Looking for a Specific Type of Plumber in Hurstville?

Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Hurstville NSW by diagnosing the restriction onsite, confirming the scope, then removing it with the least disruptive method for the pipework. We service all Sydney metropolitan regions with local dispatch points across Sydney including West Sydney, Dolans Bay, and Ruse, so urgent jobs are sent out first. Property access can vary across Hurstville homes and strata buildings, so entry, parking, and the affected fixtures are confirmed before work is priced.

A blockage is more than a nuisance. When water cannot move through the pipe, it often backs up into sinks, showers, or toilets, and that increases the risk of overflow and water damage. What typically happens is the problem starts as a slow drain, then becomes a complete stop once debris or roots catch more material.

Our approach follows a consistent process so you know what is happening next: first we carry out a detailed onsite assessment using specialised diagnostic tools such as CCTV check equipment and locating equipment. Then you receive a fixed price quote with no hidden fees before work starts. Once approved, the clearing or repair work is completed to Australian Standards, then the line is tested and the work area is cleaned up before we leave.

Fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour) makes it easier to make a decision once the cause is confirmed. The Fixed Price Guarantee means the price quoted is the price paid, and there are no hidden costs. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued. No call-out fee for many service areas (check specific suburb pages), and if you are booking in Hurstville it is worth confirming the call-out status when you speak with the team.

Fixed Today Plumbing is a family-owned and operated plumbing company with over 15+ years of service in the Sydney region. All attending technicians are licensed and insured plumbers in NSW, and the business is fully licensed in NSW for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting (NSW Licensed Plumber, Drainer & Gasfitter - 305428C, ABN: 49 147 237 741). We are also fully insured, with up-to-date insurance policies maintained (Public Liability and Workers Compensation). In plain English, Public Liability relates to accidental damage to your property during the job, and Workers Compensation relates to workplace injuries while the work is being carried out.

When you book, we provide clear arrival communication, including ETA updates where possible. On arrival, staff identity is confirmed and technicians can identify themselves before entry. Police checks and background checks are completed for technicians. And inside the home we use drop sheets or protective covers where practical, plus boot covers when requested or when conditions require it.

We also help with related plumbing work in Hurstville when it is identified during the visit, but only after the scope is explained and priced.

  • Drain clearing and drain repairs, including kitchen sink clogs and sewer blockages
  • Repairs for leaking taps where water damage is a risk
  • Hot water system repairs when you lose hot water supply or temperatures fluctuate
  • Toilet repairs when a toilet won't flush correctly or keeps backing up
  • Gas fitting completed by a properly licensed gas fitter where gas work is required

If you want to reduce the uncertainty before anyone starts work, a quick call is enough to book the right technician for Hurstville and confirm whether this should be treated as an emergency or a same-day standard job. Call 24/7 emergency plumbing services if wastewater is backing up or you have active overflow.

Offers can change, but at the time of writing there is $55 off for customers mentioning "web55" (limited to 1 per person/paying jobs).

Drainage problems and blocked drains in Hurstville

Blocked drains in Hurstville usually start with one small restriction that slowly gets worse. The practical risk is overflow, unpleasant smells, and in severe cases, wastewater backing up through the lowest point. If an inspection shows pipe damage rather than a simple clog, the options are explained and quoted once scope is established.

A pattern we notice is that kitchen and laundry lines often block because grease and soapy residue cool and stick to pipe walls, then catch more debris over time. In bathrooms, hair and soap buildup can create a tight restriction that shows up as slow draining and gurgling.

  • Grease buildup in kitchen lines, especially where hot water does not flush the line well
  • Hair and soap scum compacting in shower and basin wastes
  • Foreign objects lodged in the line (often discovered once the camera goes in)
  • Tree roots entering the pipe where there is an opening, then trapping debris

Fixed Today Plumbing uses the latest technology including camera inspection equipment, high-pressure jetters, and electric pipe locators. On first inspection, the camera is what turns guesswork into a solid plan, because it shows whether you are dealing with a soft blockage, root intrusion, or a collapsed section that needs repair.

Once diagnosed and quoted, the aim is to restore flow and confirm the line is running clear before the technician leaves. If access is restricted, such as basement parking, timed loading zones, or strata rules, we can work around booking windows when that is disclosed at the time of scheduling.

Fixed price, explained before work starts

Fixed Today Plumbing provides fixed, clear pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour). The scope is explained in plain English and inclusions and exclusions are confirmed before any work proceeds, which helps avoid surprise costs.

Reviews and long-term local experience

Fixed Today Plumbing has a near-perfect 5-star rating based on 800+ verified customer reviews, backed by over 15+ years of service in the Sydney region. That history matters for drainage work because outcomes depend on correct diagnosis, not guesswork.

24/7 emergencies and same-day booking options

For emergencies, Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch, meaning urgent jobs are sent out first and the nearest available licensed field technician is allocated from localised dispatch points across Sydney. For standard drainage enquiries in Hurstville, same-day service is available, with ETA updates where possible.

Licensed and insured for your protection

All attending technicians are properly licensed plumbers in NSW, and the business is properly insured, with current insurance policies maintained (Public Liability and Workers Compensation). Public Liability relates to accidental property damage during the job, and Workers Compensation relates to workplace injuries while work is being performed.

Burst pipe repairs in Hurstville

A burst pipe is urgent because water can damage floors, cabinetry, and wall linings quickly. Fixed Today Plumbing repairs ruptured pipes in Hurstville NSW by locating the failure point, making the area safe, then completing a repair that can be tested before departing. If the issue is hidden, leak location tools are used to narrow down the location before any more invasive work is considered.

From similar jobs across Sydney, the trigger is not always age alone. What often happens is a small weakness in a joint or connection becomes a full split after pressure changes, movement, or incidental damage.

Fixed Today Plumbing uses Electronic Ultrasonic Leak Detection for hidden bursts and can complete structural pipe repair where required. Where a pipe section is damaged but the line is still suitable, pipe relining may be an option because it can restore the pipe without full excavation, but suitability depends on what the inspection shows.

Emergency calls receive immediate dispatch, and for non-emergency pipe repairs same-day service is available where bookings allow. The attending technician will confirm access at the door, explain what needs to be done, then provide upfront pricing before starting.

Emergency plumbing support for Hurstville properties

Plumbing emergencies are stressful, especially when water is escaping or drains are backing up. Fixed Today Plumbing provides 24/7 emergency services for commercial and domestic clients in Hurstville, with immediate dispatch for emergencies and same-day service available for all standard plumbing and gas enquiries. If the situation changes while you are waiting, ETA updates are provided where possible.

Emergencies cover more than one type of fault. A common situation we encounter is a blockage that escalates into an overflow, or a leak that starts small and then becomes visible at ceilings or skirting because water has travelled behind finishes.

We can provide brief safety-first guidance by phone to reduce harm while the plumber is on the way, without asking you to diagnose the fault. On arrival, technicians confirm their identity before entry and will explain what they are doing before starting work.

After confirming the scope, work is priced upfront and completed with care for occupied homes. Drop sheets or protective covers are used where practical, and the work area is left clean and tidy once the job is complete.

Gas fitting and gas leak detection in Hurstville

Gas work in Hurstville must be completed by a NSW-licensed gas fitter because gas safety depends on correct installation and testing. Fixed Today Plumbing provides licensed gas fitting, appliance installation, and gas leak detection and repair, and work is completed to applicable Australian Standards and safety requirements. Where required, compliance documentation is provided for regulated work.

What typically happens is a gas fault shows up as an odour, a hissing sound near an appliance, or a burner that is not operating cleanly. These are not issues to wait on, because the priority is making the system safe before returning it to normal use.

  • Gas repairs for damaged or leaking pipework
  • New gas connections and new gas points where approved
  • Gas leak detection using appropriate test equipment
  • Testing and verification before leaving, where practical

Pricing is confirmed before work begins, based on the scope identified onsite. And for occupied homes or security-sensitive sites, we confirm access permissions at the door, explain what will be done, then keep the work area tidy throughout the job.

The business is fully insured, with current insurance policies maintained (Public Liability and Workers Compensation). That insurance is there to protect you if accidental damage occurs during work, and to cover workplace injuries connected to the job.

Hot water system repairs and installations in Hurstville

No hot water is usually a same-day priority, but the right fix depends on what has failed and what system you have. Fixed Today Plumbing repairs and installs hot water systems in Hurstville, including Gas, Electric, and Solar units, with transparent pricing provided after an onsite assessment confirms the scope. If replacement is the safer option, the recommendation is explained before any work proceeds.

On first inspection, the early signs are often inconsistent temperature, reduced flow at the hot taps, or visible leaks from the unit or valves. Those symptoms matter because hot water faults can worsen quickly once a tank starts to fail.

Fixed Today Plumbing provides installation, repair, and maintenance for major brands including Rheem, Dux, and Rinnai. In plumbing generally, compliant hot water service installation includes correct valves and safe temperature control, so the system can be tested and verified before it is left in service.

For properties with tight access, such as units with basement parking or managed access times, we can coordinate booking windows when those details are provided at the time of scheduling. Receipts and invoices are provided and are suitable for landlords, agents, and business records.

General plumbing and drainage help for Hurstville homes and businesses

Many plumbing problems in Hurstville are connected. A blocked drain can reveal a broken pipe, and a leak can lead to a drain smelling because water is getting into places it should not. Fixed Today Plumbing handles general domestic and commercial plumbing services, and the next step is always the same, identify the cause onsite and provide a fixed-price quote before any work starts.

We can coordinate with property managers, strata, or tenants for access, which is often the deciding factor for how quickly a non-emergency job can be completed. If the job needs documentation for a maintenance log, sale, or tenancy, we can document work completed and tests performed where relevant.

Professional conduct matters when someone is working inside your property. Technicians are uniform-wearing, respectful, and committed to leaving work areas clean/tidy. We also take reasonable care around finished surfaces such as stone benchtops, tiled bathrooms, and timber floors.

If you are unsure whether the issue is purely drainage or something else, you do not need to diagnose it. Describe what is happening and we will book the right licensed technician to assess it in Hurstville and explain the next step once the scope is clear.

Blocked drain FAQs for Hurstville

What usually causes blocked drains in Hurstville?

Blocked drains in Hurstville are commonly caused by grease and food residue in kitchen lines, hair and soap buildup in bathroom wastes, foreign objects lodged in the pipe, or tree roots entering a damaged section of drain. The cause matters because clearing a soft blockage is different to repairing a damaged pipe, and the options are quoted once the the scope is confirmed onsite.

Do you use a drain camera before clearing the blockage?

Fixed Today Plumbing can use drain inspection cameras to inspect a drain blockage in Hurstville before or during clearing, depending on access and what the symptoms suggest. A camera inspection helps confirm whether the problem is a simple restriction or structural damage. Once the cause is visible, the technician explains the findings and provides fixed, upfront pricing before proceeding.

How quickly can you attend a blocked drain in Hurstville?

Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch for emergencies and service the same day available for all general plumbing and gas enquiries, including blocked drains in Hurstville. Immediate dispatch means urgent jobs are sent out first and the nearest available licensed trade technician is allocated from localised dispatch points across Sydney. An ETA is provided when booking, with updates where possible.

How is the job priced for drain clearing in Hurstville?

Drain clearing in Hurstville is priced using fixed, transparent pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour). The technician confirms the affected area, access, and likely cause, then provides a fixed-price quote with no hidden fees before work starts. If inspection shows additional issues, options are explained and priced once the scope is agreed.

Is there a call-out fee for Hurstville?

Fixed Today Plumbing has "No call-out fee for many service areas (check specific suburb pages)", and call-out status can vary by location and job type. When booking for Hurstville, the simplest approach is to ask the team to confirm the call-out position at the time you schedule the visit, before a technician is sent.

What should I do while waiting if drains are backing up?

If drains are backing up at your Hurstville property, the priority is to limit overflow and arrange an urgent assessment. Avoid using the fixtures that are affected and keep people away from any wastewater until a licensed and comprehensively insured plumber attends. Fixed Today Plumbing offers 24/7 Emergency support for residential and commercial clients, with immediate dispatch for emergencies.

Can a blocked drain damage my property if I leave it?

Yes, a blocked drain can cause property damage if it progresses to overflow or forces water into places it should not be. The practical consequences can include damage to floors, cabinetry, and wall linings, plus ongoing odours and hygiene issues. Early inspection is usually simpler, and if repairs are needed they are explained and quoted after confirming the cause.

How often should drains be inspected or maintained in Hurstville?

There is no single schedule that suits every Hurstville property, because the right frequency depends on usage, previous blockages, and whether tree roots are present near the line. A camera inspection is most useful when there are repeated symptoms such as slow drainage or smells. If maintenance is recommended, the reason is explained and pricing is confirmed upfront.
