hair and soap buildup in the trap, which we clear using mechanical or chemical methods. Leaking shower screens or taps require assessment to determine whether seals, hinges, or tap components need replacement.

More serious shower leaks involve failed waterproofing membranes, which allow water to seep through tiles and damage the substrate. These leaks often show up as damp patches on the ceiling below, peeling paint, or mould growth. Waterproofing repairs require removal of affected tiles, membrane replacement, and re-tiling, which is quoted separately once the extent of damage is confirmed.

We assess shower faults onsite, confirm the cause, and provide a fixed quote for the repair scope. If the issue is a simple tap washer or clogged drain, it's usually resolved within the first visit. If structural waterproofing work is needed, we explain the process and timeline before starting.

Gas work in Granville requires a licensed gas fitter and must comply with AS/NZS 5601.1 safety standards. We handle gas leakage identification, appliance installation, and repairs to gas hot water systems, cooktops, and heating units. If you smell gas (a distinctive rotten egg odour added as a safety signal), evacuate the property, avoid operating electrical switches, and call us immediately for emergency dispatch.

Gas leak testing involves pressure testing the system and using combustible gas detectors or thermal imaging to locate leaks in concealed pipework. Once the leak is identified, we isolate the gas supply, repair or replace the faulty section, and retest the system to confirm it's gas-tight before recommissioning. All gas work is documented with a compliance certificate where required by NSW regulations.

New gas appliance installations involve connecting the appliance to the existing gas line, testing for leaks, and verifying correct operation. We confirm that the gas supply is adequate for the appliance load and that ventilation requirements are met. If the existing gas line is undersized or corroded, we provide a quote for upgrading the supply before proceeding with the installation.

When you contact Fixed Today Plumbing for an emergency in Granville, the first step is a brief description of the issue: what's happening, where it's located, and whether there's immediate risk (active leak, gas smell, sewage backup). We confirm your address, provide an estimated arrival time based on current dispatch availability, and allocate a licensed plumbing technician from our West Sydney hub.

Our technicians arrive in uniform and can identify themselves before entering the property. They're licensed and fully insured plumbers in NSW (Licence 305428C), and all staff have completed police and background checks. We use drop sheets to protect floors, wear boot covers where requested, and isolate the work area to minimise disruption.

On arrival, the plumber assesses the fault using diagnostic equipment (CCTV cameras, leak detectors, gas testing equipment) and explains what's causing the issue in plain English. We confirm the scope of work needed, provide a fixed-price quote, and explain what's included and what would be handled separately if additional faults are discovered. You decide whether to proceed once the scope and price are confirmed.

Once work is approved, we complete the repair, test the system to confirm function, and clean up the work area before leaving. You receive an invoice with a breakdown of work completed, and all repairs are backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship. Manufacturer warranties apply to any parts or appliances installed.

If you're unsure whether your situation is urgent, a quick call is enough to confirm. We can provide brief safety-first guidance to reduce immediate harm (isolate water, ventilate gas, stop using fixtures) while the plumber is on the way, but we don't ask you to diagnose the fault or attempt repairs yourself.
