Looking for a Specific Type of Plumber in Minto?

Blocked drains in Campbelltown and Minto usually need a proper inspection because the visible symptom (slow flow or an overflow) is often not where the restriction sits. Fixed Today Plumbing attends Minto with licensed NSW plumbers and drainers, and we use tools like CCTV drain cameras and high-pressure water jetting to find the cause and clear it. This covers most household and small commercial drains that are accessible, and if the inspection shows damaged pipework, the options are explained and quoted once the scope is agreed.

A pattern we notice is that a blockage that "comes and goes" is often partly cleared debris, grease build-up, or tree root intrusion that has not been removed from the pipe walls. That is why many jobs start with a camera inspection to confirm what is actually in the line, and where it is, before deciding on the clearing method. Access matters too. Some Minto properties have inspection openings in side yards or near the boundary, so we confirm the safest access point on arrival before setting up.

For Minto customers, the drainage and plumbing work we are commonly booked for includes:

  • Blocked drain clearing for sinks, showers and floor wastes
  • CCTV drain inspections to locate the cause and position of a blockage
  • Blocked sewer and overflow investigations
  • High-pressure water jetting to scour debris and grease
  • Tree root intrusions in sewer lines (assessment and removal)
  • Stormwater drain unblocking where accessible
  • Structural pipe repair options, including relining where suitable

Fixed Today works on everyday problems like a blocked shower or a kitchen sink blockage without guessing or pushing you into decisions upfront. Once the affected drain is assessed, 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. There is no call-out fee for many service areas (check specific suburb pages), so when booking for Minto, ask the team to confirm whether a call-out fee applies. Customers can also save $55 off for customers mentioning "web55" (limited to 1 per person/paying jobs).

Drainage Solutions

Slow drains, gurgling, and sewer smells in a Minto property usually mean the pipe is restricted, and leaving it can lead to overflows that damage floors and cabinetry. Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains by confirming the blockage location, providing fixed, transparent pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), then completing the clearing or repair and testing flow before leaving. This approach covers typical external and internal drains that are accessible, and if the inspection shows a collapsed or broken line, the repair options are explained and quoted once the the scope is confirmed.

What typically happens is the obstruction is not fully removed by surface-level cleaning, so the line blocks again soon after. To avoid that cycle, our technicians use targeted diagnostics and cleaning methods that match what the camera shows, not guesswork.

  • High-pressure water jetting to clear debris, grease and roots
  • High-definition CCTV drain camera inspections to confirm the cause and location
  • Electric pipe locators where the drain path needs mapping before repair

Pricing depends on what is found on inspection, because access, blockage type, and whether the line is structurally damaged changes the scope. Once the scope is established, the Fixed Price Guarantee means the price quoted is the price paid, and there are no hidden costs. Work is backed by a Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship, and any new parts or fixtures keep their standard manufacturer warranties.

Fixed, upfront pricing you can decide on

You receive fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour) once the onsite scope is confirmed on site, so you can make a clear decision before we start. 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, which helps when you need approval from a landlord or strata.

Established Sydney team with verified reviews

Fixed Today Plumbing is a family-owned and family-run plumbing company with over 15+ years of service in the Sydney region. The business holds a near-perfect 5-star rating based on 800+ verified customer reviews, which reflects consistent outcomes across a large volume of jobs. That history matters with drainage work, because the right fix depends on accurate diagnosis, not quick guesses.

Emergency support and realistic arrival expectations

24/7 Emergency support for residential and commercial clients is available, and emergencies are sent out first with immediate dispatch. For Minto, the attending plumber is allocated from localised dispatch points across Sydney, including the Ruse hub, so the technician often comes from nearby. An ETA is provided when booking, and we provide clear arrival communication, including ETA updates where possible.

Licensing, insurance, and in-home safety

Fixed Today Plumbing is fully licensed in NSW for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting, and all attending technicians are licensed plumbers (NSW). The business is adequately insured, with active insurance policies maintained (Public Liability and Workers Compensation). Public Liability insurance helps protect you if accidental property damage occurs during work, and Workers Compensation relates to workplace injuries on the job. Technicians arrive in uniform, confirm identity on arrival, and police checks and background checks are completed for technicians.

Burst Pipe Plumbers

A broken pipe at a Minto home is stressful because damage can spread quickly through walls, ceilings, and floors. Fixed Today Plumbing repairs burst pipes and investigates hidden leaks using specialised detection tools, then provides a fixed-fee quote once the scope is confirmed. This usually covers common domestic pipe failures in accessible areas, and if the pipe is underground or behind a finished surface, the approach is explained clearly before any further work proceeds.

On first inspection, a common situation we encounter is that the visible water is not directly above the break, because water can track along framing or through insulation. That is why leak detection is often used to narrow down the problem area before deciding whether repair, replacement, or no-dig relining is appropriate.

Be alert to signs that suggest a pipe issue needs urgent assessment, especially if the symptoms are new or getting worse:

  • An unexpected rise in water usage
  • Sudden drops in water pressure
  • Ongoing dampness or active leaking
  • Moist or wet patches on walls, ceilings, or floors

Fixed Today Plumbing also completes no-dig drain relining on suitable underground burst water pipes, which can reduce disruption where the existing pipe structure allows it. Once diagnosed and quoted, repairs are completed to applicable Australian Standards and backed by the Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship.

Your Emergency Drainage Plumber

A drain backing up is disruptive. Fixed Today Plumbing delivers 24/7 emergency assistance for domestic and commercial clients in Minto, with immediate dispatch for emergencies and same day service available for standard plumbing and gas enquiries. This covers urgent issues like sewage overflow risks and major blockages in accessible lines, and if inspection shows structural failure, the next-step options are explained and quoted once the scope is confirmed onsite.

Immediate dispatch means urgent jobs are sent out first, and the nearest available licensed plumber is allocated from our localised dispatch points across Sydney. For Minto, that can include the nearby Ruse hub, and arrival time still depends on current bookings and traffic. We provide clear arrival communication, including ETA updates where possible, so you are not left guessing.

Pricing can change in emergencies because the scope can change quickly once the area is made safe and the cause is confirmed. The key protection is that you receive fixed, upfront pricing before work starts, and any additional work is only quoted after the updated scope is explained.

If you are dealing with an overflow or active leak, limit use of the affected fixtures and arrange an urgent assessment. You do not need to diagnose it. The job is to stop further damage, restore function, and confirm what caused the failure so it does not repeat.

Gas Fitting

Gas fitting work in Minto should be handled by a licensed and fully insured gas fitter because faults can create fire, health, and appliance risks. Fixed Today Plumbing provides licensed gas fitting, including gas leak detection, repairs, new connections, and new gas points, and you receive a fixed-price quote once the scope is agreed. This covers standard domestic and commercial gas work, and where regulated documentation is required, compliance documentation is provided for regulated work.

From comparable work, the early signs customers mention are often a persistent gas smell around an appliance area, a pilot that will not stay lit, or appliances that begin burning differently. Any suspected leak needs a professional assessment so the system can be checked, repaired if required, and tested before being placed back into service.

Fixed Today Plumbing is fully insured, and that matters for gas work because it helps protect you if accidental property damage occurs during work. We also confirm staff identity on arrival, and technicians arrive in uniform and explain what they are doing before starting.

Hot Water Systems

No hot water at a Minto property usually comes down to a component failure, a leak, or a system that is no longer sized or set up for the household. Fixed Today Plumbing installs, repairs, and maintains hot water systems (gas, electric, and solar) and can attend urgently when there is an active leak or complete loss of hot water. This covers common residential setups, and if inspection shows the unit is at end of life, replacement options are explained and quoted once the scope is finalised.

A pattern we notice is that storage systems often show trouble first as inconsistent temperature, water that looks rusty, or a relief valve that starts discharging more than usual. Those signs can indicate internal corrosion or pressure issues, and delays can lead to tank failure and property damage.

Fixed Today Plumbing works with major brands including Rheem, Dux, and Rinnai, and installations keep their standard manufacturer warranties. Once diagnosed and quoted, work is completed to applicable Australian Standards, and workmanship is backed by the Lifetime Labour Warranty.

Blocked Drain FAQ's in Minto

What are the common causes of blocked drains in Minto?

Blocked drains in Minto are commonly caused by grease build-up in kitchen lines, debris and hair in bathroom wastes, and foreign items that should not be flushed. In practice, tree root intrusion is also a frequent cause once roots find moisture through small gaps in older pipe joints. The cause matters because it changes whether jetting, repair, or relining is the right next step.

How can I reduce the chance of drains blocking again?

You can reduce repeat blockages by keeping grease and food scraps out of sinks and avoiding flushing anything other than toilet paper and human waste. Drain guards can help catch hair and solids before they enter the line. If a drain blocks more than once, it usually needs professional inspection, because repeated symptoms can indicate a structural issue rather than simple debris.

What should I do if my drain is blocked right now?

If a drain is blocked in Minto, the safest first step is to stop using the affected fixture and book a licensed plumbing specialist (NSW) to assess it. Blockages can overflow without warning, especially if the restriction is in a main drain. Fixed Today Plumbing can confirm the cause onsite, explain what needs doing, and provide a fixed-price quote before work starts once the scope is defined.

Are chemical drain cleaners a good idea for blocked drains?

Chemical drain cleaners are generally not the preferred option because harsh chemicals can damage pipework and make later repairs harder, especially if the line is already weakened. They also do not address causes like tree roots or broken pipes. If the blockage is persistent, a professional inspection is the safer decision point, and the clearing method can be matched to what is actually in the line.

How do plumbers clear blocked drains professionally?

Professional drain unblocking usually involves locating the restriction first, then removing it using a method suited to the pipe and blockage type. Fixed Today Plumbing commonly uses high-pressure water jetting for debris, grease, and roots, and CCTV drain camera inspections to confirm the cause and location. If the camera shows structural damage, repair options are explained and quoted once the scope is verified.

What are the warning signs that a blockage is getting serious?

Warning signs of a serious blockage include wastewater backing up, repeated blockages in a short period, gurgling sounds from multiple fixtures, and strong sewer odours. These symptoms can indicate a main line restriction rather than a single fixture issue. If you notice overflow risk or sewage, it is treated as urgent so further property damage and hygiene risks are reduced.

Can blocked drains cause damage to a property?

Yes, blocked drains can damage a Minto property because overflows can soak floors, skirting, and cabinetry, and repeated wetting can contribute to mould. A restriction can also increase pressure in the line, which can aggravate weak joints and lead to leaks. Early assessment helps because the problem is usually cheaper and less disruptive before an overflow or structural failure occurs.

How often should drains be inspected or cleaned?

Drain inspection frequency depends on how the property is used and whether there is a history of repeat blockages. Homes that have had multiple blockages, known root intrusion, or older pipework often benefit from periodic CCTV inspection to confirm condition. A plumber can advise after the first assessment, because the camera results show whether maintenance cleaning is worthwhile or if a repair is the better long-term fix.
