Looking for a Specific Type of Plumber in Narraweena?

Blocked drains in Narraweena are usually fixed properly by locating the restriction first, because clearing the wrong point can leave the real problem behind. Fixed Today Plumbing starts with a detailed onsite assessment using specialised diagnostic tools, then provides a fixed-price quote with no hidden costs before work starts. Once approved, the repair is completed to Australian plumbing standards and the system is tested before the area is cleaned up.

Narraweena properties sit within Sydneys Northern Beaches area, and onsite conditions can vary a lot between homes, units, and tenancies. Access, parking, and any strata booking windows can affect how quickly equipment can be set up and how the work is carried out. We confirm these practical details early so the scope, timing, and the fixed quote match the actual site conditions.

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. All attending technicians are licensed and properly insured plumbers in NSW, and the business is comprehensively insured, with current insurance policies maintained (Public Liability and Workers Compensation). Public Liability insurance helps protect you if accidental property damage occurs during work. Workers Compensation relates to workplace injuries on the job.

For price certainty, we use fixed, transparent pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour) and the Fixed Price Guarantee (the price quoted is the price paid). 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 in Narraweena its worth confirming whether a call-out applies for your address. Customers who mention "web55" receive $55 off (limited to 1 per person/paying jobs).

If you want to book, a quick description of what is happening (slow drain, overflow, bad smells, or repeated blockages) helps allocate the right licensed and insured plumber and equipment. For urgent problems, we offer immediate dispatch for emergencies and can share ETA updates where possible.

Blocked Drains

A drain blockage in Narraweena usually means something is restricting flow in the pipe, so water cant leave the property as it should. Fixed Today Plumbing clears common external and internal blockages by confirming where the restriction is first, then using a suitable clearing method for the pipework. This covers typical accessible household drains; if inspection shows a damaged or collapsed line, the repair options are explained and quoted once scope is agreed.

What typically happens is a slow drain turns into gurgling, bad smells, or water backing up when another fixture is used. If its left too long, wastewater can overflow into bathrooms or laundry areas, and pressure can stress weak joints. Thats why the goal is not just to get it draining, but to confirm what caused the restriction and whether the pipe is intact.

A few common reasons for a blockage include:

  • A kitchen sink blockage due to wrong waste disposal
  • An obedient shower drain net somehow ensnared with hair and other debris
  • The global epidemic of grease buildup
  • Tree roots conducting underground guerrilla warfare

On similar jobs, the quickest clarity often comes from seeing inside the line. Fixed Today Plumbing uses technology including CCTV drain cameras and high-pressure jetters to locate the cause and clear the pipe without unnecessary digging where possible. After clearing, we verify the result by checking flow and function so youre not guessing whether its actually resolved.

If the drain is overflowing or affecting toilets, its worth arranging an assessment promptly. You dont need to diagnose it, just describe what youre seeing and well confirm the cause onsite before quoting.

Fixed, upfront pricing and clear scope

Pricing is fixed and confirmed before work starts, based on the diagnosed scope. It is fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), backed by the Fixed Price Guarantee (the price quoted is the price paid). Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued, so you have time to decide once the cause is confirmed.

Verified reviews and long-term local service

Fixed Today Plumbing has 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 complicated drainage jobs, where the outcome depends on diagnosing the right section of pipe and confirming the fix before leaving.

24/7 emergency support and same-day availability

24/7 Emergency support for domestic and commercial clients is available, and same-day service is available for all standard plumbing and gas enquiries. For emergencies, urgent jobs are sent out first and the nearest available technician is allocated from localised dispatch points across Sydney, including West Sydney, Dolans Bay, and Ruse. ETA updates are provided where possible.

Licensed, insured, and accountable workmanship

Fixed Today Plumbing is fully licensed in NSW for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting, and all attending technicians are fully licensed plumbers in NSW. The business is properly insured, with current insurance policies maintained (Public Liability and Workers Compensation). Work is backed by the Lifetime Labour Warranty on all workmanship, alongside standard manufacturer warranties on hardware and appliances.

We Repair Burst Pipes

A burst pipe at a Narraweena property is urgent because uncontrolled water can damage walls, floors, and cabinetry quickly. Fixed Today Plumbing repairs ruptured pipes by first locating the leak and confirming what has failed, then providing fixed, upfront pricing once the scope is clear. This applies to most accessible commercial and residential pipework; if the leak sits under slabs or behind finished surfaces, the options are explained before any further work proceeds.

Active leaks are stressful. If you already know where the main water shut-off is and it is safe to access, turning it off can reduce damage while a correctly licensed and insured plumbing technician is on the way.

A pattern we notice is that the early signs are often subtle: a sudden dip in water pressure, unexplained damp patches, or water hammer sounds. Fixed Today Plumbing can use Electronic Ultrasonic Leak Detection for hidden bursts, which helps narrow down the affected area before any repair plan is confirmed.

Depending on what is found, solutions may include pipe repair, replacement of ageing sections, or leak detection and repair to pinpoint the failure point. Where drain relining is an appropriate option, it can reduce disruption because it avoids unnecessary excavation. Once repaired, we verify the outcome with practical checks and leave the area tidy.

Emergency Blocked Drains

An emergency clogged drain in Narraweena usually involves sewage or grey water backing up, an overflowing toilet, or a blockage that is affecting multiple fixtures at once. Fixed Today Plumbing delivers 24/7 emergency services for commercial and domestic clients and uses immediate dispatch for emergencies. This is designed to stop damage and restore safe drainage first, then confirm what caused the failure and what needs to happen next.

When wastewater is backing up, continuing to run taps, showers, or the washing machine can make the overflow worse. The practical priority is getting a licensed and fully insured plumber onsite to make the situation safe and stable.

Following our standard process, we attend with suitable equipment and confirm the affected area before quoting. Where possible, we also provide brief safety-first guidance by phone while the plumber is on the way, without asking you to diagnose the fault.

Heres what our 24/7 emergency plumbing services in Narraweena promise:

  • Immediate dispatch for emergencies, with urgent jobs sent out first
  • All attending technicians are licensed plumbers in NSW
  • Equipment such as CCTV drain cameras and high-pressure jetters where suitable
  • Fixed, clear pricing once the scope is confirmed
  • Clear communication, including ETA updates where possible

If the issue involves sewage, repeated overflows, or theres any doubt about what is happening, booking an urgent assessment is the safest next step. We will confirm the cause onsite and explain the options before any work proceeds.

Gas Plumbers

Gas fitting at a Narraweena property must be completed by a licensed gas fitter, because leaks and incorrect connections are safety risks. Fixed Today Plumbing provides licensed gas fitting, appliance installation, gas leakage detection and repair, and new gas connections across Sydney. This includes domestic and commercial work; where regulated documentation is required, it is provided for the work completed.

On first inspection, the focus is confirming whether the issue is a leak, a faulty appliance connection, or a supply problem. Gas work also needs the right testing before the system is put back into use. If you can smell gas, treat it as urgent and arrange a NSW-licensed gasfitter to attend.

We offer 24/7 emergency services for domestic and commercial clients and can allocate the nearest available technician from our local dispatch points across Sydney. Arrival timing depends on current bookings and traffic conditions, but we provide ETA updates where possible so you know what to expect.

Hot Water Problems

Hot water problems in Narraweena usually come down to a failing system, a component fault, or a safety valve issue that needs licensed attention. Fixed Today Plumbing handles water heater installation, repair, and maintenance, and can provide fixed, upfront pricing once the system type and fault are confirmed. This applies to most major household setups; if replacement is the safer option, the reasons and choices are explained before proceeding.

Whether you fancy an instant, electric, or gas-powered water heater, we can install, repair, and maintain a broad range of models from globally renowned brands like:

  • Rheem
  • Dux
  • Vulcan
  • Aquamax
  • Thermann

From comparable work, early warning signs are often inconsistent temperatures, low hot water pressure, or discoloured water in the morning. 24/7 Emergency support for domestic and commercial clients is available if you have no hot water or suspect a leak from the unit. Once the cause is confirmed, we complete the repair or replacement to meet Australian Standards and verify safe operation before leaving.

Local Plumbers

For plumbing work in Narraweena, the practical difference is knowing exactly what will happen on the day: who is arriving, how the price is set, and how the result is checked. Fixed Today Plumbing services Narraweena and the wider Sydney metro area, with 24/7 emergency plumbing services for commercial and domestic clients and same-day service available for all standard plumbing and gas enquiries. Where access is complex, we can work around strata rules, restricted parking, or booking windows when disclosed.

Pricing is fixed and confirmed before work starts. That means you receive fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), and it is backed by the Fixed Price Guarantee (the price quoted is the price paid). If you are unsure about call-out fees for Narraweena, ask at the time of booking because no call-out fee applies for many service areas (check specific suburb pages).

Trust and safety matters when you are letting someone into your home. Staff identity is confirmed on arrival, and technicians can identify themselves before entry. Technicians arrive in uniform, police checks are completed for technicians, and we take reasonable care around finished surfaces using protective covers where practical.

To book, call 1800 349 338 or use the online enquiry button. You do not need to diagnose the fault, just explain what you are seeing and we will confirm the scope onsite and provide a fixed quote before any work begins.

Blocked Drain FAQ's in Narraweena

What are the common causes of blocked drains?

Blocked drains are commonly caused by a build-up of soap residue and hair in bathrooms, food waste and grease in kitchen lines, foreign objects in toilets, or tree roots entering damaged pipework. The consequence is usually slow draining at first, then gurgling and backflow. The fastest way to confirm the cause is an onsite inspection before a fixed quote is provided.

How can I prevent my drains from getting blocked?

Preventing blocked drains is mostly about keeping the wrong materials out of the pipework. Put cooking oils and fats in the bin instead of the sink, and avoid flushing wipes or sanitary items. Simple strainers can reduce hair and debris entering waste lines. If a drain slows down repeatedly, a professional inspection can confirm whether there is a deeper issue.

What should I do if my drain is blocked?

If a drain is blocked, the safest next step is to limit use of the affected fixtures and arrange an assessment, especially if there is overflow or sewage smell. Fixed Today Plumbing can attend Narraweena for drain blockage work and confirm the cause onsite before quoting. This avoids accidental pipe damage that can happen when the restriction is not properly located first.

Can I use chemical drain cleaners to unblock my drains?

Chemical drain cleaners are not a reliable solution for many blockages and can create problems if they sit in the pipe or are used repeatedly. They may also complicate a plumbers inspection if the line needs to be checked with tools. If the drain is slow, backing up, or recurring, an onsite assessment is usually the clearer and safer option before any repair is chosen.

How do plumbers clear blocked drains?

Plumbers typically clear blocked drains by locating what is restricting flow, then using a suitable clearing method for the pipe material and blockage type. Fixed Today Plumbing commonly uses camera inspection equipment to inspect the line and high-pressure jetting to remove debris and roots where appropriate. After the line is cleared, flow is checked so the outcome is verified, not assumed.

What are the signs of a drain blockage?

Common signs of a blocked drain include slow draining water, gurgling sounds, unpleasant odours, or water rising in a shower or sink when another fixture is used. A more serious sign is wastewater backing up or overflowing. If you are seeing repeated symptoms at a Narraweena property, an onsite inspection can confirm whether it is a local blockage or a larger drainage issue.

Can blocked drains cause damage to my property?

Yes, blocked drains can cause property damage because backflow and overflow can wet floors, walls, and cabinetry and lead to mould or structural problems. Pressure can also stress weak pipe joints, which increases the risk of leaks. If the blockage involves sewage or repeated overflows, it is usually safer to treat it as urgent and book a licensed and insured plumbing technician to attend.

How often should I have my drains inspected and cleaned?

There is no single schedule that fits every property, because it depends on the age of the pipework, how the drains are used, and whether you have a history of blockages. Many households only need attention when symptoms appear, while others choose periodic checks. If you are in Narraweena and blockages keep returning, an inspection can identify the cause and guide next steps.
