Looking for a Specific Type of Plumber in Moorebank?

Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Moorebank, NSW, by finding the restriction, confirming the pipe condition, then removing the blockage using the least disruptive method for the line. We service all Sydney metropolitan areas and use localised dispatch points across Sydney, including West Sydney, to reach Moorebank for urgent and standard drainage work. Onsite conditions vary between homes, rentals, and industrial sites, so access and affected fixtures are confirmed before quoting.

For Moorebank jobs, the first visit is about getting clear answers. Our process is: diagnose the cause using the right tool (often drain inspection cameras for drain faults), provide a fixed-price quote before work starts, complete the repair or clearing to Australian Standards, then test and tidy the work area before leaving. If inspection shows structural damage rather than a simple obstruction, options are explained and scope is defined before any additional work proceeds.

Price surprises are a common worry with drainage work, especially when the problem is hidden. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), backed by a Fixed Price Guarantee. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued, so you can make a decision with the scope and price clearly stated. No hidden costs.

Licensing and insurance matter most when water or sewage can damage property. Fixed Today Plumbing is duly licensed in NSW for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting, and attending technicians are licensed plumbers in NSW. NSW Licensed Plumber, Drainer & Gasfitter - 305428C (ABN: 49 147 237 741). The business is properly insured, with active insurance policies maintained (Public Liability and Workers Compensation). Public Liability helps if accidental property damage occurs during work, and Workers Compensation relates to workplace injuries on the job.

Work is backed by a Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship. Hardware and appliances are covered by standard manufacturer warranties. If you are booking from a rental, strata, or a site with entry instructions, tell us up front. We can work around site access windows and provide receipts and invoices suitable for landlords, agents, and business records.

Call-out fees vary by area. There is no call-out fee for many service areas (check specific suburb pages), and it is worth confirming the call-out fee status for Moorebank when booking. If you mention "web55", there is $55 off for customers (limited to 1 per person/paying jobs).

Blocked Drains Problem

Blocked drains at a Moorebank property usually mean something is restricting flow in the line, and the longer it is left, the more likely it is to overflow or damage pipework. Fixed Today Plumbing clears blockages by confirming where the restriction is and what the pipe condition looks like first, then recommending the right clearing method for that line. This covers common internal and external drain blockages in accessible pipework, and deeper issues are quoted once the scope is verified onsite.

Slow draining, gurgling, and odours are common early signs. What typically happens is that a partial blockage holds debris, then the next heavy use tips it into a full backup. In practice, we see many jobs start as a single "slow" sink or shower, then quickly spread to a toilet or floor waste once the primary line begins to struggle.

Causes of blocked drains in Moorebank commonly include:

  • Grease and food residue building up in kitchen waste lines
  • Wet wipes, sanitary items, and other foreign objects blocking toilet and sewer lines
  • Tree roots entering older joints and trapping debris
  • Broken, sagging, or damaged pipe sections that repeatedly catch waste

On arrival, we often start with CCTV drain inspection equipment to see what is actually inside the pipe, then use high-pressure water jetting where suitable to clear and clean the line. If the camera shows a structural problem, the options can include targeted repair or drain blockage repairs such as structural pipe work, and the next step is confirmed and quoted before any extra work begins.

Cost depends on the depth and type of blockage, access to the inspection point, and whether the pipe is damaged. That is why we confirm the scope first and provide a fixed-price quote before work starts, so you can approve the work knowing the price is by the job.

Upfront pricing you can check before work starts

Fixed Today Plumbing offers fixed, clear pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour). The Fixed Price Guarantee means the price quoted is the price paid, and quotes are valid for one month from the date issued. If the inspection shows a different scope to what was described on booking, the options are explained and a revised fixed price is provided before anything changes.

Reviews and experience across Sydney

Fixed Today Plumbing is a family owned and operated plumbing company with over 15+ years of service in the Sydney region. The business has a near-perfect 5-star rating based on 800+ verified customer reviews. These jobs include recurring drainage problems where the cause is not obvious until the first inspection is completed.

24/7 emergency support and clear arrival communication

24/7 emergency plumbing services is available for residential and commercial clients, with immediate dispatch for emergencies and same-day service available for all standard plumbing and gas enquiries. The nearest available properly licensed technician is allocated from Sydney dispatch points, and we provide ETA updates where possible so you know what to expect before arrival.

Licensed, insured, and identity checks on arrival

All attending technicians are NSW-licensed plumbers and Fixed Today Plumbing is fully licensed in NSW for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting. The business is fully insured, with current insurance policies maintained (Public Liability and Workers Compensation). Staff identity is confirmed on arrival, and technicians can identify themselves before entry. Police checks and background checks are completed for technicians.

We Repair Burst Pipes

Burst pipes in Moorebank can cause rapid water damage because a pressurised line can release a large volume of water quickly. Fixed Today Plumbing repairs broken pipes and investigates the cause so the same section does not fail again. This includes visible bursts and hidden leaks where the source is not obvious, and repair options are confirmed and quoted once access and pipe condition are checked onsite.

Active leaks are stressful. The priority is to get a fully licensed NSW plumber onsite to make it safe and stop further damage. A pattern we notice is that customers first spot damp carpet, bubbling paint, or a sudden drop in pressure, then the leak becomes visible as the damaged section worsens.

Finding the source matters because repairing the wrong section wastes time and money. We use electronic ultrasonic leak detection for hidden bursts where a leak is suspected behind walls, under floors, or in the yard. Once the affected line is located and access is confirmed, the repair is completed to applicable Australian Standards and then tested before leaving.

Where underground water pipes are damaged but still structurally suitable, drain relining can be an option to repair from within the pipe without traditional excavation. If inspection shows a collapse or a section that cannot be relined, we explain the practical alternatives and confirm the scope before proceeding.

Pricing depends on access, the pipe material, and whether the leak is straightforward or concealed. You will receive a fixed-price quote before starting work, and the Fixed Price Guarantee applies to the approved scope. For emergencies, immediate dispatch applies, and we provide ETA updates where possible.

Emergency Drainage

Emergency drainage in Moorebank usually means there is sewage or stormwater backing up, an overflowing toilet, or a blocked main line that is affecting multiple fixtures. Fixed Today Plumbing provides 24/7 emergency services for domestic and commercial clients and uses immediate dispatch for emergencies, allocating the nearest available properly licensed technician from localised dispatch points across Sydney. If the inspection shows the issue is structural rather than a simple blockage, the options are explained and priced once the scope is established.

Sewage backups are disruptive and can create hygiene risks. Stop using the affected fixtures and keep children and pets away from any overflow until a plumber arrives. The goal on the first visit is to restore flow safely, then confirm what caused the failure so it does not repeat.

On first inspection, the cause is often clearer than expected once the line is viewed with CCTV or cleared with high-pressure water jetting. In Moorebank, access can vary between standard residential driveways, rentals with tight booking windows, and commercial or industrial sites with gates and sign-in procedures. If you share access details when booking, we can plan the right vehicle, tools, and entry process.

Cost is mainly affected by after-hours urgency, how far the blockage is from an access point, and whether debris clearing is enough or the pipe needs structural work. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing, so you see the job price before work starts. Payment can be made by all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard).

Gas Fitting

Gas fitting assistance in Moorebank should be completed by a licensed and insured gas fitter because gas leaks and unsafe connections can create immediate safety risks. Fixed Today Plumbing provides licensed gas fitting, appliance installation, and gas leak detection and repair across Sydney, with same-day service available for standard enquiries and immediate dispatch for emergencies. Where regulated gas work requires documentation, the required paperwork is provided on completion.

We provide inclusive gas services, comprising:

  • Critical gas repairs
  • Main gas line connections
  • New gas points installation
  • Repairs of gas leaks

For safety, gas work involves more than swapping a fitting. In gas work, it is standard practice to confirm the scope, complete the repair or connection correctly, then test the system before it is recommissioned. If an inspection finds the issue is not at the appliance but further back in the line, the options are explained and quoted once the scope is agreed.

Price depends on access to the line, the number of connection points involved, and whether the work is a repair or a new installation. Fixed Today Plumbing provides a fixed-price quote before we begin, so you can approve the job knowing the price is by the job.

Hot Water Problems

Hot water problems in Moorebank usually come down to a failing unit, an electrical or gas supply fault, or safety valves that are not operating correctly. Fixed Today Plumbing installs, repairs, and maintains hot water supply systems (gas, electric, and solar) across Sydney, with same-day service available for standard enquiries and 24/7 Emergency support when there is an urgent loss of hot water or a leak from the unit. The correct option is confirmed after an onsite assessment.

Some faults are obvious, like water pooling around the tank. Others are slower, such as fluctuating temperatures or reduced flow. From similar call-outs, we often find that customers notice the issue at peak times, then it becomes more frequent as the unit struggles to recover.

Hot water repairs and installations need to meet safety requirements. In plumbing, it is typical to confirm the existing unit type, check valves and connections, then verify safe operation after the replacement or repair. If the system type or location makes the job more complex, the scope is explained and priced before work starts.

We come versed in working with notable brands like Rheem, Dux, Vulcan, Aquamax, and Thermann. If you are unsure what system you have, we can identify it onsite and provide a fixed-fee quote based on the confirmed scope.

Contact Our Team

Booking a plumber for Moorebank is simplest when the visit is treated as a confirm-and-quote appointment, not a guess over the phone. Fixed Today Plumbing confirms the affected fixture or area onsite, explains what has been found in plain English, then provides fixed, clear pricing before work starts. If the findings change the scope, the options are discussed and priced before anything proceeds.

Arrival and safety matter when you are letting someone into your home or workplace. Technicians arrive in uniform, staff identity is confirmed on arrival, and technicians can identify themselves before entry. Police checks and background checks are completed for technicians, and we can accommodate safety sensitive requests when they are disclosed at booking.

We also take practical steps to protect the property during the job. Drop sheets or protective covers are used where needed, boot covers or clean shoe covers are worn in homes when requested or when conditions require it, and the work area is cleaned up at the end. If you have premium finishes such as stone benchtops or tiled bathrooms, tell us before we start so we can isolate the area and minimise mess.

To book, call 1800 349 338 or email jobs@fixedtoday.com.au. If you mention "web55", there is $55 off for customers (limited to 1 per person/paying jobs). If you are unsure whether the job is urgent, a quick call is enough for us to confirm urgency and book the right technician.

Blocked Drain FAQ's in Moorebank

What are the common causes of blocked drains?

Blocked drains in Moorebank are commonly caused by grease build-up in kitchen lines, foreign objects in toilets, and debris accumulating in waste pipes. Tree roots can also enter older joints and trap waste. The cause matters because clearing a blockage is different to fixing a damaged pipe, and the best option is confirmed after an onsite inspection.

How can I prevent my drains from getting blocked?

You can reduce the chance of blockages by keeping grease and food scraps out of sinks and only flushing toilet paper and human waste. Drain strainers in showers and basins also help by catching hair and soap residue before it enters the pipe. If a drain starts slowing down repeatedly, it usually needs a professional inspection to find the underlying cause.

What should I do if my drain is blocked?

If a drain is blocked in Moorebank, the safest immediate step is to limit use of the affected fixtures to reduce the chance of overflow, then book a licensed, insured plumber to assess it. Fixed Today Plumbing will confirm the cause onsite, explain what is happening, and provide a fixed-price quote before we begin. If the pipe is damaged, options are discussed once scope is finalised.

Can I use chemical drain cleaners to unblock my drains?

Chemical drain cleaners are not usually recommended because they can damage some pipe materials and make later repairs harder if the blockage persists. They also do not fix broken or root-invaded lines. If a blockage is recurring or causing backups, a professional inspection is the safer way to confirm what is inside the pipe and choose an appropriate clearing method.

How do plumbers clear blocked drains?

Plumbers typically clear blocked drains by first confirming what is causing the restriction, then using a suitable method to remove it. This often involves CCTV inspection to locate the blockage and high-pressure jetting to clear debris and scour pipe walls. If inspection shows structural failure, clearing alone may not last, and repair costs given once scope is defined.

What are the signs of a drain blockage?

Common signs of a blocked drain include slow draining fixtures, gurgling sounds, unpleasant odours, and water backing up in sinks, showers, or toilets. If multiple fixtures are affected at once, it can indicate a main line issue. Early assessment helps because continued use can lead to overflow, property damage, and more complex repair work.

Can blocked drains cause damage to my property?

Yes, blocked drains can cause property damage when wastewater overflows or leaks into floors, walls, or gardens. Ongoing restriction can also put extra pressure on pipe joints and may contribute to failures in older or already weakened pipework. The practical approach is to restore flow, then confirm what caused the blockage so it does not keep returning.

How often should I have my drains inspected and cleaned?

Drain inspection frequency depends on how often you have slow drains or repeat blockages, and whether the property has older pipework or tree roots near sewer lines. Some homes only need attention when symptoms appear, while others benefit from periodic checks. A camera inspection is a common way to confirm condition, and any repair or clearing is quoted after scope is established onsite.
