Looking for a Specific Type of Plumber in Kangaroo Point?

Fixed Today Plumbing delivers blocked drain clearing for Kangaroo Point in the Sutherland Shire, with 24/7 emergency assistance and same-day service available for standard bookings. This page covers the usual causes of drain blockages and what happens on the first visit. If inspection shows the line is damaged rather than just clogged, the options are explained and quoted once scope is confirmed on site.

In practice, a drain blockage rarely stays "just slow" for long. As the restriction builds up, water starts to back up into the lowest fixture, and that is when smells and overflow risks show up. The first visit is focused on confirming where the blockage is and why it has happened, using tools such as CCTV drain cameras and high-pressure jetting where suitable. After diagnosis, you receive a flat-rate quote with no hidden fees before work starts, because Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour). Once approved, the repair is completed to meet Australian Standards and the result is verified with practical testing and tidy clean-up before the plumber leaves.

Price and timing depend on what the inspection finds. Access matters too, especially where a property has limited parking, narrow side access, or a shared entry area, so it helps to mention any access rules when booking. Many service areas have no call-out fee (check specific suburb pages), so ask about the call-out status for Kangaroo Point when you book. For eligible jobs, there is also $55 off when you mention "web55" (limited to 1 per person/paying jobs).

Fixed Today Plumbing is fully licensed in NSW for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting, and the attending technician is a NSW-licensed plumbing specialist. The business is fully insured, with current insurance policies maintained (Public Liability and Workers Compensation). In plain English, Public Liability is there in case accidental property damage occurs during the work, and Workers Compensation relates to workplace injuries while the plumber is on the job.

Drain unblocking services

A gurgling sink, a shower that pools at your feet, or a toilet that rises too high usually means there is a restriction in the line. Fixed Today Plumbing handles blocked drains in Kangaroo Point by locating the cause and clearing it using the least disruptive method suited to the pipe and blockage. This covers common internal and external clogged drains in accessible pipework. If the inspection points to structural failure, repair options are explained and quoted once scope is confirmed onsite.

In plumbing, blockages commonly start with grease and food waste in kitchen lines, hair and soap build-up in bathroom wastes, or foreign objects that should not be flushed. Tree roots can also intrude into older or damaged pipes, because roots naturally seek moisture. If the blockage is ignored, the next stage is often a surcharge point or overflow in the lowest gully or floor waste, which can create hygiene issues and property damage.

What typically happens is the line clears, then blocks again a few weeks later, because the underlying cause has not been identified. That is why a CCTV inspection can be useful when the history suggests a recurring problem. Once the cause is confirmed, we clear the blockage with equipment such as high-pressure jetting and then explain what was found in plain English, so you can make an informed decision about the next step.

If you would like to understand your options for a damaged or repeatedly blocked line, this can link through to unblocking drains and repair pathways, depending on what the inspection shows.

Clear, fixed pricing before work starts

Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour). After the issue is diagnosed and the scope is confirmed onsite, you receive a fixed price quote before work starts, and the Fixed Price Guarantee means the price quoted is the price paid. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued, which helps avoid surprise changes.

Customer reviews you can verify

Fixed Today Plumbing has a near-perfect 5-star rating based on 800+ verified customer reviews. That volume of feedback matters because it reflects many separate jobs, across different property types and plumbing problems, rather than a single good experience.

24/7 emergencies with immediate dispatch

For urgent blocked drains and other emergencies, Fixed Today Plumbing offers 24/7 Emergency support for commercial and domestic clients. Immediate dispatch means urgent jobs are sent out first and the nearest available technician is allocated from localised dispatch points across Sydney, and we provide clear arrival communication, including ETA updates where possible.

Fully licensed, insured for drainage work

Drainage work should be completed by a licensed plumbing specialist. Fixed Today Plumbing is duly licensed in NSW for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting, and the business is fully insured, with current insurance policies maintained (Public Liability and Workers Compensation). Public Liability covers accidental property damage during work, and Workers Compensation relates to workplace injuries on the job.

Burst Pipe Repairs

An active leak is stressful, and a ruptured pipe can damage floors, walls, and cabinetry quickly. Fixed Today Plumbing completes broken pipe repairs for Kangaroo Point properties, starting with finding the leak source and stopping further damage. This covers typical bursts and hidden leaks that are accessible. If the pipe is underground or in a difficult location, the plumber explains the safest repair options and confirms scope before any additional work proceeds.

On first inspection, the cause is often a failed joint, aging pipework, or an impact point. Where the break is below ground, no-dig options such as pipe lining may be suitable, because it can restore the pipe without full excavation in some situations. The right approach depends on access, the pipe material, and whether the line has collapsed.

If you spot any of these warning signs, it usually warrants a licensed and insured plumbing technician attending promptly:

  • Sudden increases in water usage that do not match your normal routine
  • Unexpected drops in water pressure across multiple fixtures
  • Ongoing water leaks that keep returning after wipe-down
  • Damp patches on walls, ceilings, or floors

Once the leak is located, the plumber confirms what is included in the repair and provides a flat-rate quote before the work starts. Where relevant, we can document work completed and tests performed, which helps for landlords, agents, and insurance paperwork.

Blocked Drain Emergencies

A drain backing up into a shower, toilet, or floor waste is an emergency when it is overflowing or affecting multiple fixtures. Fixed Today Plumbing offers emergency drain blockage support for Kangaroo Point, with 24/7 Emergency availability. Immediate dispatch is used for urgent jobs, and the nearest available plumber is allocated from localised dispatch points across Sydney once details are confirmed.

Emergency plumbing work is about restoring safety and function first, then confirming the cause so it does not keep happening. From jobs like this, the biggest risk with overflow is contamination and water damage, especially if wastewater enters bathrooms or laundry areas. For that reason, the attending technician focuses on controlling the situation and confirming what is happening in the line before discussing longer-term repairs.

Here is what emergency plumbing may cover, depending on what is found onsite:

  • Making burst pipes safe and stopping active leaks
  • Clearing blocked drains to restore flow
  • Gas leak identification and repair by a duly licensed gas fitter
  • Hot water system repairs or replacements where required
  • Toilet and tap faults that are causing overflow or major water waste

Arrival timing depends on current bookings, traffic, and access to the property, so we provide clear arrival communication, including ETA updates where possible. Before any repair starts, the scope is explained in plain English and a fixed-price quote is provided, so you can decide with the facts in front of you.

Gas Plumbers

Gas fitting needs a duly licensed gas fitter, because safety testing is part of the job, not an optional extra. Fixed Today Plumbing provides gas plumbing services for Kangaroo Point, including gas leak identification, repairs, and new gas connections. This work is completed by technicians who are properly licensed in NSW for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting, and regulated work is documented where required.

Gas faults often show up as a smell of gas, appliance issues, or soot and staining around burners. A pattern we notice is that small leaks can be intermittent, which makes proper detection equipment important. After locating the problem, the plumber explains what is being repaired and what will be tested before the system is put back into service.

Gas fitting services can include:

  • Installation and repair of gas hot water service systems
  • Gas appliance installation for stoves and heaters
  • Gas leak testing and repair
  • New gas connections and line work where appropriate

For pricing, you receive a fixed-price quote before we begin, and there are no hidden costs. If access is security-sensitive or you have specific entry requirements, tell us when booking and we can accommodate safety sensitive requests.

Hot Water Problems

No hot water, fluctuating temperatures, or a leaking tank usually means the system needs assessment before it fails completely. Fixed Today Plumbing repairs and installs hot water systems for Kangaroo Point homes and businesses, covering gas, electric, and solar systems. If the unit is beyond economical repair, replacement options are explained and quoted after the onsite check confirms capacity needs and existing connections.

From many jobs like this across Sydney, the first sign is often rusty water, popping noises from a storage unit, or hot water that runs out faster than it used to. A licensed plumber checks the unit, the valves, and the connections, then confirms what can be repaired safely. Where a replacement is required, the installation is completed to applicable Australian Standards and tested before the site is left tidy.

Fixed Today Plumbing works on common water heater types, including:

  • Instant hot water systems
  • Electric hot water systems
  • Gas-powered hot water systems

We work with major brands like Rheem, Dux, and Rinnai, and all hardware is covered by standard manufacturer warranties. Workmanship is backed by a Lifetime Labour Warranty on all workmanship, which covers the labour component of the installation or repair completed.

If the problem is urgent, 24/7 Emergency support is available, and we provide ETA updates where possible once a booking is confirmed.

Contact your local Kangaroo Point plumbers

If you are dealing with blocked drains in Kangaroo Point, the fastest way to move forward is to book an assessment so the plumber can confirm the cause and give you a flat-rate quote before work starts. This approach reduces guesswork, because the quote is based on the confirmed scope, access, and what the diagnostic tools show. If inspection shows the problem is structural, the repair options are explained clearly before any additional work proceeds.

Pricing is kept straightforward: Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), backed by the Fixed Price Guarantee. Many service areas have no call-out fee (check specific suburb pages), so ask about call-out status for Kangaroo Point when you book. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued, and payment can be made by all major Credit Cards (Visa, Mastercard).

Trust matters when someone is coming into your home. All attending technicians are NSW-licensed plumbers, and staff identity is confirmed on arrival, and technicians can identify themselves before entry. Police checks and background checks are completed for technicians. Technicians arrive in uniform, use protective coverings where needed, and clean up the work area at the end of the job.

If you are in a rental or strata-managed property, tell us about any booking windows, parking restrictions, or sign-in requirements. We can coordinate with property managers, strata, or tenants for access, and we can provide receipts and invoices suitable for landlords, agents, and business records.

Blocked Drain FAQ's in Kangaroo Point

What are the common causes of blocked drains?

Blocked drains in Kangaroo Point are most often caused by a build-up of grease in kitchen lines, soap residue and hair in bathroom wastes, or items that should not be flushed. Tree roots can also enter cracked pipes when they are seeking moisture. The exact cause matters, because recurring blockages usually need inspection before a lasting fix is quoted.

How can I prevent my drains from getting blocked?

The most reliable prevention is reducing what enters the drain in the first place. In practice, kitchens block when grease and food scraps go down the sink, and bathrooms block when hair builds up over time. If a property has a history of repeated blockages, a professional inspection can confirm whether the issue is build-up or pipe damage before it becomes an emergency.

What should I do if my drain is blocked?

If a drain is blocked, limit use of the affected fixtures and arrange a licensed and insured plumber to assess it. Fixed Today Plumbing can attend Kangaroo Point to confirm where the restriction is and what is causing it, then provide a fixed-price quote before starting work. This matters, because incorrect clearing methods can damage pipes or push the blockage further into the line.

Can I use chemical drain cleaners to unblock my drains?

Chemical drain cleaners are not a reliable solution for many blockages, and they can create risks for pipework and for the plumber attending later. A blocked drain is better handled by confirming the cause first, especially when there is a recurring issue or wastewater is backing up. Once the scope is confirmed onsite, a fixed-price quote can be provided for the appropriate clearing method.

How do plumbers clear blocked drains?

Plumbers typically clear blocked drains by confirming the blockage location, then using the method that suits the pipe and obstruction. Fixed Today Plumbing uses tools such as CCTV drain cameras to see what is happening inside the line and high-pressure water jetting to clear debris where suitable. If the camera shows damage, repair options are explained and quoted after scope is finalised.

What are the signs of a drain blockage?

Common signs of a blocked drain include slow drainage, gurgling sounds, unpleasant odours, or water rising in toilets or floor wastes. A more urgent sign is wastewater backing up or affecting multiple fixtures at once. If that is happening in Kangaroo Point, it is usually time to book 24/7 Emergency plumbing support so the cause can be confirmed and the overflow risk reduced.

Can blocked drains cause damage to my property?

Yes, blocked drains can damage a property when water or wastewater overflows, because it can soak into flooring, walls, and cabinetry and create ongoing hygiene issues. In severe cases, pressure and back-up can contribute to pipe failures. Early assessment helps, because it allows the plumber to confirm whether it is a simple blockage or a damaged pipe before the situation escalates.

How often should I have my drains inspected and cleaned?

There is no single schedule that suits every home, because it depends on how the property is used and whether there is a history of recurring blockages. If your Kangaroo Point property has repeated slow drains or multiple fixtures gurgling, an inspection can be worthwhile to confirm the cause before booking ongoing maintenance. Planned inspections are usually most useful when there is a repeat pattern, not just a one-off blockage.
