Looking for a Specific Type of Plumber in Maroubra?

Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains for Maroubra, NSW properties, with 24/7 emergency plumbing services and same-day service available for all standard plumbing and gas enquiries. For urgent overflows, we arrange immediate dispatch and allocate the nearest available properly licensed technician from our localised dispatch points across Sydney. Maroubra sits in Randwick City Council and access can differ between freestanding homes and strata apartments, so we confirm entry, parking, and the affected fixtures before pricing. Details for Maroubra are here.

Most drainage work starts with a detailed onsite assessment, because the right fix depends on what is actually in the pipe and where it is. We use specialised diagnostic tools such as high-definition drain inspection cameras, then explain what we've found in plain English. Next, we provide fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour) and a flat-rate quote with no hidden fees before we begin. After you approve the scope, the blockage is cleared or repaired, the line is tested, and the area is cleaned up. No call-out fee for many service areas (check specific suburb pages). If you're booking in Maroubra, ask our team to confirm whether a call-out fee applies for your address.

Fixed Today Plumbing is a family-owned and operated plumbing company with over 15+ years of service in the Sydney region, backed by a near-perfect 5-star rating based on 800+ verified customer reviews. Fixed Today Plumbing is duly licensed in NSW for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting, and all attending technicians are licensed plumbers in NSW. The business is comprehensively insured, with current insurance policies maintained (Public Liability and Workers Compensation). Public Liability insurance is there in case accidental property damage occurs during work, and Workers Compensation relates to workplace injuries on the job.

About Maroubra's Unique Plumbing Needs

Maroubra properties include a mix of charming federation homes and newer apartments, and that changes how drainage work is approached. Fixed Today Plumbing works across Maroubra and the surrounding Eastern Suburbs, and we plan around practical constraints like strata access, visitor parking, and where inspection openings and service points are located. This is especially relevant around higher-density pockets near Maroubra Junction, where access and unloading can take planning.

What typically happens is that the first signs look minor, then the blockage worsens quickly once the pipe starts restricting flow. Kitchen lines often choke up with grease and food residue, while shower and bathroom drains commonly collect hair and soap build-up. And in older sections of pipework, we sometimes find the restriction is linked to tree roots or a damaged section that will not stay clear until it's repaired. If inspection shows structural issues, options like structural pipe repair or pipe relining are explained and quoted once scope is clarified.

Pricing is kept straightforward because the cost mainly depends on access, how far into the line the restriction is, and whether the pipe is simply blocked or also damaged. We provide a fixed-price quote before work starts, and quotes are valid for one month from the date issued. If you're unsure whether the issue is in your lot or common property in Randwick City Council strata buildings, tell us what type of building it is and we can book the right technician and documentation for your situation.

Fixed pricing, confirmed before we start

A blocked drain price changes with scope, access, and what the inspection shows, so the job is priced after the cause is confirmed onsite. Fixed Today Plumbing provides fixed, clear pricing and a fixed-price quote with no hidden fees before starting work, backed by our Fixed Price Guarantee (the price quoted is the price paid). If you need paperwork for a landlord, strata, or an agent, we can provide receipts and invoices suitable for records.

Reviews that reflect consistent outcomes

Fixed Today Plumbing has a near-perfect 5-star rating based on 800+ verified customer reviews, which matters because drainage work should be verified, not guessed. We've been operating in Sydney for over 15+ years, and that experience shows up in practical habits like clear explanations, tidy work areas, and testing flow after a drain is cleared.

Emergency support with clear arrival updates

For urgent problems, Fixed Today Plumbing offers 24/7 emergency services for residential and commercial clients and immediate dispatch for emergencies. We allocate the nearest available licensed technician from our localised dispatch points across Sydney, and we provide clear arrival communication, including ETA updates where possible. Arrival timing still depends on current bookings, traffic, and access arrangements at the property.

Licensed, insured, and accountable for workmanship

Fixed Today Plumbing holds NSW Licensed Plumber, Drainer & Gasfitter - 305428C (ABN: 49 147 237 741) and the business is fully insured, with valid insurance policies maintained (Public Liability and Workers Compensation). That matters if something goes wrong, and it also means regulated work is completed by appropriately licensed people. We back workmanship with a Lifetime Labour Warranty on all workmanship.

Blocked Drains

A drain that keeps backing up in Maroubra usually means there's a restriction in the line that needs to be located and removed, not just pushed further along. Fixed Today Plumbing clears typical internal and external blockages in reachable pipes, then checks flow and function before leaving. If inspection shows the pipe is cracked, root-invaded, or collapsed, we explain the repair options and confirm scope before any additional work proceeds.

Blocked drains are more than a nuisance because restricted wastewater can overflow, damage finishes, and create hygiene issues. On first inspection, the early warning signs are often slow drainage, gurgling, or smells, then the problem escalates to water backing up when another fixture is used.

Some common culprits behind blocked drains in Maroubra include:

  • Grease and food residue setting inside kitchen waste lines
  • Hair and soap build-up in showers and basins
  • Foreign objects entering the toilet line
  • Leaves and debris entering external drains

Once diagnosed and quoted, we use the least disruptive method suited to the pipe condition. In many cases this involves high-pressure water jetting to clear the obstruction, followed by verification that the line is running freely. Where a camera inspection shows damage rather than a simple blockage, structural pipe repair or no-dig relining can be a better long-term fix than repeated clearing.

If you want the cause confirmed before committing to any repair, a quick call is enough to arrange an assessment and get a fixed-price quote once the scope is clear.

Burst Pipe Repairs

When a pipe bursts at a Maroubra property, the priority is making it safe and stopping water damage, then repairing the failed section to a standard that can be tested. Fixed Today Plumbing provides burst pipe repairs with 24/7 emergency availability, and urgent jobs receive immediate dispatch. If the burst is hidden behind walls, under floors, or in the yard, we locate it first, then quote once the affected area and access are confirmed.

From the work we see across Sydney, a common scenario is a leak that starts quietly, then escalates once pressure changes or a weakened joint gives way. We use electronic ultrasonic leak detection for hidden bursts and carry premium parts in fully stocked mobile workshops so common repairs can be completed without delays.

No-Dig Pipe Relining is also available for situations where inspection shows the pipe can be lined rather than dug up. That approach repairs the inside of the pipe with minimal disruption, but suitability depends on what the inspection shows.

Watch out for these signs of a broken pipe:

  • A sudden drop in water pressure
  • Unexpected damp patches or water pooling
  • Repeated leaks in the same area
  • Unusual water sounds when taps are off

If water is actively leaking, minimise use of the affected fixtures and arrange an urgent assessment so the leak can be isolated and repaired correctly.

Emergency Blocked Drains

A sewer or drain overflow is stressful, and the goal is to restore safe flow quickly while preventing further damage. Fixed Today Plumbing provides emergency drain blockage support in Maroubra with 24/7 emergency plumbing services for residential and commercial clients and immediate dispatch for emergencies. This covers urgent blockages in accessible lines, and if the first inspection shows a deeper issue like pipe damage, options are explained and quoted once the scope is clarified.

While you're waiting for the plumber, it's usually safest to limit water use to reduce the chance of overflow, then keep people and pets away from affected areas. We can also provide brief safety-first guidance by phone to reduce harm while the plumber is on the way, without asking you to diagnose the fault.

A pattern we notice is that emergencies in apartment buildings often involve access delays rather than the plumbing itself, such as locked car parks or needing approval to enter common areas. If you're in a strata building in Randwick City Council, letting us know about entry instructions and parking early helps us plan arrival and get straight to the inspection.

After confirming the cause, we provide a fixed-price quote before work starts and confirm inclusions and exclusions in the quote before proceeding. We also test and verify outcomes before leaving, and technicians are uniform-wearing, respectful, and committed to leaving work areas clean/tidy.

Gas Plumbers

Gas work in Maroubra should be handled by a duly licensed gas fitter because faults can create fire and health risks. Fixed Today Plumbing provides licensed gas fitting across Sydney, including Maroubra, for leak location, repairs, and new gas connections. This starts with an onsite assessment so the system and appliance connection points can be checked before any work is priced or carried out.

We handle regulated gas work as NSW Licensed Plumber, Drainer & Gasfitter - 305428C, and work is completed to applicable Australian Standards and safety requirements. Where required, compliance documentation is provided for regulated work. If the job involves a new appliance or altered pipework, the installation is checked and tested before the system is put back into service.

If you can smell gas or suspect a leak, arrange an urgent assessment. Our team operates 24/7 for emergencies, and we provide ETA updates where possible so you know what to expect while you're waiting.

Hot Water Servicing

Hot water servicing in Maroubra usually involves diagnosing whether the problem is the unit itself, the valves, or the supply feeding it, then confirming the right repair or replacement. Fixed Today Plumbing installs, repairs, and maintains hot water systems across Sydney, and same-day service is available for standard enquiries. If the system has failed completely, 24/7 emergency availability is also available.

On first inspection, the most useful information is what type of system you have and where it's installed, because access can change the time on site and the parts required. We work with major brands commonly seen in Sydney homes, including:

  • Rheem
  • Dux
  • Vulcan
  • Aquamax
  • Thermann

Once the issue is confirmed, we quote before we start and explain what's included. If a replacement is needed, the new unit is installed to meet Australian Standards and verified for safe operation prior to leaving, with tidy clean-up at the end of the job.

Contact your local Maroubra plumbers

Booking a properly NSW-licensed plumber for Maroubra is usually the quickest way to stop repeated blockages and confirm whether a drain needs clearing, repair, or longer-term work. Fixed Today Plumbing services Maroubra with immediate dispatch for emergencies and same day service available for standard plumbing and gas enquiries. Once onsite scope is defined, we provide fixed, transparent pricing so you can make a decision with the full picture.

For arrival and safety, staff identity is confirmed on arrival, and technicians can identify themselves before entry. We explain what we are doing before starting, confirm access permissions at the door, and take reasonable care around finished surfaces such as stone benchtops, tiled bathrooms, and timber floors. Where appropriate, we use drop sheets or protective covers, and we clean up the work area at the end of the job and remove debris generated by the work.

Pricing is kept clear: Fixed Today Plumbing provides a fixed-price quote before we begin, backed by our Fixed Price Guarantee (the price quoted is the price paid), and quotes are valid for one month from the date issued. No call-out fee for many service areas (check specific suburb pages), so when booking for Maroubra it's worth confirming whether a call-out fee applies at your address. Workmanship is backed by a Lifetime Labour Warranty on all workmanship, which covers the labour component of what we install or repair, and hardware is backed by standard manufacturer warranties on all hardware and appliances. To book, call 1800 349 338 or email jobs@fixedtoday.com.au. Payment can be made by all major Credit Cards (Visa, Mastercard). You can also mention web55 for $55 off (limited to 1 per person/paying jobs).

Blocked Drain FAQ's in Maroubra

These answers cover what Maroubra residents typically ask about blockages, pricing, and what happens on the first visit. If the drain is overflowing or affecting multiple fixtures, treat it as urgent and book an assessment.

What usually causes blocked drains in Maroubra homes?

Blocked drains in Maroubra are commonly caused by build-up inside the pipe, such as kitchen grease, bathroom hair and soap residue, or foreign objects that should not be flushed. In properties with older pipework, tree roots and cracked sections can also contribute. The exact cause is confirmed with an onsite inspection before any repair is quoted.

Do you service apartment and strata buildings in Maroubra?

Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing works in Maroubra apartments and strata buildings, but access conditions can affect arrival and time on site. If the issue may involve common property, we can coordinate with strata or a property manager and provide suitable documentation. Scope is confirmed onsite first, then a fixed-price quote is provided before work begins.

What should I do if my drain is blocked and starting to back up?

If a drain is backing up, it is usually safest to limit water use to reduce overflow risk, then arrange a fully licensed NSW plumber to assess it. Blockages can worsen quickly once the line is restricted, and overflow can damage floors and cabinets. Fixed Today Plumbing can confirm the cause onsite and provide a fixed-price quote once the scope is clear.

Are chemical drain cleaners a good idea for blocked drains?

Chemical drain cleaners can create problems because harsh chemicals may damage some pipe materials and make later repairs messier. They also rarely address underlying issues like roots or damaged sections. A professional inspection is safer when the blockage keeps returning or multiple fixtures are affected. Once the cause is confirmed, the right clearing method can be quoted and completed.

How do you clear blocked drains?

Fixed Today Plumbing typically clears blocked drains by first locating the restriction, then using an appropriate clearing method for the pipe condition. This may involve CCTV drain inspection and high-pressure jetting to remove debris and build-up. If the inspection shows structural damage, repair options are explained and quoted once the scope is defined.

What are the warning signs that a blockage is in the main sewer line?

A main sewer blockage is more likely when multiple fixtures are affected, such as toilets and showers backing up around the same time. Strong sewer odours and repeated overflow can also indicate a deeper restriction. The exact location still needs onsite confirmation because symptoms can overlap with local branch line issues. An inspection is the safest way to confirm scope and price.

Can a blocked drain cause property damage?

Yes, blocked drains can cause property damage if wastewater overflows into bathrooms, laundries, or kitchens. Moisture can damage cabinetry and floor finishes, and repeated pressure against a restriction can contribute to pipe failure over time. The risk is higher when the drain is slow across multiple fixtures or starts backing up, so prompt assessment helps limit damage.

How often should drains be inspected or maintained?

Many households organise periodic checks when they have a history of blockages, older pipework, or recurring smells and slow drainage. For some homes, an inspection about once a year is enough, while others only need it when symptoms appear. The right interval depends on usage, pipe condition, and whether the last inspection found early signs of damage.
