Looking for a Specific Type of Plumber in Lane Cove North?

Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Lane Cove North, NSW, using the right diagnostic equipment first, then removing the blockage with the least disruptive method for the pipework. We dispatch from localised dispatch points across Sydney, including West Sydney, Dolans Bay, and Ruse, which supports immediate dispatch for emergencies and same-day service for standard enquiries. Onsite conditions vary by property and access, so the scope is confirmed onsite before any fixed price quote is issued.

A blocked line is usually simple at first, slow drainage and smells, then it turns into a mess when wastewater backs up. What typically happens is the restriction builds over time until one busy morning pushes it over the edge.

Fixed Today Plumbing is a family-owned and run plumbing company with over 15+ years of service in the Sydney region. All attending technicians are fully licensed plumbers in NSW, and the business is adequately insured, with current insurance policies maintained (Public Liability and Workers Compensation). Public Liability helps protect you if accidental property damage occurs during work, and Workers Compensation relates to workplace injuries on the job.

We handle blocked drains and related plumbing work across Sydney, including:

  • Drain cleaning and unblocking, including CCTV checks where needed
  • Targeted leak detection and repair for hidden bursts
  • Hot water system installation and servicing
  • Repairs for toilets, sinks, and other fixtures that won't behave
  • Plumbing renovations and upgrades where the scope is confirmed on site first

Lane Cove North jobs sometimes involve access notes, tight work areas, or building rules that affect setup time. If you tell us about parking or access limits when booking, we can plan around it and keep the visit efficient.

If you're unsure whether the problem is urgent, a short call is enough for us to help you book the right type of attendance. You don't need to diagnose it first.

Blocked Drains Problem

Blocked drains in Lane Cove North usually mean something is restricting the pipe, so water can't move away at a normal rate. This covers typical internal and external blockages in accessible pipes. If the inspection shows the pipe is damaged or collapsed, the options are explained and quoted once scope is confirmed onsite.

In practice, we see the same early indicators again and again. Slow drainage, gurgling sounds, and odours often show up before a full overflow happens. Leaving it too long can push wastewater into fixtures, then into floors and cabinets.

Common causes we find on inspection include:

  • Grease and food waste building up in kitchen lines
  • Hair and soap residue collecting in shower and vanity wastes
  • Foreign items that shouldn't be in toilets or floor wastes
  • Tree roots entering joints or cracks in underground pipework

Fixed Today Plumbing uses high-definition CCTV check equipment to confirm what's happening inside the line, then clears the restriction with equipment matched to the blockage. For stubborn build-up or roots, high-pressure water jetting is used to restore flow and clean the pipe walls. We can also use an electric pipe locator to help pinpoint where the problem sits before any repair is discussed.

Cost and timing depend on what the camera shows, how easy the access is, and whether any structural repair is needed. You'll receive fixed, transparent pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour) before work starts, backed by the Fixed Price Guarantee (the price quoted is the price paid).

Fixed, Upfront Pricing You Can Decide On

You receive fixed, clear pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour) once the scope is agreed onsite. That approach helps avoid surprise add-ons because the work is agreed before it starts. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued, and the Fixed Price Guarantee (the price quoted is the price paid) applies.

800+ Verified Reviews Across Sydney

Fixed Today Plumbing has a near-perfect 5-star rating based on 800+ verified customer reviews. That feedback reflects consistent outcomes across day-to-day jobs like blocked drains, hot water faults, and leak repairs, not one-off projects.

24/7 Emergency Support and Same-Day Service

Urgent jobs are sent out first, and the nearest available licensed plumbing professional is allocated from our localised dispatch points across Sydney. For general plumbing and gas enquiries, same-day service is available. We provide clear arrival communication, including ETA updates where possible.

Licensed and Insured for Drainage and Gas Work

Fixed Today Plumbing is fully licensed in NSW for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting, and all attending technicians are licensed plumbers (NSW). NSW Licensed Plumber, Drainer & Gasfitter - 305428C (ABN: 49 147 237 741). The business is comprehensively insured, with up-to-date insurance policies maintained (Public Liability and Workers Compensation).

Burst Pipes

Burst pipes in Lane Cove North need fast attendance because water damage often spreads well beyond the visible leak point. This covers common burst and leaking pipe faults where the affected section can be located and safely accessed. If inspection indicates the leak source is concealed or there's wider deterioration, the next steps are explained and quoted once scope is confirmed.

On first inspection, a pattern we notice is that the first damage is not always where the pipe failed. Water follows framing, insulation, and gravity, so the wet patch you can see can be metres from the break.

Fixed Today Plumbing can locate hidden bursts using electronic ultrasonic leak detection, then repair the failed section to restore normal supply. Where an underground pipe is damaged but still structurally suitable, Pipe relining can be an option to repair the line without excavation, but suitability depends on what the inspection finds.

Pricing depends on access, the pipe material, and how much of the line needs repair. A fixed-price quote is provided before work begins so you can make a decision with the scope clearly defined.

Your Emergency Drainage Plumber

A drain overflow or sewer back-up in Lane Cove North is disruptive, and the priority is to restore flow and prevent further mess. Fixed Today Plumbing provides 24/7 emergency plumbing services for domestic and commercial clients, with immediate dispatch for emergencies. This covers urgent attendance to diagnose the cause and provide a fixed-price quote before any clearing or repair work starts.

The usual sequence is that the emergency is made safe, then the underlying cause is confirmed, because clearing a blockage without checking why it happened can lead to repeat callouts. Where helpful, we provide photos or explanations of findings so you can see what the plumber is basing the recommendation on.

Arrival timing depends on current bookings and traffic conditions, but we provide clear arrival communication, including ETA updates where possible. If you're booking from a strata building or a site with restricted access, tell us early so we can coordinate entry and keep delays to a minimum.

For many service areas there is no call-out fee, but it varies by suburb. Ask our team about the Lane Cove North call-out status when you book, and we'll confirm it clearly.

Gas Fitting

Gas fitting services in Lane Cove North should be handled by a NSW-licensed gas fitter because gas work needs testing and documentation where required. Fixed Today Plumbing provides licensed gas fitting services for repairs, new connections, and leak detection, and the scope is established before a fixed-price quote is provided.

From similar work, the most common reason people call is a suspected leak or an appliance that isn't operating correctly. Gas faults can be intermittent, so an onsite assessment focuses on confirming the issue and making the installation safe before anything is recommissioned.

Work is completed to applicable Australian Standards and safety requirements. Where required, required documentation is provided for regulated work, and invoices are supplied for landlords, agents, and business records.

Hot Water Issues

Hot water problems in Lane Cove North are usually caused by a failed component, internal tank wear, or a supply issue that needs correct testing. Fixed Today Plumbing installs and repairs hot water systems (Gas, Electric, Solar), and provides same day service for standard enquiries. This covers typical repairs and part replacements where the unit and valves are accessible, and the final approach is confirmed after inspection.

What often happens is the system gives small signs before it fails completely. Fluctuating temperature, reduced flow, or discoloured water can indicate internal wear that needs assessment before it turns into a full loss of hot water service.

Fixed Today Plumbing works on major brands including Rheem, Dux, and Rinnai. A fixed-price quote is given before we begin, and hardware is covered by standard manufacturer warranties. Workmanship is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on all workmanship, which covers the labour component of the work we complete.

We service all Sydney metro regions with local dispatch locations across Sydney, and provide fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour) once the onsite scope is finalised. If access is restricted or parking is limited, mention it at booking so we can plan the visit properly.

Price changes with the job, not with guesswork. The final cost depends on what's blocked, how far along the line the restriction is, whether CCTV inspection is needed, and how easy the area is to access. You'll receive a fixed-price quote before any work begins, and the quote remains valid for one month from the date issued.

For many service areas there is no call-out fee, but it varies by suburb. Confirm the call-out status for Lane Cove North when you book. If you mention "web55", there's $55 off for customers (limited to 1 per person/paying jobs).

For trust and safety, staff identity is confirmed on arrival and technicians can identify themselves before entry. Police checks and background checks are completed for technicians, and we take care inside occupied homes using drop sheets or protective covers where practical.

Payment is available via all major Credit Cards (Visa, Mastercard). If you need paperwork for a strata manager, agent, or landlord, ask when booking and we'll provide invoices suitable for records.

Blocked Drain FAQ's in Lane Cove North

What are the common causes of blocked drains?

Blocked drains are most often caused by a build-up that narrows the pipe over time, then finally restricts flow. In many homes this involves grease in kitchen lines, hair and soap residue in bathroom wastes, or foreign items flushed into toilets. Tree roots can also enter cracked underground pipes. The cause is confirmed onsite before any fixed-price quote is given.

How can I prevent my drains from getting blocked?

Preventing blockages usually comes down to reducing what enters the line and catching debris early. Avoid flushing wipes or sanitary products, keep food scraps out of sink wastes, and don't pour cooking oils into the drain as they cool and harden inside the pipe. If your property has repeated issues, a professional inspection can identify the cause before it escalates.

What should I do if my drain is blocked?

If a drain is blocked, it's safest to stop using the affected fixture and arrange an assessment, especially if water is backing up. Fixed Today Plumbing can attend Lane Cove North with 24/7 emergency support available, confirm what's blocked using the right diagnostics, then provide fixed, upfront pricing before work starts. If the inspection shows pipe damage, options are explained first.

Can I use chemical drain cleaners to unblock my drains?

Chemical drain cleaners can sometimes shift a minor restriction, but they can also damage some pipe materials and make later clearing harder for the plumber. They also don't confirm the cause, which matters if the issue is roots or structural damage. If the blockage is recurring, slow drainage is affecting multiple fixtures, or there is overflow, book a licensed and insured plumbing technician (NSW) to inspect and quote first.

How do plumbers clear blocked drains?

Blocked drain clearing typically starts with confirming the location and cause of the restriction, often using a CCTV drain camera. Once the scope is known, a plumber may use hydro jetting to remove grease, debris, or roots and restore full flow. If the inspection shows damaged pipework, repair options are discussed and quoted once the scope is established.

What are the signs of a drain blockage?

Common signs include slow draining water, gurgling sounds from nearby fixtures, unpleasant odours, and water backing up in sinks, showers, or toilets. A more serious sign is overflow at a floor waste or outside gully. If multiple fixtures are affected at the same time, it can indicate a main line restriction and should be assessed promptly to reduce property damage risk.

Can blocked drains cause damage to my property?

Yes, a blockage can cause damage because wastewater can overflow into cabinets, floors, wall cavities, or outdoors. Ongoing moisture can also lead to mould and deterioration of building materials. In severe cases, pressure and corrosion around the restriction can contribute to pipe failure. Early inspection and clearing is usually simpler than dealing with water damage after an overflow.

How often should I have my drains inspected and cleaned?

Many households book a yearly drain inspection and clean as preventative maintenance, particularly if the property has a history of blockages. The right schedule depends on what's causing the problem. If camera inspection shows root intrusion or pipe deterioration, you may need more frequent attention or a repair option. Fixed Today Plumbing can confirm the best approach after inspection in Lane Cove North.
