Looking for a Specific Type of Plumber in North Narrabeen?

Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in North Narrabeen by diagnosing the restriction with CCTV cameras and removing it using the method that restores flow without unnecessary disruption to your property. We dispatch licensed plumbers from nearby Sydney hubs, with same-day availability for most standard clogged drains and immediate dispatch for urgent flooding or backup situations. You'll receive a fixed-price quote based on confirmed scope before any clearing work proceeds, so you can decide with full visibility of what's involved and what it costs.

Drainage blockages in residential properties typically result from a buildup of debris such as hair, soap residue, grease, or foreign objects that accumulate over time and narrow the pipe diameter. In suburbs with established landscaping, tree roots can also enter small cracks in aging pipes and expand, trapping additional material and eventually restricting flow. When water drains slowly, gurgles, or backs up into fixtures, it signals that the blockage has reached a point where professional clearing is needed to prevent overflow or damage to the plumbing system.

We've been operating across Sydney for over 15 years, with a multi-van fleet of licensed master plumbers and a near-perfect 5-star rating based on 800+ verified customer reviews. Our technicians carry high-definition CCTV drain cameras and high-pressure water jetting equipment in fully stocked mobile workshops, allowing us to assess and clear most blockages during the first visit. All work is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship, and we're fully insured with Public Liability and Workers Compensation for your protection.

If you're dealing with slow drainage, backup, or foul odours from a blocked kitchen sink, shower drain, or external sewer line, a quick call is enough to arrange an assessment. Our team will confirm the affected area, explain what's causing the restriction, and provide a transparent fixed quote before starting the clearing work.

Drainage Issue?

When water takes longer than usual to drain from sinks, showers, or toilets, or when you notice gurgling sounds coming from drainage points, it indicates a partial blockage somewhere in the line. Fixed Today Plumbing clears these blockages by first locating the restriction with CCTV CCTV check, then removing it with high-pressure water jetting or mechanical clearing depending on what's causing the obstruction. This process restores normal flow and confirms the line is clear; if the camera reveals structural damage such as collapsed pipe sections or severe root intrusion, we explain the repair options and provide a separate quote for any additional work required.

Blockages form for several reasons. In kitchen drains, fats and oils solidify as they cool, gradually coating the pipe walls and trapping food particles. Bathroom drains collect hair, soap scum, and small objects that create a mat across the pipe opening. External sewer lines in properties with mature trees are vulnerable to root intrusion, where fine roots enter microscopic cracks and expand over time, catching toilet paper and solid waste until flow is restricted.

What typically happens during a clogged drain job: we confirm which fixtures are affected and check access to the nearest inspection point. The CCTV camera is fed into the line to identify the blockage type, depth, and exact location. For debris, grease, or roots, we use high-pressure water jetting at 3,000+ PSI to scour the pipe walls and restore near-full capacity. The camera is run again after clearing to verify the blockage is removed and check for any structural issues that need attention.

You'll notice the difference immediately. Water drains freely, gurgling stops, and foul odours caused by trapped waste dissipate. If clearing reveals a crack, offset joint, or root damage that risks future blockages, we document it with camera footage and explain whether monitoring, relining, or replacement is the practical next step. The fixed quote covers the clearing work; any structural repair is scoped and quoted separately so there's no confusion about what's included.

Our team works across North Narrabeen and surrounding Northern Beaches suburbs, handling everything from simple hair clogs to complex sewer line restrictions. We carry the tools and parts needed for most standard blockages, which means the job is often completed during the initial visit. Same-day service is available for non-emergency situations, and urgent jobs involving flooding or sewage backup are dispatched immediately to limit property damage.

Burst Pipe Plumbers

A sudden drop in water pressure, wet patches on walls or ceilings, or an unexplained spike in your water bill usually points to a broken pipe somewhere on the property. Fixed Today Plumbing locates the leak using electronic ultrasonic detection or thermal imaging, then repairs it with the method that stops water loss and restores system integrity. For accessible pipes, we can patch or replace the damaged section; for pipes under slabs or behind finished walls, we assess whether trenchless relining is viable or excavation is required, and provide a fixed quote once the location and extent of damage are confirmed.

Burst pipes happen for several reasons. Aging galvanised steel or copper pipes can corrode from the inside, weakening until water pressure causes a split. Ground movement from reactive clay soils or tree root activity can stress rigid pipe joints. Sudden pressure surges, known as water hammer, can crack brittle pipe materials. In older homes, pipes that have been patched multiple times eventually reach a point where replacement becomes the more durable solution.

Our team isolates the water supply to stop flooding, then uses detection equipment to pinpoint the exact leak location without unnecessary wall or floor removal. Once located, we explain the repair options: patching works for small splits in accessible pipes, sectional replacement is used when corrosion has weakened a larger area, and drain relining creates a seamless internal sleeve for pipes that are otherwise difficult to reach. The fixed quote includes the repair method, materials, and any access work needed; you decide whether to proceed once you understand what's involved and what it costs.

Burst pipes require prompt attention to prevent water damage, mould growth, and structural issues. That's why we provide 24/7 emergency dispatch for active leaks. An ETA is provided when booking, and arrival timing depends on current job load and traffic conditions across the service area. If the burst is causing flooding or affecting electrical systems, we prioritise the callout to get the situation stabilised as quickly as possible.

We handle burst pipe repairs across North Narrabeen, from minor pin-hole leaks in copper lines to major sewer pipe fractures. Our mobile workshops carry replacement pipe sections, fittings, and relining equipment for most residential pipe types, which allows us to complete repairs during the first visit when access and parts availability allow.

Emergency Drain Services

Drainage emergencies such as sewage backup, toilets overflowing, or water flooding from a blocked stormwater drain need immediate professional attention to stop the damage and make the situation safe. Fixed Today Plumbing provides 24/7 emergency plumbing services for North Narrabeen residents, with licensed plumbers dispatched immediately for urgent situations. We isolate the affected area, locate the blockage or failure point, and restore flow or stop the leak so the immediate risk is controlled, then explain what caused it and provide a fixed quote for any permanent repair work needed.

Emergency situations escalate quickly. Sewage backup exposes occupants to contamination and damages flooring and furnishings. A blocked stormwater drain during heavy rain can flood yards, garages, and ground-floor living areas. A broken pipe or failed hot water tank floods rooms and risks electrical hazards if water reaches outlets or appliances. The priority in every emergency callout is to stop the water flow, limit the damage, and make the environment safe before addressing the underlying cause.

Our emergency plumbers carry diagnostic equipment and the tools needed for immediate temporary repairs if a permanent fix requires parts or access that can't be arranged during the night. Once the emergency is stabilised, we explain what failed, what needs to be done to prevent recurrence, and provide a fixed-price quote for the permanent repair. You're not pressured to proceed with additional work on the spot; the emergency dispatch focuses on getting the situation under control, and the repair work is scheduled separately with full transparency about scope and cost.

We dispatch from nearby Sydney hubs, which means response times are typically faster than services operating from a single central location. An ETA is provided when you call, and if we're delayed by traffic or a prior emergency, we'll update you so you're not left waiting without information. Emergency callouts are prioritised based on risk: active flooding, sewage backup, gas leaks, and situations involving electrical hazards are sent out first.

If you're dealing with a plumbing emergency in North Narrabeen, call 1800 349 338 any time, day or night. Our emergency line is staffed 24/7, and we'll arrange immediate dispatch to get a fully licensed plumber onsite as quickly as current conditions allow.

Gas Fitting

All gas work in NSW must be performed by a properly licensed gas fitter and comply with AS/NZS 5601.1 safety standards. Fixed Today Plumbing holds the required NSW gas fitting licence and provides gas installations, repairs, and leak testing for domestic and commercial properties in North Narrabeen. We install new gas points for cooktops, ovens, heaters, and hot water service systems; connect main gas lines; repair leaks; and issue compliance certificates where required by regulation. All installations are pressure-tested before commissioning to ensure the system is gas-tight and safe to operate.

Gas leaks are identified by the distinctive mercaptan odour (added for safety), hissing sounds near appliances or pipework, dying vegetation over underground lines, or unusual soot buildup on burners. If you suspect a gas leak, isolate the gas supply at the meter if safe to do so, open windows for ventilation, avoid using electrical switches or open flames, and arrange an immediate assessment. Our 24/7 emergency service handles gas leaks as priority callouts due to the fire and explosion risk.

Gas appliance installations involve more than connecting a hose. The gas line must be correctly sized for the appliance load, pressure-tested to confirm there are no leaks, and the appliance must be commissioned according to the manufacturer's specifications. In most jurisdictions, a compliance certificate is issued upon completion to verify the installation meets safety standards. We handle the full process, from running new gas lines where needed to testing and certifying the completed work.

For new gas point installations, we assess the existing gas supply capacity, confirm the route for the new line, and provide a fixed quote before starting. If the gas meter needs upgrading to handle additional load, we coordinate with the gas distributor to arrange the meter swap as part of the overall project. This ensures the system is correctly sized and compliant from the meter through to the appliance.

Our licensed gas fitters work across North Narrabeen and surrounding suburbs, handling residential gas installations, commercial appliance connections, and emergency leak repairs. All work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship, and we're comprehensively insured with Public Liability and Workers Compensation for your protection during gas-related work.

Hot Water Servicing

When your hot water supply system fails or becomes unreliable, Fixed Today Plumbing diagnoses the fault and provides replacement or repair options based on what's most practical and cost-effective for your situation. We service and install all major hot water supply service types including electric storage, gas continuous flow, gas storage, heat pump, and solar systems, working with brands such as Rheem, Dux, Vulcan, Aquamax, and Thermann. For simple faults like a failed thermostat or pressure relief valve, repairs are usually completed during the first visit; for systems that have reached end-of-life or where the repair cost approaches replacement cost, we explain the options and provide fixed quotes for both so you can make an informed decision.

Hot water system faults present in predictable ways. Fluctuating temperatures, rust-coloured water, or visible corrosion around the tank usually indicate a failing sacrificial anode rod or sediment buildup inside the tank. No hot water at all points to a failed heating element (electric systems) or burner/gas valve issue (gas systems). Leaking from the tank base or pressure relief valve suggests internal tank corrosion or excessive pressure buildup. Water that's too hot indicates a thermostat fault that requires prompt attention to prevent scalding risk.

During the initial assessment, we test the heating elements or gas burner function, check the thermostat and pressure relief valve operation, inspect the tank for corrosion or leaks, and assess whether the system is operating within normal parameters. If it's repairable, we provide a fixed quote covering the parts and labour. If the tank has corroded through or the system has failed repeatedly, we explain why replacement is the more reliable long-term solution and provide options across different system types and sizes based on your household's hot water usage and available space.

Hot water system installations require compliance with the National Construction Code and AS/NZS 3500 standards. This includes installing tempering valves to limit water temperature at the tap (preventing scalding), fitting pressure relief valves to prevent tank over-pressurisation, and positioning the system correctly for safe operation and maintenance access. We handle the full installation process, including obtaining required permits, removing the old system, installing and commissioning the new unit, and issuing compliance certificates where applicable.

For urgent hot water failures in North Narrabeen, we offer same day service where current workload allows, and 24/7 emergency dispatch for situations involving active leaks or gas-related faults. If your hot water has stopped working or the system is behaving erratically, a quick call allows us to arrange an assessment and get your hot water restored with minimal disruption.

Our team of licensed plumbers operates across Sydney's Northern Beaches and surrounding regions, dispatched from nearby hubs to ensure reliable response times for both standard and emergency service calls. We handle everything from routine tap repairs and toilet faults to complex drainage problems and full gas fitting installations.

What sets us apart is transparency. You're told upfront what the call-out fee policy is when booking (varies by suburb, so confirm when you call). The diagnostic assessment identifies the problem, and you receive a fixed-price quote before any repair work starts. The quote is valid for one month, and the price is by the job, not by the hour, which means no surprises when the work takes longer than expected. If additional issues are found during the work, we stop, explain what's been discovered, and provide a separate quote for that work before proceeding.

We're a family-owned business that's been operating in Sydney for over 15 years. Our plumbers are uniformed, respectful, and vetted with police and background checks. They arrive with the tools and parts needed for most standard residential and commercial plumbing work, which means jobs are often completed during the first visit when access and scope allow. We use drop sheets and boot covers to protect your floors, explain what we're doing before we start, and clean up the work area before leaving.

All our work is backed by a Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship, which means if a fault develops due to our work, we return and fix it at no charge. We're comprehensively insured with Public Liability and Workers Compensation, protecting you and your property during the job. Compliance certificates are issued for regulated work such as gas installations and backflow prevention, and we can provide documentation suitable for landlords, strata managers, and business records where required.

Properties around North Narrabeen and the broader Northern Beaches area experience typical coastal plumbing challenges. The combination of sandy soils, proximity to the lagoon, and mature trees in established streets means drainage blockages from root intrusion are common, and external pipework can be affected by ground movement during wet and dry cycles. We've completed hundreds of jobs across the Northern Beaches suburbs, so we understand the access constraints, parking realities, and property types that affect how plumbing work is approached in this area.

When blocked drains, ruptured pipes, or faulty hot water systems disrupt your property, you need a plumber who can assess the problem accurately, quote the work transparently, and complete it to a professional standard. That's what Fixed Today Plumbing delivers. Call 1800 349 338 to arrange an assessment, or enquire online for a callback. We provide upfront fixed pricing, service the same day where possible, and a free quote for all work. If it's an emergency, we're available 24/7 with immediate dispatch for urgent situations.

Blocked Drain FAQ's in North Narrabeen

What causes blocked drains in North Narrabeen properties?

Blocked drains typically result from debris buildup such as hair, soap scum, grease, and food particles that accumulate over time and restrict water flow. In properties with mature trees, fine roots enter small cracks in aging pipes and expand, trapping additional material until the line is blocked. Foreign objects like sanitary products or wipes flushed down toilets also cause blockages. The specific cause is identified during CCTV CCTV check, which shows the blockage type and location so the right clearing method can be used.

How do you clear blocked drains without damaging pipes?

We use CCTV cameras to locate the blockage and identify what's causing it, then select the clearing method based on the obstruction type. High-pressure water jetting at 3,000+ PSI removes debris, grease, and roots by scouring the pipe walls without damaging the pipe structure. For solid objects or stubborn blockages, mechanical drain snakes break up the obstruction. The camera is run again after clearing to verify the blockage is removed and check for any structural damage that needs attention.

What should I do if my drain is backing up right now?

Stop using the affected fixtures immediately to prevent overflow and further backup. If the blockage is causing sewage backup or flooding, isolate the water supply where safe to do so and arrange an emergency callout. Our 24/7 emergency service prioritises active flooding and sewage backup situations due to the contamination risk and property damage potential. An ETA is provided when you call, and the plumber will stabilise the situation, clear the blockage, and explain what caused it once flow is restored.

Will I know the price before work starts?

Yes. After diagnosing the blockage with camera inspection, we provide a fixed-price quote covering the clearing work before starting. The quote includes the method used, time on site, and any access work needed. The price is by the job, not by the hour, so you're not charged extra if clearing takes longer than expected. If the camera reveals structural damage requiring repair, that's scoped and quoted separately so there's no confusion about what's included in the clearing price.

Can tree roots be cleared without digging up the yard?

In most cases, yes. High-pressure water jetting cuts through roots and scours them from the pipe walls, restoring flow without excavation. The CCTV camera confirms the roots are cleared and checks whether they've caused structural damage such as cracks or displaced joints. If the pipe structure is compromised, trenchless drain relining creates a seamless internal sleeve that seals cracks and prevents future root entry. Excavation is only required if the pipe has collapsed or relining isn't viable for the pipe type.

How quickly can you respond to a drain blockage in North Narrabeen?

We offer same-day service for standard clogged drains where current workload allows, and immediate dispatch for emergency situations involving flooding or sewage backup. Our plumbers are dispatched from nearby Sydney hubs, which allows for typical response times across the Northern Beaches area. An ETA is provided when booking, and arrival timing depends on current job load and traffic conditions. Urgent jobs are prioritised based on risk, with active flooding and contamination hazards sent out first.

What if the blockage happens again after clearing?

If a blockage recurs shortly after clearing, it usually indicates an underlying structural issue such as pipe damage, root intrusion points, or incorrect pipe grading that allows debris to settle. We document these conditions during the camera inspection and explain whether monitoring, relining, or replacement is needed to prevent future blockages. All clearing work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship, so if the same blockage recurs due to our work, we return and address it at no charge.

Do you charge a call-out fee for blocked drains in North Narrabeen?

Call-out fee policies vary by suburb. When you book, confirm whether a call-out fee applies for your specific location in North Narrabeen and whether it's waived if you proceed with the quoted work. The diagnostic assessment identifies the blockage and provides the information needed for a fixed-price quote, so you're not deciding blindly. There are no hidden costs added at the end; the price quoted is the price paid.

Can you clear blocked stormwater drains as well as sewer drains?

Yes. We clear both sewer and stormwater blockages using the same diagnostic and clearing methods. Stormwater drains typically block from leaf litter, silt buildup, or debris washed in during heavy rain. Sewer drains block from waste buildup, grease, or root intrusion. The CCTV camera identifies which line is affected and what's causing the blockage, then we clear it with high-pressure jetting or mechanical methods depending on the obstruction type and pipe material.

What happens if you find damage during the drain inspection?

If the camera inspection reveals cracks, collapsed sections, or root damage, we document it with camera footage and explain the findings in plain English. You're given the options: whether the damage can be monitored, repaired with trenchless relining, or requires excavation and replacement. We provide a separate fixed-price quote for any structural repair work so you can decide whether to proceed immediately or schedule it separately. The clearing work is completed first to restore flow, then repair work is handled as a distinct job.
