Looking for a Specific Type of Plumber in Loftus?

Fixed Today Plumbing provides blocked drain clearing and general plumbing in Loftus (Sutherland Shire), with immediate dispatch for emergencies and same-day service available for standard enquiries. Our team is Sydney-based with localised dispatch points across Sydney, including West Sydney, Dolans Bay, and Ruse, so the attending technician is usually allocated from the nearest available crew. Onsite conditions in Loftus vary by property type and access, so we confirm entry, parking, and the affected fixtures before finalising the plan.

A blocked drain is treated as a locate-and-fix job, because clearing the symptom without confirming the cause often leads to repeat callouts. Our usual process is: diagnose with specialised tools such as high-definition drain inspection cameras and pipe locating equipment where suitable, confirm what is blocked and where, then provide a flat-rate quote before work starts. Once approved, the drain is cleared (often with high-pressure water jetting), then the result is verified and the work area is left clean and tidy.

Price depends on what the inspection finds, since access, the type of obstruction, the condition of the line, and any required parts all affect scope. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), backed by a Fixed Price Guarantee, and quotes are valid for one month from the date issued. For call-out fees, there is no call-out fee for many service areas (check specific suburb pages), and it is worth confirming the Loftus call-out status when booking.

Fixed Today Plumbing is a family-owned and family-run plumbing company with over 15+ years of service in the Sydney region and a near-perfect 5-star rating based on 800+ verified customer reviews. All attending technicians are licensed plumbers (NSW), and the business is properly insured (Public Liability and Workers Compensation). Public Liability insurance is there to help if accidental property damage occurs during the work, and Workers Compensation relates to workplace injuries on the job.

Local Loftus Plumbing Expertise

Plumbing work in Loftus usually comes down to two things: stopping damage fast, and making sure the fix matches what is actually happening in the pipework. Fixed Today Plumbing services Loftus and the wider Sydney metro area, handling drainage faults, water leaks, hot water breakdowns, and gas work. This covers most domestic and commercial plumbing issues that can be assessed onsite; if the inspection shows hidden damage, the options are explained and quoted once the scope is clarified.

A pattern we notice is that people often call after a "small" symptom has been hanging around for weeks, like slow draining at the kitchen sink or a shower that starts pooling on the floor. If you need help with drainage beyond the house, we also handle stormwater drains and related overflow problems.

For Loftus bookings, tell us what is happening and whether there are access limits, such as a locked side gate, tight driveway access, or strata rules. That information helps allocate the right technician and provide clearer arrival updates. If you are looking for broader help, you can also view our Loftus plumbers page.

Fixed, upfront pricing

Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour). After the onsite assessment confirms scope, you receive a fixed-price quote before work starts, backed by the Fixed Price Guarantee. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued, and there are no hidden costs.

Customer reviews and longevity

Fixed Today Plumbing is a family-owned and operated plumbing company with over 15+ years of service in the Sydney region and a near-perfect 5-star rating based on 800+ verified customer reviews. That track record matters most on jobs where the cause is not obvious until the line is inspected.

Emergency availability and job allocation

For drainage emergencies, Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch, and for standard plumbing and gas enquiries, service the same day is available. With local dispatch locations across Sydney, the attending technician is typically allocated from the nearest available team, and ETA updates are provided where possible.

Licensed and insured in NSW

Fixed Today Plumbing is properly licensed in NSW for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting (NSW Licensed Plumber, Drainer & Gasfitter - 305428C). The business is fully insured, with current insurance policies maintained (Public Liability and Workers Compensation), which helps protect you if accidental damage occurs during the work.

Blocked Drains Problem

Blocked drains in Loftus usually mean something has restricted flow inside a waste pipe or sewer line, and the backup will keep getting worse until the restriction is removed. Fixed Today Plumbing clears blockages in sinks, toilets, showers, and external drainage, using camera inspection and high-pressure jetting where suitable. This covers typical accessible lines; if inspection shows a collapsed or broken pipe, repair options are explained and quoted once scope is verified.

In plumbing, the cause is often just as important as the symptom. Grease buildup can narrow kitchen lines over time, and foreign objects can jam toilet bends. In established areas, tree roots can also enter small cracks and keep catching debris. Left unresolved, a blockage can lead to overflows, bad odours, and water damage.

What typically happens is the first sign is slow draining, then you start to hear gurgling, and eventually a low point overflows, often the shower or floor waste. That is why we focus on confirming the location and type of blockage before clearing, not just pushing water through it.

Depending on what we find, drain blockage work may involve:

  • High-pressure water jetting to scour debris and restore flow
  • CCTV drain inspection to confirm the blockage type and exact position
  • Structural repair options such as no-dig drain relining when a damaged pipe is the underlying cause

Once the drain is flowing again, the outcome is checked before we leave. If the inspection indicates the problem is structural rather than a simple obstruction, you will be walked through the next steps and pricing before any additional work proceeds.

Burst Pipe Plumbers

A broken pipe at a Loftus property is urgent because ongoing water release can damage floors, walls, and electrical areas quickly. Fixed Today Plumbing attends broken pipe jobs across Sydney with 24/7 emergency assistance for domestic and commercial clients, and immediate dispatch for emergencies. This includes locating the leak and carrying out a compliant repair; if the pipe is damaged in multiple places, repair options are explained once the extent is confirmed.

On first inspection, hidden leaks often show up as damp patches, unexplained water use, or a sudden drop in pressure. Fixed Today Plumbing can use electronic ultrasonic leak detection to help locate concealed bursts, which reduces unnecessary disruption when the leak is behind a wall or under a slab.

Where an underground line is damaged, no-dig drain relining may be an option in some situations, since it can repair the pipe internally without full excavation. Following our standard quoting approach, a fixed-price quote is provided after the scope is established and before work starts.

It is worth booking a licensed, insured plumber promptly if you notice:

  • Recurring water leaks that are getting worse
  • Unexpected declines in water pressure
  • Damp patches on walls, ceilings, or floors
  • Unusual hikes in water usage

Technicians arrive in uniform and confirm identity on arrival before entry. Police checks and background checks are completed for technicians, which helps when you need to let someone into an occupied home during a stressful situation.

Emergency Drainage

Emergency drainage is required when a blockage or sewer issue is actively backing up, overflowing, or creating a hygiene risk at a Loftus property. Fixed Today Plumbing provides 24/7 emergency assistance for domestic and commercial clients, with immediate dispatch for emergencies. This covers urgent drain clearing and stabilisation; if inspection shows structural damage, the repair options are explained and quoted once the scope is established.

A drain backup is disruptive. The aim is to stop damage, restore flow where possible, and confirm what caused the failure so it does not keep recurring.

Fixed Today Plumbing operates with localised dispatch points across Sydney, including Dolans Bay, Ruse, and West Sydney, which helps allocate the nearest available technician. Arrival timing depends on current bookings and traffic, and we provide clear arrival communication, including ETA updates where possible.

When you contact our emergency plumbing team, the visit typically includes:

  • Onsite assessment to confirm which fixtures are affected and where the line is restricted
  • Clear explanation of findings in plain English before work starts
  • Fixed, clear pricing so you can decide once scope is established
  • Testing and verification before we leave, plus a tidy work area

If access in Loftus is restricted by gates, narrow driveways, or strata booking windows, mention it upfront. It helps the job run smoother, and it can affect how quickly equipment can be set up onsite.

Gas Fitting

Gas fitting assistance in Loftus should be completed by a fully licensed and insured gas fitter, because unsafe gas work can create a fire and health risk. Fixed Today Plumbing is duly licensed in NSW for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting (NSW Licensed Plumber, Drainer & Gasfitter - 305428C). This covers common gas appliance connections and leak testing; where regulated work requires documentation, compliance paperwork is provided.

From similar visits, a common call is a suspected gas leak or an appliance that is not operating correctly. Gas work is not an area for guesswork, so the focus is on confirming the issue and making the installation safe before the system is put back into service.

Pricing is handled the same way as our other services. Once the scope is confirmed on site onsite, you receive a fixed-price quote before work starts, and the price quoted is the price paid under the Fixed Price Guarantee.

Hot Water Problems

Hot water problems in Loftus range from no hot water at all through to temperature swings or a leaking storage tank, and the right fix depends on the system type and what has failed. Fixed Today Plumbing repairs, replaces, and installs hot water units across Sydney, with immediate dispatch available for emergencies and same-day service available for standard enquiries. This includes diagnosis and replacement recommendations; final options depend on what is confirmed onsite.

In practice, the earliest warning sign is often inconsistent temperature at the shower, or rust-coloured water that shows up first thing in the morning. Those symptoms can indicate internal corrosion or component wear, which can progress into a leak.

We work on common system types, including:

  • Electric hot water systems
  • Gas-powered hot water systems
  • Instantaneous hot water supply systems

Fixed Today Plumbing services and installs major brands such as Rheem, Dux, and Rinnai, along with other common units found in Sydney homes. Once the unit and installation requirements are checked, a flat-rate quote is provided before any replacement or repair work begins.

Payment can be made by all major Credit Cards (Visa, Mastercard), and invoices and receipts are provided for landlords, agents, and business records.

If you are unsure whether it is urgent, a quick call can confirm whether the situation needs immediate attention. And if you are booking from Loftus with access limits, such as a narrow driveway, restricted parking, or strata time windows, mention it early so we can plan around it.

Call-out fees vary by area. There is no call-out fee for many service areas (check specific suburb pages), so it is best to confirm the Loftus call-out status when you book. Customers mentioning "web55" can also receive $55 off (limited to 1 per person/paying jobs).

All workmanship is backed by a Lifetime Labour Warranty, and installed hardware and appliances are covered by standard manufacturer warranties. A Lifetime Labour Warranty covers the labour component of the work we complete, while manufacturer warranties apply to the product itself.

Blocked Drain FAQ's in Loftus

What are the common causes of blocked drains?

Blocked drains in Loftus are most often caused by a build-up of material that should not be in the line, such as grease in kitchen pipes, soap residue and hair in bathroom wastes, or foreign objects in toilets. In established parts of Sydney, tree roots can also enter small cracks in older pipes. The exact cause is confirmed onsite, often with CCTV inspection.

How can I prevent my drains from getting blocked?

You can reduce the risk of blocked drains by keeping grease, food scraps, and wet wipes out of the plumbing system, and by using simple strainers where practical. Prevention is not foolproof, especially if the issue is tree roots or a damaged pipe. If blockages keep returning at a Loftus property, an inspection is the fastest way to confirm the cause and plan a lasting fix.

What should I do if my drain is blocked?

If a drain is blocked, limiting use of the affected fixture helps reduce the chance of overflow and water damage, especially if a toilet or floor waste is backing up. Persistent or recurring blockages should be assessed by a licensed drainer, because the cause can be structural. Fixed Today Plumbing can locate the restriction and provide a fixed-price quote prior to clearing once scope is confirmed.

Can I use chemical drain cleaners to unblock my drains?

Chemical drain cleaners are not recommended as a routine solution because they can be harsh on pipes and may not address the underlying cause of a blockage. They can also create hazards for anyone who later needs to open the line. If a Loftus drain is slow or backing up, a professional assessment is safer, and the clearing method is chosen based on the pipe condition and blockage type.

How do plumbers clear blocked drains?

Plumbers clear blocked drains by first confirming where the restriction is and what is causing it, then removing it using an appropriate method for the pipework. Common professional tools include CCTV drain cameras for inspection and high-pressure water jetting to clear debris and scour the pipe walls. If the inspection shows damaged pipework, repair options are explained and quoted once scope is verified.

What are the signs of a blocked drain?

Signs of a drain blockage include slow draining water, gurgling noises after a fixture is used, unpleasant odours, and water backing up in sinks, showers, or toilets. A single slow fixture can be a local blockage, while multiple fixtures backing up can indicate a larger restriction. If sewage is involved or overflow is likely, it should be treated as urgent and booked in for assessment.

Can blocked drains cause damage to my property?

Yes, blocked drains can cause property damage because wastewater has nowhere to go and may overflow into bathrooms, laundries, or external areas. That can lead to water damage, mould growth, and hygiene risks. In some cases, pressure can also stress weakened pipe joints. Early assessment and clearing reduces the chance of spread, and an inspection can confirm if pipe damage is contributing.

How often should I have my drains inspected and cleaned?

Most properties only need drain inspection when there are symptoms, or when blockages keep recurring, because the right schedule depends on pipe condition and surrounding factors. Homes with repeated blockages may benefit from a CCTV inspection to confirm whether the issue is grease buildup, root intrusion, or a broken line. After an onsite assessment in Loftus, the best maintenance interval can be recommended based on findings.
