Looking for a Specific Type of Plumber in Naremburn?

Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains for homes and businesses in Naremburn (Willoughby City) using a diagnose-first approach, then fixed, upfront pricing once the scope is confirmed. We dispatch across Sydney from localised dispatch points, including West Sydney, Dolans Bay, and Ruse, so urgent jobs can be sent out immediately. Onsite conditions in Naremburn vary by property type and access, so we confirm entry, affected fixtures, and where the line runs before finalising the quote.

Blocked drains are disruptive because the problem often sits out of sight, but the consequences show up fast, slow drainage, gurgling, odours, or water backing up into a shower or floor waste. What typically happens is a partial restriction turns into a full blockage once more debris catches on it. That is why the first visit focuses on finding the cause, not just pushing water through.

Our standard service process is straightforward: we carry out a detailed onsite assessment using specialised diagnostic tools (including CCTV drain cameras and pipe locating equipment), confirm what has caused the restriction and where it is, then provide a flat-rate quote with no hidden fees before work starts. Once approved, the drain is cleared or repaired to meet Australian Standards, the system is tested, and the work area is cleaned up before leaving.

  • Clearing internal and external drain blockages (sinks, showers, toilets and floor wastes)
  • CCTV drain inspections to pinpoint the location and cause of a blockage
  • High-pressure water jetting to remove built-up debris and restore flow
  • Structural pipe repair options, including pipe relining, when inspection shows damage
  • Help with related issues like blocked shower drains and blocked sewer drains

Price is usually driven by access, how far the blockage is from an entry point, whether the pipework is damaged, and what parts are needed. Fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour) makes that easier to understand because the job is scoped first. No hidden costs; quotes are valid for one month from the date issued.

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

Drain unblocking services

Drain unblocking in Naremburn starts with confirming where the restriction is and what is causing it, because the right fix depends on whether it is a build-up, a foreign object, or pipe damage. This service covers most common household blockages in accessible lines. If a CCTV check shows broken pipework or a collapsed section, the repair options are explained and quoted once scope is agreed.

A common situation we encounter is that the first symptoms look minor, a sink that drains slowly or a shower that pools for a few minutes. Then a second fixture starts gurgling and the problem becomes urgent. That pattern usually means the line is progressively restricting, not improving on its own.

Blocked drains are often caused by everyday build-up or an obstruction that catches more debris over time. In plumbing, common causes include grease and food waste in kitchen lines, hair and soap residue in bathroom lines, foreign objects, and tree roots entering damaged underground pipes.

  • Kitchen lines restricted by grease build-up and food scraps
  • Bathroom drains collecting hair and soap scum
  • Foreign objects lodged in the pipe
  • Root intrusion in damaged underground drains

Fixed Today Plumbing uses CCTV drain inspections and hydro jetting to clear blockages thoroughly and confirm the line is flowing again. Once the cause is identified and the scope is clear, you receive a fixed-fee quote before any clearing or repair work begins, and the work is checked before the technician packs up.

Upfront, fixed job pricing

A blocked drain can be simple or it can involve damaged pipework, so cost depends on scope, access, parts and urgency. Fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour) means the drain is assessed first and a fixed-price quote is provided before we start. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued, and it is worth confirming call-out arrangements when booking.

Reviews, history, and accountability

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. Work is backed by a Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship, plus standard manufacturer warranties on hardware and appliances.

24/7 emergencies with clear arrival updates

24/7 emergency plumbing services for domestic and commercial clients is available, and emergencies are dispatched immediately. Fixed Today Plumbing uses localised dispatch points across Sydney to allocate the nearest available licensed field technician where possible. We provide clear arrival communication, including ETA updates where possible, and timing depends on current bookings and traffic conditions.

Licensed and insured for drainage work

All attending technicians are licensed and insured plumbers in NSW, and Fixed Today Plumbing is properly licensed in NSW for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting (NSW Licensed Plumber, Drainer & Gasfitter - 305428C, ABN: 49 147 237 741). The business is comprehensively insured, with Public Liability and Workers Compensation maintained, which helps protect you if accidental damage occurs during the job.

Exploding Pipe Saga

A ruptured pipe at a property in Naremburn needs urgent attention because even a small split can quickly cause water damage to floors, cabinetry, and walls. Active leaks are stressful, the priority is getting a licensed, insured plumber onsite to make it safe and stop damage. Fixed Today Plumbing offers 24/7 emergency plumbing services, and emergencies are dispatched immediately, with a fixed-price quote provided once the scope is verified.

On first inspection, a burst pipe is often linked to pipe age, a failed joint, accidental damage, or pressure-related stress. The right fix depends on where the pipe has failed and how accessible it is, so the first step is to locate the break and confirm what can be repaired without unnecessary disruption.

Depending on the situation, repair options may include:

  • Targeted repair to the damaged section once it is located
  • Leak detection for hard-to-find breaks
  • Pipe relining where it is suitable for the pipe condition
  • Pipe replacement when the line cannot be reliably repaired

Where regulated work requires paperwork, compliance documentation is provided. And once the repair is complete, the system is tested before the job is closed out.

Your Emergency Drainage Plumber

Emergency drainage plumbing in Naremburn is about stopping overflow and confirming what caused it, so the same problem does not return the next time the line is used. Fixed Today Plumbing provides 24/7 emergency plumbing support for residential and commercial clients, with immediate dispatch for emergencies and same-day service available for standard plumbing and gas enquiries. Arrival timing depends on current bookings, access, and traffic, and we provide ETA updates where possible.

Blocked sewers, overflowing toilets, and sudden floor waste backups can create property damage quickly. The aim is to restore flow safely, then confirm whether the issue was a build-up, a foreign object, or a structural fault that needs repair. If inspection shows damage, options are explained and quoted after the scope is clarified.

When you book an emergency visit, you can expect a practical, safety-focused attendance:

  • Clear communication before arrival, including updates where possible
  • Technicians who are uniform-wearing, respectful, and committed to leaving work areas clean/tidy
  • Identity confirmed on arrival before entry, with technicians able to identify themselves
  • Upfront pricing provided once the issue is assessed, with the Fixed Price Guarantee (the price quoted is the price paid)
  • Workmanship backed by the Lifetime Labour Warranty on all workmanship

In practice, access is often the deciding factor in how quickly an emergency can be resolved. If a property has strata rules, limited parking, or a specific entry window, letting us know at booking helps the attending plumber arrive prepared.

Gas Plumbers

Gas work in Naremburn should be treated as a safety job, not a guess-and-check repair, because gas leaks and faulty connections can put people and property at risk. Fixed Today Plumbing is duly licensed in NSW for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting, and the attending technician is a licensed plumbing specialist (NSW). If there is a suspected leak, an urgent assessment is arranged, and the next steps are confirmed after inspection and upfront quoting.

What often happens is that a gas issue presents as a smell near an appliance, poor burner performance, or a suspected leak in a concealed space. A licensed gas fitter will test the system and confirm whether the fault is at an appliance, a connection, or pipework, then explain the repair approach in plain English before work begins.

Gas services include:

  • Laying out new gas points
  • Installing and repairing gas-fuelled heating systems
  • Installing and maintaining gas cooking appliances
  • Installing and servicing gas heaters
  • Locating and repairing gas leaks

Where required, compliance documentation is provided for regulated work. And because pricing depends on access, the length of the run, and what needs replacing, a fixed-price quote is provided after the scope is agreed, before repairs proceed.

Hot Water Servicing

Hot water servicing for Naremburn properties usually starts with confirming whether the issue is the unit itself, the power or gas supply, or a related valve or connection. Fixed Today Plumbing installs and repairs gas, electric, and solar hot water systems, and same-day service is available for standard enquiries. If an urgent breakdown leaves you without hot water, 24/7 emergency support is also available.

The usual sequence is that a system gives warning signs before failing completely, such as temperature swings or rusty-looking water in the morning. Once the cause is identified, the technician explains the options and provides upfront job pricing before any repair or replacement work goes ahead.

We work with a range of hot water systems, including:

  • Instant hot water systems
  • Electric systems
  • Gas systems
  • Solar hot water service systems

Common brands include Rheem, Dux, Vulcan, Aquamax, Thermann, and Rinnai. New hardware is covered by standard manufacturer warranties, and installation workmanship is backed by the Lifetime Labour Warranty on all workmanship.

Contact Fixed Today

Booking a drain blockage plumber in Naremburn is easiest when the scope is clear, so Fixed Today Plumbing will ask which fixtures are affected, whether there is any overflow, and what access is available onsite. This helps allocate the nearest available licensed service technician from our Sydney dispatch points and set realistic arrival expectations. If access involves strata rules or a tight booking window, we can work around that when it is disclosed upfront.

Price uncertainty is common with drainage because the cause is not always visible at the surface. That is why we provide upfront pricing before starting work, based on confirmed scope, and the Fixed Price Guarantee (the price quoted is the price paid) applies once the quote is accepted. Call-out arrangements vary across Sydney, so it is worth confirming whether your Naremburn booking falls under the "No call-out fee for many service areas (check specific suburb pages)" policy.

For landlords, property managers, and strata, we provide receipts and invoices suitable for landlords, agents, and business records, and we can document work completed and tests performed where relevant. Technicians are uniform-wearing, respectful, and committed to leaving work areas clean/tidy, with drop sheets or protective covers used where practical.

To book, call 1800 349 338 or email jobs@fixedtoday.com.au. Payment is available via all major Credit Cards (Visa, Mastercard). If you mention "web55", $55 off applies (limited to 1 per person/paying jobs).

Blocked Drain FAQ's in Naremburn

What are the common causes of blocked drains?

Blocked drains in Naremburn are commonly caused by build-up in the line (such as grease in kitchen pipes or hair and soap residue in bathroom drains) or an obstruction that catches more debris over time. Tree roots can also enter damaged underground pipes. The cause matters because clearing is different to repairing damaged sections, and the scope is defined before quoting.

How can I prevent my drains from getting blocked?

You can reduce repeat blockages by limiting what goes into the drain and having recurring issues assessed properly. In many homes, the underlying cause is a restriction that keeps catching debris. If blockages happen more than once, an inspection is often the fastest way to confirm whether it is a build-up issue or damaged pipework that needs repair.

What should I do if my drain is blocked?

If a drain is blocked in Naremburn, it is usually safest to stop using the affected fixture and arrange an assessment so the cause can be confirmed and cleared without damaging pipework. Overflow and sewer smells can indicate a more serious restriction, so treat it as urgent. Fixed Today Plumbing can attend, diagnose, then provide a fixed-price quote before any work starts.

Can I use chemical drain cleaners to unblock my drains?

Chemical drain cleaners can damage some pipe materials and fittings, and they often do not address the underlying cause of a persistent blockage. They can also make professional clearing messier and less safe if the line needs to be opened. If the drain is repeatedly slow or backing up, a CCTV inspection and proper clearing method is usually the safer approach.

How do plumbers clear blocked drains?

Plumbers typically clear blocked drains by locating the restriction and then choosing a method that suits the pipework condition. Fixed Today Plumbing commonly uses CCTV inspection equipment to confirm the cause and position, then high-pressure water jetting to remove debris and restore flow. If inspection shows structural damage, repair options are explained and quoted once scope is confirmed onsite.

What are the signs of a blocked drain?

Common signs of a drain blockage include slow drainage, gurgling sounds, unpleasant odours, and water backing up in a shower, sink, or toilet. A pattern we notice is that multiple fixtures acting up at once often points to a blockage further down the line. If there is overflow or sewage, treat it as urgent and book a licensed and insured plumbing technician.

Can blocked drains cause damage to my property?

Yes, blocked drains can cause damage because water has nowhere to go and may overflow into bathrooms, laundries, or kitchens. Ongoing moisture can damage cabinetry, flooring, and plaster, and it can lead to mould. If the restriction is caused by broken pipework, pressure and repeated backups can worsen the damage, so early diagnosis usually reduces disruption.

How often should I have my drains inspected and cleaned?

Most properties only need inspection or cleaning when there are symptoms or a history of repeat blockages, because the right timing depends on how the system is used and the condition of the pipework. If problems keep returning, a CCTV inspection can confirm whether it is build-up, roots, or damaged drains. Once the cause is known, the maintenance approach becomes clearer.
